Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller Expecting a Baby

Actor Charlie Sheen and wife Brooke Mueller are expecting their first child together, the couple confirms. This will be the fourth child for Charlie, 42, who is already dad to three daughters — Cassandra Jade, 23, with ex-girlfriend Paula Profitt, as well as Sam, 4, and Lola Rose, 3, with ex-wife Denise Richards. In a statement, Charlie said,

Brooke and I are thrilled! She’s the best stepmom Sam, Lola and Cassandra could ever hope for. Seeing her love and affection with those three, I know she’ll be an amazing mom. Unless I bat 100%, perhaps a boy awaits us.

Brooke, 31, and Charlie married on May 30th, 2008. In early June, the couple had said babies were the next step, but denied that they were expecting at that time.

Comments

I don’t want to be cynical, but I hope within a few years we’re not hearing the same things from Brooke that we did from Denise. I really thought he had turned things around when he met Denise, but then all those allegations — on both sides. Who knows who is telling the truth. Nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors. But I hope things go better for Charlie and Brooke then they did for Charlie and Denise.

congrats. what wonderful news.

- jen on August 25th, 2008

sorry i don’t know how happy I am about this news I don’t trut either of these people whatsoever.

- glenny on August 25th, 2008

I bet he has another daughter. I’m interested to see if brooke and him break up, if he will be in nasty custody battles with her too, just like what goes on with denise constantly. There’s was rumors 2 months ago she was pregnant, looks like it was right but it was too early to confirm it

- brooke on August 25th, 2008

Congratulations to Charlie and Brooke! It would be nice for him to have a little boy – but girls are more fun to shop for!

- misha on August 25th, 2008

23 year old daughter? Wow, I didn’t know that! Does anyone know if she keeps in contact with her father or half-sisters at all?

Anyways, congrats to the two. Hope he gets a boy this time, I think he needs some quality time to get away from all the women in his life ;]

- Kait on August 25th, 2008

I wish the best of luck to this child. He/she’s going to need it.

- Mary on August 25th, 2008

this is a pregnancy that wasn’t a surprise! i figured it would happen soon. congrats to them. i hope they have a healthy baby and that they are able to successfully blend their new family with sam and lola.

- MB on August 25th, 2008

Congratulations to them and i hope whatever might happen to Brooke’s and Charlie’s marriage (and i do wish that this time it lasts) that this child will always come first.

- lilith on August 25th, 2008

here’s hoping they know it’s a boy now after he publicized that comment!

congrats to them!

- Jo on August 25th, 2008

Aw, congrats to them! I figured they would be announcing sometime soon.

- Stephany on August 25th, 2008

wow, really good news. I’m happy for them both!

- Laine on August 25th, 2008

I think Charlie made it clear that he sees his older daughter

- Natasha on August 25th, 2008

I wonder how Denise is taking the news since her and Charlie aren’t on good terms.

I’m so happy for Charlie and Brooke. They really seem like a great match. and hope they last. Plsu i hope Charlie get’s a boy this time.

- Gena on August 25th, 2008

I hope it all works out for them and that in a few years it’s not another Charlie/Denise situation.

- Michelle on August 25th, 2008

Aww, congrats to them! I know he’s a “controversial” star I suppose, but I really like him. I find his show Two & A Half Men hilarious and I love how they poke fun at his past with different references that I probably don’t need to mention haha. Brooke comes across as very kind and classy and Charlie seems really happy. I hope he has finally found the right person for him and congrats to the happy couple!

- Heather on August 25th, 2008

It’s wonderful news for anyone to find out they are expecting a bundle of joy, but I worry about Charlie Sheen having another child. With all the horrible stuff that has come out during his divorce from actress Denise Richards – phyical and emotional abuse, adultery – I worry about another child being brought into that cycle of abuse.

- Orion on August 25th, 2008

Yay!! I have been waiting for this news. Congrats to both of them.

- Kelley on August 25th, 2008

i knew this was coming. I like him on 2 1/2 men, maybe third times the charm….lol.

- steph on August 25th, 2008

Who cares if it’s a boy or a girl this time, he should be glad if his baby is healthy and alive when born, that’s all that matters!! If he wants a boy that bad, go and adopt one. Every baby is a blessing no matter what sex it is. I have 2 daughters and never felt that I had to have a boy I love my girls and they are the joy of my life. I have friends with babies with major problems and I am so grateful just to have healthy babies!!

- Kim on August 25th, 2008

I’m sure that Denise is at home formulating a new lawsuit in order to draw the attention back to her.

- Bethany on August 25th, 2008

Congratulations to both of them! I’ll bet he or she is going to be absolutely adorable.

- Tammy's Tupperware on August 25th, 2008

Um, he never said he was HOPING this child was a boy. He just said maybe they’d have a boy. That sounds to me like a diplomatic way of answering the “you want a boy, right?” question without saying one way or the other. I bet every celeb gets asked if they want a kid of the other sex once they have one (let alone 3) so I don’t think this was a bad way of answering it. Calm down people

- MB on August 25th, 2008

I’m not a fan of his but Lola and Sam are sweet-looking girls and I’m sure this new arrival won’t be different. I’ve never seen Cassandra but I like her name.Chill Kim,I’m sure the entire family is grateful for the girl’s health too.

