Charlie Sheen Dishes on Relationship With His Kids
Charlie Sheen said he has 'legitimate' relationships with his kids after getting sober around eight years ago.
At one point, Strahan, 53, asked the Emmy winner if his relationship with his five kids has "evolved" since getting sober around eight years ago.
"We have relationships, and we have legitimate ones," the 60-year-old explained. "They really have nothing to do with anything that I do for a living. Because up to a certain age... they don't care about what your ratings are."
Sheen shares daughter Cassandra, 40, with ex Paula Profit, daughters Sami, 21, and Lola, 20, with ex-wife Denise Richards and 16-year-old twins Max and Bob with ex-wife Brooke Mueller.

The NFL alum pressed about his estrangement from Sami.
"I feel like as long as everybody is still in the game, there’s always a shot for a better tomorrow," Charlie shared. "I don’t really know what I did, that’s the problem. I don’t know what I’m supposed to apologize for."
"But I have absolute faith that it's not a forever thing. Her and I will work it out," he insisted. "We have a history of that. It’s too valuable to let some moment destroy all of that."

However, the OnlyFans star has explained she keeps her distance from Charlie due to his past drug use.
Earlier this year, she referred to his troubles in a TikTok where she mouthed along to a quote from a 20/20 interview he did in 2011.
After the reporter asked if there were drugs in his home, the father-of-five replied, "If there are, you better find them and give them to me immediately. No, there are not. Not that I know about. If I know about ‘em, I’ll find ‘em and throw ‘em away."
"It’s not a big deal. Ooh, drugs in the house! Ah, we’re all gonna die!" he mocked.
Sami added text onscreen that read, "When people wonder why I haven’t spoken to my dad in a year but this is my dad. Pretty much sums it up."
Sami previously revealed she stays away from her dad because of his past drug abuse.
Sami also touched on their dynamic during an April episode of Denise Richards & Her Wild Things.
"Me and my dad haven't really spoken much in the past five months. It goes in very big chunks with him," she explained. "I think for the first 13 years of my life, it was pretty bad, and then we were okay for a couple years, and now it's just like, okay."
Denise Richards and the 'Two and a Half Men' alum were married from 2002 to 2006.
"The girls have been through a lot with their dad," the Melrose Place alum, 54, noted. "I understand why Sami feels the way she does. It hasn't always been perfect with he and Lola, either — with any of his kids. So I hope that he does recognize that because he's missing out."
"He really is missing out," Sami emphasized.
