Charlie Sheen has claimed he is a ‘single father’ to his twin sons and that their mother Brooke Mueller is ‘not in the picture too much right now.’
Sheen, 58, who will mark six years of sobriety next month, welcomed Bob and Max with Mueller, 46, in 2009 during their turbulent three year marriage from 2008-2011.
He told People: ‘I’ve mostly been raising my 14-year-old boys. Their mom has been trying to figure some stuff out on her end, so she’s not in the picture too much right now.
DailyMail.com has contacted a representative for Brooke Mueller for comment. Her representative declined to comment to People.
Sheen and Mueller only recently resolved their years-long child support case after Charlie had filed a request to pay less to his children in 2018.

They had a rocky relationship as both had well-documented struggles with addiction.
Charlie also pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault over a domestic dispute between the pair in December 2009.
Brooke claimed to police that the actor had held a knife to her throat and threatened her but she later tried to recant her statement.
A protective order was put in place and Charlie pleaded guilty to a reduced charge that would keep him out of jail.
AP reported at the time that Charlie was sentenced to 30 days in rehab, 30 days of probation and 36 hours of anger management.
A year later, the couple split. Months later, the actor engaged in a series of now infamous public meltdowns in early 2011 that led to him being fired from the his hit sitcom Two And A Half Men.
The former couple came to a custody agreement in 2011 and finalized their divorce shortly after.
But Brooke allegedly created an ‘unsafe’ environment for the twins and they were removed from her home in 2013.

Charlie’s ex-wife Denise Richards became their legal guardian while Brooke re-entered rehab for the 21st time.
But after a year, the Wild Things star wrote to the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) to inform them that she could no longer look after the boys because of their alleged violent outbursts towards her daughters and dogs, as per TMZ.
In 2019, Brooke checked herself into a rehab facility once again and Charlie began co-parenting the twins with his and the actress’ parents.
Charlie commented to The Blast about Brooke being in rehab, saying that their twin sons were well-cared for between him and their grandparents.
‘Brooke is currently tucked away, (yet again!) for the umpteen billionth time, seeking the help she needs,’ Sheen told the outlet.
‘Between myself, and the boys’ two amazing sets of Grandparents, we continue to seamlessly love shelter and protect Bob and Max, from the haphazard choices and unsightly behavior their mom refuses to extinguish once and for all.’
Sheen said that ‘these wonderful boys need their mom … and hopefully one day soon, they will finally have one … until then, on every front we got this.’
Sheen now refers to his struggle with drugs and alcohol during that period as his ‘possession’.

‘For a while, there wasn’t much about my life to complain about,’ Sheen described his life before the infamous meltdown. ‘I lived a life where people were really happy when I showed up, and they were sad when I left.
‘That went away when everything turned to s***,’ he continued. ‘It turned into, “Oh, God. Here he comes,” and then “Is he gone? Good.”‘
He also admitted he felt ‘shame’ for his past behavior, but the opportunity to reconcile with Lorre comes as a form of redemption.
‘It’s one of those things that is so surreal that I keep hearing Al Michael’s famous hockey call: “Do you believe in miracles?!'”It’s a trip.
‘When I won a Golden Globe for Spin City, the last place I expected to be was at that podium and I said, “This feels like a sober acid trip.'”And I think that quote rings true for what I’m going through with this experience.’
The star is also father to daughters Sami, 19, and Lola, 18 with ex-wife Denise Richards and Cassandra, 39, with former girlfriend Paula Speert.
Sheen recently revealed he quit drinking one day after breaking a promise to his young daughter to take her to an appointment in an emotional new interview.
The actor detailed how at the height of his alcohol addiction he would put ‘scotch in his coffee’ and how his early morning drinking meant he let his daughter down which ‘broke his heart’.
He told People of the 2017 moment: ‘I loved drinking in the morning. Loved some scotch in the coffee.
‘One morning I’d forgotten my daughter had an appointment I’d promised to drive her to, and I’d already had a couple of pops that day.
‘So had to call my friend Tony to take us. We got her there on time, but it broke my heart because she was in the backseat and I could just tell she was thinking, “Why isn’t dad driving?” So I got home and sat with that for the rest of the day. And the next morning I just stopped.’
The star – who has also previously battled drug addiction – said he gave himself a month to see if he saw improvements from going teetotal – which gave him ‘instant evidence that this was the side I needed to be on. I couldn’t be in denial about it anymore.’
The star said he now has a ‘very consistent’ lifestyle as he raises his 14-year-old twin sons Bob and Max as a single father. He shares the boys with ex-wife Brooke Mueller.
The actor said he now wakes up early at ‘around 4.30am or 5am’ to workout and answer emails, then gets his children up.