- eva on August 25th, 2008

He didn’t say anywhere he wouldn’t be happy with a girl, so please don’t go overboard people.

Congrats to them!

- sarita on August 25th, 2008

that’s a little rude kim…no where does it say that he won’t be happy unless it’s a boy….sounds like he was just making a joke or something…

- t on August 25th, 2008

Maybe this little one will put him in a better place with his ex wife. I had no idea he had a daughter that old.

- kdgriffin on August 25th, 2008

the couple confirms: it’s a boy!

- Marie on August 25th, 2008

Sheen NEVER said he hoped the baby was a boy. No need for the attack on him. Also if a person wants to wish or hope their next child is a certain sex there is nothing wrong with that. I get tired of different celebs getting blasted on this site for it.

- SeanJay on August 25th, 2008

I feel the same way SeanJay…it’s basically to the point where i (for the most part) just don’t read the comments…a lot of people seem to have no problem being rude and whatnot…i find it somewhat disgusting and inappropriate…

- t on August 25th, 2008

Congrats. Makes me want to have another baby.just kidding,lol. 3 kids are enough for now.

- Callen on August 25th, 2008

Congrats to them!

As for the baby gender issue…I get what both sides of the argument are saying.

On one side it’s like, I see how Charlie saying that “Perhaps a boy awaits us” is somewhat almost sexist or odd. To put that kind of emphasis on gender so soon into a pregnancy can be so unhealthy as a general vibe to be around. I do see it as being a coy way of him stating that he wants a boy. I also remember him being on Ellen when Denise was pregnant with Lola and he mentioned he would like a boy since he already had two daughters. I think he just maybe wants to see the difference in raising a boy over a girl? Not really sure. I always get irked when I hear guys saying they HAVE TO HAVE A BOY for some weird “namesake” thing or because they will have so much in common with a son over a daughter. I personally do not agree with that theory at all. Once you have a child you realize that they are 100% love and joy and the gender matters 0%. You can play baseball and go fishing with your daughters if you want-just do it. It’s all about how you raise those kids and what you do to share time with them.

In defense of the people saying others are being hard on Charlie, I understand them too. it’s all relative to each individual.

- Rye on August 25th, 2008

great news! he seems really happy and that is nice to see. congrats to the happy couple!!! hope he has a nice, happy, loving drama-free marriage.

charlie – it’s “bat 1000″ but we’ll forgive you.

- Cara on August 25th, 2008

Congratulations, they are beautiful couple !!!

- molly on August 25th, 2008

I think posters always need to bear in mind that most of the time a celeb is asked these kinds of questions by the media – “are you hoping for a boy/girl this time?”; “can you see a boy/girl in your future?”; “what do you think your chances are of having a boy/girl this time?” – then their quote is used. I think it goes without saying that celebs, like everyone else, value a healthy baby above the sex and don’t intend to make a statement about it, but that is the way editing works.
That said, I really don’t see the issue if Charlie is hoping for a boy after three girls. Some people would like the experience of parenting both sexes, that’s all!

- sadie on August 25th, 2008

I love how whenever a celeb couple mentions that they’d eventually like to have a boy, the whole world jumps down their throat but when an individual expresses their desire for a girl, it’s normal.

- Carly on August 26th, 2008

Kait, there was a picture of Cassandra with Charlie and Denise when Sam was born so I’m fairly certain father and daughter are close, or at least in contact. I don’t know what the situation is at the moment, this family seems to be overshadowed by the constant Charlie/Denise stuff. Cassandra doesn’t look a whole lot like Charlie, but from what I remember, she does resemble Sam and Lola.

- phoebe on August 26th, 2008

Congrats to them. I wonder when Brooke is due. I know Charlie has said before he would like to have a son one day, but that doesn’t mean he won’t love his new baby if it’s another girl.
I’m sure he would be thrilled just the same.

- J.J. on August 26th, 2008

Wow, I swear some people will find ANYTHING to complain about or find wrong with what a celebrity says, even when it related to great news of a baby blessing. I just don’t get that. Why not say congrats and move on… Anyway I think he is excited and like all of us parents excited at the prospect and unknown of what gender we’re having etc… I think he was poking fun at how he seems to make all girls but who knows maybe a boy awaits us. He didn’t say, “Ugh I have three daughters I hope I have a boy!” Not at all. Just poking fun and pointing out the obvious in his girl making BUT being an excited expected father with a who knows maybe a boy awaits us. I thought it was cute actually.

He also took the time to name each one of his children in this statement and that is sweet. Clearly he loves them girls and all lol.

Just enjoy the happy news and find something actually WORTH getting all worked up about… like the price of gas.. ugh lol.

