Charlie Sheen, the 60-year-old actor best known for his role in “Two and a Half Men,” has revealed that he has been celibate for the past eight years. Since quitting alcohol and drugs in 2017, Sheen has not engaged in any romantic relationships and is contemplating the prospect of finding love again in the future. Speaking to the *New York Post*, he remarked on the simplicity of his current situation, stating, “If I don’t have a girlfriend and I’m not paying for it, then I think the math is pretty simple.”
Reflecting on his past, Sheen acknowledged that for a long time, sex was a major focus in his life. He views his celibacy as a necessary pause from those pursuits, emphasizing that he is not closing the door on future companionship. “That’s not me slamming the door on anything in the future. No, I would absolutely welcome some type of companionship,” he expressed.
Personal Life and Relationships
Sheen has been married three times. His first marriage was to model Donna Peele in the 1990s, followed by a high-profile relationship with actress Denise Richards from 2002 to 2006. His third marriage to Brooke Mueller lasted from 2008 until 2011. He is a father to five children from these relationships: his eldest daughter, Cassandra, 40, with ex-partner Paula Profit; daughters Sami, 21, and Lola, 20, with Richards; and 16-year-old twin sons, Bob and Max, with Mueller.
In discussing his relationship with Mueller, who has also faced struggles with substance abuse, Sheen noted that she is currently doing well. He acknowledged their tumultuous past but assured that it does not affect their children’s stability now. “Even though it might appear that I was a little harder on Brooke than I was on Denise, that was justified. But [Brooke is] doing great,” he stated.
Health and Gratitude
Sheen’s journey has been complicated by his diagnosis of HIV in 2011. He expressed gratitude for overcoming various challenges, including addiction. “A lot of this should be viewed as gravy. It’s borrowed time or my 10th life, because I think I get one more than all those cats,” he reflected on his life after addiction.
Sheen’s candidness about his celibacy and personal experiences reveals a man who is not only confronting his past but is also hopeful about the future. His story serves as a reminder of the complexities of recovery and the potential for personal growth.
