“Charlie is always invited to holiday dinners. There’s always an open door and that goes for Brooke and the boys as well,” Richards said.

“I’m always, the more the merrier,” she continued. “I want everyone to get along and everyone to be peaceful.”

The model reflected on temporarily taking in Bob and Max, now 15, when Mueller lost custody amid her substance abuse struggles.

“I’m grateful we were able to help them during that time,” Richards told the outlet.

Mueller last gave a co-parenting update in a September 2024 episode of the “Hollywood Raw” podcast, breaking down her “fantastic” dynamic with Sheen.

“My kids live with me full-time, but Charlie and I are neighbors,” Mueller explained at the time. “And so we talk daily, sometimes, oftentimes, multiple times a day. He comes over a lot. We go over there.”
