by Katherine, CBB Contributor:
Actress Denise Richards, 36, has been somewhat low-key about talking about the controversy that has been surrounding her the past year, but she recently gave an interview to OK! Magazine, where she clears up some rumors about her and how she is coping as a single mom to Sam, 3, and Lola Rose, 23 months, her children with ex-husband, Charlie Sheen.
Denise feels it’s OK for her daughters to see her sad. Sam walked in and saw me crying about my mom and she wiped my tear and gave me a kiss. Then I thought, ‘You know what? This is life. Mommy sometimes gets sad.’
On how her daughters are adapting to having two homes: I’m doing my best to let my daughters know that Mom and Dad don’t live together. They’ll probably be in therapy before they’re 5.
On her girls’ personalities: Lola looks verymuch like my mother. Sam is a combination of me and Charlie. There aretimes that she’s got little facial expressions that Charlie and I have.Lola came out laughing and giggling. She’s a little more outgoing.Sam’s a little shy at first. They’re both fun. They’re so animated andthey’re getting to be a great age.
On motherhood: I love being a mom. I have two beautiful, healthy girls. I’m really lucky.
On pastimes with the girls: My girls are so much fun. I love dressing them up. We sit by the pool and get manicures and pedicures together…we’ll go in the pool or play with the dogs in the backyard.
Dangers of experimental makeup: My girls do the worst makeup on themselves. They look like Alice Cooper!
