The HIV-positive actor, who's admitted to a wild sex life with gals and guys, is currently feuding with older daughter, Sami, he spent a day with Richards and Lola on March 25 and his kid was thrilled.
"Awe dad!! I love you so much, today was so special to me," Lola commented on Sheen's Instagram post about the family outing.
Charlie Still Pining for Denise
Sami Sheen said her relationship with her dad, Charlie, has gone through long periods without communication.
Meanwhile, Sami said of their relationship: "Me and my dad haven't really spoken much in the past five months. It goes in very big chunks with him. I think for the first 13 years of my life, it was pretty bad, and then we were OK for a couple years, and now it's just, like, OK."
Sheen would love to reunite with Richards.
"He's like a puppy dog when she's around, it's obvious he wants her back," shared the insider. "He has never stopped loving her – he always says she's the one that got away."
