Charlie Sheen's Marriages
Charlie Sheen said his divorces were 'messy.'
He first mentioned starring on the hit CBS sitcom from 2003 until 2011, saying: "I just got really overloaded. It really wasn't so much about what was going on at the job. It was all the personal s--- that it was nearly impossible not to bring with me to work."
"I had four children during those eight years and went through two really messy divorces, you know. And pricey," Sheen recalled.
The Platoon star was married to Richards from 2002 until 2006, and they share daughters Sami, 21, and Lola, 20. He also was married to Brooke Mueller from 2008 until 2011. They are parents to twins Bob and Max, 16. His first marriage was to Donna Peele from 1995 to 1996.
Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards did not have a prenup.
One fan then asked Sheen in the book talk if he recommends signing a prenup before getting married. He advised that it would be smart to get one. "If you can. If you can, yeah. You're gonna get pushback, you're gonna get pushback. But maybe she needs you to sign one. Maybe it goes both ways," the Spin City alum said.
He allegedly had a prenuptial agreement with Mueller, 48, but did not have one with Richards.
