Charlie Sheen is divorcing his wife Brooke Mueller less than a week after police were called to Manhattan’s Plaza Hotel and found the actor drunk and disoriented in a drug-fueled frenzy, a source told PEOPLE Magazine Monday.
Charlie and Brooke married in May 2008, and have 1-year-old twin sons, Bob and Max, born March 19, 2009. The two separated in April. Their marriage took a turn for the worse last Christmas Eve when they were involved in knife-wielding showdown in Aspen that resulted in domestic violence charges being filed against Sheen. Sheen is currently on probation, which wraps up on Tuesday, after he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of third degree assault. The Two and a Half Men star entered rehab after incident and the actor was ordered by the court to attend domestic violence counseling.
We hear that last May, the now-exes signed a post-nup giving Mueller a one-time settlement of $750,000, plus $55,000 a month in child support. A hefty sum even for Sheen, the highest-paid sitcom star on the small screen. Brooke’ll also get primary custody of 1-year-old twins Bob and Max, with Sheen receiving visitation rights.
FYI: Adult film actress Capri Anderson, aka Christina Walsh, 22, is the mystery woman who allegedly locked herself in the bathroom, naked, the night Sheen ransacked his NYC hotel room.
Their marriage definitely took a turn for the worse on Christmas day, but it is now being reported that both Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller want to patch things up.
Charlie Sheen found the birth of his twins "terrifying." The "Two and a Half Men" star was worried his wife Brooke Mueller and their sons Bob and Max would die during the premature labor last month.
The 43-year-old actor told U.S. TV show "Entertainment Tonight": "She would have been in serious jeopardy had they stayed in longer. The boys were seven weeks early so things were still developing."
"Max has something called ejection fracture. It’s the volume at which the heart pumps and how much blood the heart can pump. There wasn’t anything that any other premature child, especially a twin, doesn’t normally go through. Things are gradually going toward normal."
Bob and Max have now both been released from the hospital but Brooke, 31 – who married Sheen in an intimate ceremony last May – hasn’t recovered from the upset she felt when she first saw them.
She said: "It was scary. I went to the intensive care unit to see them and words can’t express how amazing and shocking to see two human beings that came out of me. But I was scared."
"Our babies had so many tubes on them, it was frightening. I didn’t have the easiest pregnancy. I had pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes and cholestasis."
Brooke says her sons are now "doing great," but is disappointed they don’t look more like her.
She joked: "They are completely Sheens. They don’t have any Mueller genes. I’m like, ‘Can I at least have an ear?!’ Bob looks identical to Charlie. Everybody at the NICU called him Charlie. And Max looks like Charlie’s dad Martin."
Charlie has three other children, daughters Sam, five, and Lola, three, with ex-wife Denise Richards and 24-year-old daughter Cassandra from another marriage.

The police pounded on the front door but neither Lindsay or Samantha opened the door.
Charlie Sheen (41) announced his engagement to Brooke Mueller (29) a real estate investor. Denise Richards (36), who got dumped by Richie Sambora in Hawaii, said the following with a clenched jaw:
“I am genuinely happy for the two of them,” Richards said. “In fact, I sent them flowers to congratulate them both. I’ve spent time with her, and my girls really like her. That’s all that matters to me.”
Richards is also still being questioned about the breakup with Sambora, because she was trying to get him to marry her, except he wasn’t the sucker Charlie was. She also rejects another report that she hired a matchmaker. “That whole story is false. I did not hire a matchmaker. But,” she adds jokingly, “that’s a great idea, maybe I should.”
Good for Charlie. He deserves a little happiness after being betrayed by the mother of his children. As for Richards, she’s just a sad desperate aging bitter sick woman.
