Denise Richards thinks of Chalrie Sheen 'as her Kanye,' an insider stated.
As for why Richards even moved forward with Sheen, as she had accused him of abuse and alleged he threatened to kill her in a 2006 filing for a restraining order, the insider explained it has to do with their children.
"Denise is very forgiving, and she wants to have her kids have a relationship with him," the source revealed.
"But," they added, "that's as far as it goes. Think of him as her Kanye [West]."
Bill Maher Suggested Denise Richards 'Still Loves' Charlie Sheen
Bill Maher advised Charlie Sheen that 'love is eternal.'
When Sheen recently spoke to Bill Maher, they addressed his new Netflix documentary, aka Charlie Sheen, in which Maher claimed Richards was "blubbering" when she described Sheen as "not at all what people think."
"It was nice to hear that," Sheen shared.
When Maher suggested Richards "still loves you," Sheen didn't put up a fight.
"Love is eternal. Passion is often not," Maher added.
Sheen and Richards met in 2000 and began dating in 2001. They married in 2002 and have two daughters together, Sami, 21, and Lola, 20.
In March 2005, while pregnant with Lola, Richards filed for divorce from Sheen, citing "irreconcilable differences."
While they tried to rekindle in August 2005, they ultimately separated, finalizing their divorce in November 2006.

Aaron Phypers and Denise Richards are in the throes of a bitter divorce.
Richards is currently in the thick of another divorce battle from Phypers.
While the two have been going back and forth for a while – with Richards accusing Phypers of abuse and Phypers alleging Richards of being unfaithful and having a drug problem – the most recent development saw Phypers arrested and charged with injuring his estranged wife.
According to documents obtained by a media outlet, Phypers was charged with two felony counts of injuring a spouse, and two felony counts of dissuading a witness by force or threat.
For all of the charges, his bail was set at $200,000.
Phypers' attorney, Michael Finley, claimed the arrest came due to an outstanding warrant they believed was connected to Richards' allegations of abuse against him.
He went on to accuse Richards and her legal team of "setting him up" due to possibly incriminating Phypers at court proceedings that took place prior to his arrest.
"I have not seen the criminal complaint yet, however, based upon the little that I have been told, it appears to be the same allegations we're already fighting and I think proving to be false in the domestic violence case," he said. "So, we expect it to also be proven false and for him to be exonerated."
