Time for a little nostalgia! Denise Richards recently poked fun at her ex-husband Charlie Sheen via Instagram, sharing a delightful discovery — a check worth $1 million that she never cashed from over a decade ago.
Here’s what you should know:
- Denise uncovered a long-lost check from Charlie Sheen dated back in 2011.
- On October 23, she displayed the uncashed check on her Instagram Stories, sharing her playful take.
- She cheekily asked, ‘Is it still good?’ while tagging her ex.
In a quirky moment of reflection on October 23, Denise, 54, dropped an Instagram post featuring the check — a hefty amount indeed! She uploaded it with a remark about having come across it while moving: “I never cashed it, ©charliesheen. Is it still good?!”
The photo showed Sheen’s signature and Denise’s name on the “pay to the order of” line, with the sum boldly stating $1 million. It’s worth noting that the check was penned on December 24, 2011, from what she declared as “Charlie Sheen’s pocket account.”
Denise added an ideal soundtrack to her post — the classic track “Money” from Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon.
Even though personal checks typically have a six-month validity, it seems Denise and Charlie, now both in their 60s, are on friendly terms, which is heartwarming nearly 18 years after their turbulent divorce in 2006.
Recently, the former couple attended the Los Angeles premiere of Charlie’s documentary, aka Charlie Sheen, where they shared a candid hug and playful smiles for the cameras. Notably, they are parents to two lovely daughters, Sami (21) and Lola (20).
Their love story began in the early 2000s when they wed from 2002 until 2006 after meeting on the set of Good Advice. In that documentary, Denise reflects on their relationship in three distinct chapters: their courtship, the divorce, and the aftermath. Opening up, she expressed how emotional it remains, stressing the importance of maintaining a brave face for their kids following their split.
As she put it, many factors played into their story, but keeping things stable for their daughters was always a priority. Both have been open about their journey since then, candidly sharing past struggles and acknowledging growth, especially with Charlie’s sobriety since 2017.
Denise mentioned not wanting to judge Charlie on past mistakes when they first met, and while their marriage was a wild ride, she cherishes the experiences they’ve had: “Without him, I wouldn’t have Sami and Lola,” she said, emphasizing the love and laughter still present despite their challenges.
This quirky check reveal isn’t just an amusing vault from the past; it shows how humor can diffuse old tensions. Both Denise and Charlie seem to have embraced a sense of levity through everything they’ve experienced.
