Charlie Sheen and daughter Sami Sheen have had their fair share of ups and downs over the years. Charlie welcomed Sami with ex-wife Denise Richards in March 2004. The Two and a Half Men actor was already a father to daughter Cassandra, whom he shares with high school girlfriend Paula Profit. Charlie and Richards later welcomed daughter Lola in June 2005, a few months after the pair split. In addition to his divorce from Richards, Charlie struggled with substance abuse and addiction throughout Sami's childhood. Charlie ultimately got sober in December 2017. While Charlie has been on the path to sustained recovery, his relationship with Sami has included many rough patches. In March 2025, Sami exclusively told Us Weekly that her bond with her dad is "complicated." Keep scrolling to see what Charlie and Sami have said about their relationship over the years: Moving in With Dad Sami briefly moved in with Charlie in 2021, after dropping out of high school and having tension with her mom. "Sam's amazing. I love her and all my children unconditionally," Charlie told Us through his rep, Jeff Ballard, at the time. "We're having a ball. GED here we come!" OnlyFans Disagreement After Sami turned 18, she joined OnlyFans. While Richards was supportive of the venture, Charlie shared his disappointment. "I do not condone this but since I'm unable to prevent it, I urged her to keep it classy, creative and not sacrifice her integrity," Charlie exclusively told Us in a statement in June 2022, while also noting that Sami no longer lived with him and was back with Richards. One month later, Sami shared she was unbothered by her father's disapproval. "I don't really mind, it's totally fine," she told TMZ at the time. Tough Childhood Sami has been candid about how her dad's substance abuse struggles took a toll on her at a young age. "My whole childhood, I want to say like the first 13 years, my dad was very in and out of my life," she said during an April 2025 episode of Gia Giudice's "Casual Chaos" podcast. "It was the worst if we had an event and he said he was going to show up and then we wouldn't hear from him or he would show up, like, 10 hours late. So we kind of just stopped asking him to come to stuff." Sami added that she could not recall "one memory" from her childhood when Charlie was sober. Not on Speaking Terms In April 2025, Sami claimed via social media that she had not spoken to her father in a year. "When people wonder why I haven't spoken to my dad in a year but this is my dad," she captioned a TikTok video. Hoping to Make Amends During a September 2025 appearance on Good Morning America, Charlie shared that he's hopeful to repair his relationship with Sami. "As long as everybody is still in the game, there's always a shot for a better tomorrow. I don't really know what I did, that's the problem," he reflected. "I don't know what I'm supposed to apologize for. But I have absolute faith that this is not a forever thing. Her and I will work it out." His Sobriety Inspiration Charlie recalled in his memoir, The Book of Sheen, how an incident with Sami was the wake-up call he needed to get sober. "It was December 10, 2017, and by 9 a.m. I was on my third Macallan-spiked coffee," he wrote. "My phone rang and when I picked up, it was my daughter Sam asking what time we were leaving. S***; her appointment that day had slipped my mind. I've never mixed the cups with the wheel, so I called Tony T. to come bail me out of a situation he was all too familiar with. There's reliable and then there's that dood." Charlie continued: "My man was there in twenty-two minutes, and in very short order we were on the road with 13-year-old Sam in the back seat and the two adults up front. (Well, one adult for sure). Thanks to T, the trip was handled with a combination of precision and grace." He remembered Sami being "very quiet" during the drive home. "I didn't need to be clairvoyant to know exactly what she was thinking," he penned. "Why is Dad not driving again? Why isn't it just the two of us in the car like it used to be? When will that moment ever return? When will Dad ever return? I miss him. I missed him too. There was only one thing that felt worse than betraying myself, and that was failing my children." After that moment, Charlie vowed to get better for his kids. "I knew exactly what had to be done," he wrote. "Like I've always said, life comes down to doers and talkers, and there was really nothing left for me to say - it was time to shut the f*** up and get busy doing. Sam wasn't my final straw; she was my first harvest. On December 11, I took two Valium and drank three beers. On December 12, I quit drinking for good." Following the release of his book, Sami shared her reaction to her dad's revelation and gave his documentary a "10/10" review. "I didn't know I was the reason he got sober," she said in a September 2025 TikTok.