- Heather on August 26th, 2008

Congrats to them. As to the boy/girl comments, we have 2 boys already, and would love to have a girl someday. Does that mean we don’t love our sons? No. Does that mean we wouldn’t love another one just as much? Not at all. It just means we would enjoy having a girl (or girls) in the family, too. I’m sure that’s all that Charlie meant, too (except the other way around, of course

- Shelby on August 26th, 2008

I’m a bit feminist.I don’t understand the men who wanted a son first or needed a son for play soccer,baseball etc…
But I don’t think that Charlie will be sad with another girl,simply after three girls he wants a son.I understand this.If they will have a boy,they will love him on the same way of Cassandra,Lola and Sam.Same things for another girl.Every baby is a pure blessing and a wonderful gift of this life.
This is my opinion!

- SARA on August 26th, 2008

I’m no charlie fan at all, but what’s wrong if he does want a son this time around. After having 3 daughters, that’s quite normal, I mean not many people want the same sex after having 3 girls or 3 boys in a row. Does that mean he won’t love the baby if it’s a girl, of course he will, but i’m sure he is hoping for a boy this time around. Brooke burke mentioned wanting a boy the 4th time around and melissa joan hart has said she is hoping for 2 girls in the future after having 2 boys. People love their kids regardless of their sex, but it’s ok to want a different sex after you already have a few kids that are all girls or all boys. That being said I think he is having another daughter, and I hope if brooke and him don’t work out someday, it’s not another bad custody battle like the one with denise that is on going.

- brooke on August 26th, 2008

There is absolutely nothing wrong with what Charlie said, it goes without saying that the health of the baby is of the utmost importance. He has 3 girls, why wouldn’t he like the chance to raise a son. It is no reflection of his feelings for his daughters. Let’s get a life here people! Stop reading into everything.

- Sarah on August 26th, 2008

Well, since Brooke has said she is hoping for triplets maybe Charlie will get 3 boys and even the distribution all at once!

Seriously, though, I wish Brooke a happy and healthy pregnancy, delivery, and baby. Good for them!

I did think that Charlie’s “best stepmom… … Cassandra could ever hope for” comment was a little dig at Denise and it seemed kind of unnecessary. Couldn’t he have just said that Brooke is a great stepmom? Oh well, maybe he didn’t mean it to be a slight to Denise.

- Sami on August 26th, 2008

I’m sort of surprised. I mean, I shouldn’t say that. I guess I wasn’t expecting the news so soon!

But, good luck to the two of them.

- FC on August 26th, 2008

I am confused why this guy is such a role model.

- tnorene on August 26th, 2008

Sami, I thought exactly the same thing. I felt that the sentence about being a stepmum was slightly pointed, although I’m not sure I wasn’t just reading too much into it. Like many people, I’m not really a Charlie fan (that’s not to suggest I’m on Team Denise either) but I do wish the family all the best. Most of all, I would like to see things get better with regards to Sam and Lola’s environment, maybe with the new addition, things will be smoother between their mum and dad. Btw, I don’t mean to exclude Cassandra, she’s just that much older.

- phoebe on August 26th, 2008

If you go to this link you can see a picture of Cassandra from a couple years ago. Congrats to them both.

“I did think that Charlie’s “best stepmom… … Cassandra could ever hope for” comment was a little dig at Denise and it seemed kind of unnecessary.”

How is that a dig against Denise. He’s just including all of his children in that statement. I think it would have been odd if he had only mentioned some of his children. Plus, Denise is no longer Cassandra’s step mother so it’s not as if Charlie is comparing them. I swear Charlie can’t say anything about his children without being slammed for insulting Denise. He didn’t even mention her anywhere in his statement, so clearly this has nothing to do with her.

- Graciebelle on August 26th, 2008

You took the words right out of my mouth MB …. Congratulations ….. no surprise here though and I hope all get along.

- Bancie1031 on August 26th, 2008

I agree with Sami and Phoebe and that’s exactly what I was thinking too…and it’s sad to think that way, but I think it’s true that he DOES throw digs at Denise whenever he gets a chance, and Denise is at fault for the same thing. It seems like whenever either Charlie or Denise are speaking in public they’re both making childish little underlying comments at each other. I’d really be kinda wary of that if I were Brooke. It would be a huge turnoff for me…Charlie and Denise need to grow up IMO before having more relationships and bringing more kids into the world.

- SH on August 26th, 2008

Well I hope this marriage lasts and this baby brings him and Brook the happiness they deserve. I think he needs to be happy for the sake of his girls and for them to be a part of his life with their new stepmom and hopefully this baby won’t be exposed to the media like Denise does with those girls all the time. It;s sad when broken marriages hurt the children, and everyone needs to think of the kids before themselves if they want these families to get along. I hope he and Brook give this baby a better life than the one he had with Denise. Be nice for him to have a boy and the girls get to be a big sister to it and they get to grow up together as friends and siblings.

- Lorrie on August 26th, 2008

I personally think Charlie has been handling this divorce better than Denise. She’s seeming to do anything just to get attention without even thinking about how Sam and Lola will be affected. It just has to end, darn it. But anyway, congrats to Charlie and Brooke. I hope it works out for them
