Actress Denise Richards is working on her relationship with Sami Sheen and Lola Sheen, the two daughters she shares with her ex-husband Charlie Sheen.
Sami, 19, has recently moved into her own place in California close to her mother after finding success with her OnlyFans job, while Lola Rose, 18, is still living with the "Wild Things" star.
Denise Richards Is Closer To Her Daughters Than Ever Despite 'Hell House' Claims
According to People magazine, the two girls are no longer living with the "Two and a Half Men" actor. Sami is living on her own while Lola is still living with her mother.
"Sami has her own place — Denise helped her get set up and decorate everything and get settled in," the source told the publication. "They're really closer than ever now. Denise really wants to keep her girls close to her. She doesn't want to push them away."
The source went on to say that it is "traumatizing" for the former Bond girl to try to be a full-time actress, model, and mom, but she "puts them first above everything."
"For Denise, it has been traumatizing trying to stay on top of everything and work full time," the insider went on to say. "But she's a great mom and she has limitless energy for her kids. She puts them first above everything."
Sami Sheen Alleged That She Was 'Trapped' At Denise's House
In September 2021, Sami Sheen alleged in TikTok uploads that she was "trapped" at her mom's house and decided to move out of Denise's house and move in with her father Charlie Sheen, according to Page Six.
"Now finally moved out of the hell house, had a spiritual awakening, own 2 cats, happy single, full of self love, and dropped out of high school," she wrote at the time, as per the outlet.
In a statement made at the time, the 57-year-old actor released a statement through his publicist, saying, "Sam is amazing. I love her and all my children unconditionally. We're having a ball. GED here we come."
Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers Reportedly Have More 'Rules' At Their Home
The following month, a source told People magazine that the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" alum and her current husband, Aaron Phypers, set more rules at their home than the "Major League" Actor, prompting the two teenage girls to feel like they have "more freedom" living with their father.
The insider also revealed that Lola lives with the "Starship Troopers" alum most of the time, but when she has to travel for a role, she goes to stay at her father's house. A source said that Denise wants her kids to stay at home when she travels, but instead they go off to a "big party" at their father's house.
"She would love for the kids, when she has to film, to stay in her nice house but they go to 'Wonderland' where they can get anything they want," the insider said, adding that "everything is a big party" at the actor's house.
That being said, a separate source claimed that "Charlie is a terrific dad and his daughters adore him. They enjoy being with him. Charlie is a strict father but fair. The girls have rules at Charlie's house, which includes homework and curfew. The girls are polite and smart and funny and a joy to be with."
Sami Sheen Explains What She Does For A Living
Earlier this week, the 19-year-old model celebrated her 1-year anniversary on OnlyFans. In a TikTok video, Sami described herself as a "sex worker" and told her followers that her videos perform "really well" even though she feels "awkward" while filming them.
This prompted many fans to express confusion about what exactly she does for a living. In a follow-up TikTok video, Sami clarified that she does not meet up with people to perform indecent acts, nor does she consider herself a 'P' star.
“I’m not a ‘P’ star and I don’t meet up with people. I don’t film myself having sex,” she explained. “I don’t do that. But I also have no judgment toward the people who do do that. That’s just not my line of work and that’s not something I’m comfortable with doing.”
“The only reason I said I’m a sex worker is because my main source of income is from my OF and if people did their f—ing research, they would realize that there’s multiple forms of sex work,” she added. “I’ve been doing OF for a full year now and I love my job.”
