Denise Richards' family unity and holiday traditions

During an interview with People Magazine, Denise Richards underlined the importance of family gatherings during the holidays. She described the excitement around their annual Easter egg hunts, a tradition cherished even as her daughters grow older.

"We love to cook and have the family together."

"For Easter, it’s always been Easter egg hunts. My older girls are a little older, but it's fun for them to see their little sister still enjoy the Easter bunny and an Easter egg hunt."

When asked about Charlie Sheen appearing in such gatherings, Richards' response was inclusive and open-hearted.

"It depends on which holiday, he's always welcome."

Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen got married in June 2002. They got divorced in November 2006 after Richards filed for divorce in 2005 while she was pregnant with their second daughter, Lola.

The actress also touched on the dynamics of her family life, particularly the relationships with her daughters—Eloise, 12, Lola, 18, and Sami, 20. After a period of living with her father, Sami has reportedly grown closer to Richards as she helped Sami set up and decorate the place she lives in.

The nature of Richards and Sheen's co-parenting relationship was further clarified with Richards adding,

"We get along. We have a good relationship."

Richards' commitment to family and community was evident as she discussed the importance of giving back, especially in light of the current escalating homeless situation in Los Angeles.

"I think it’s really wonderful to be able to give back, especially now in these times."

Her participation in providing meals, hygiene kits, candy, and other treats for unhoused and housing-insecure people in Los Angeles demonstrates her commitment to positively impacting the community.
