After a year of dating and building the relationship, the couple married and had two daughters. Sadly, in 2005, Richards filed for divorce, and by 2006, the marriage had been legally dissolved.

Since then, they have gone through different stages -- some good and some very bad -- in their relationship. Richards has tried all these years to keep her daughters out of the bad times with her father.

Today, both have moved on with new partners and children. Their relationship as parents to their daughters has improved, and they navigate the girls' adolescence by supporting them together.

POST-DIVORCE

During those years after his divorce, Sheen went through periods where his behavior towards his ex-wife was erratic. Probably part of the problems lies in his abuse of controlled substances and alcohol.

This situation led Richards to request full custody of their daughters in her divorce application. In addition, her legal request for financial support of their daughters made things more difficult with the father.

LEGAL ISSUES

All these comings and goings to court, along with insulting messages on social media, turned Richards and her ex-husband's relationship into a war zone. During those years, she did everything possible to protect her daughters from all the scandal.

Richards recently commented that the whole situation with her daughters' father has been very unfortunate and that she fears that it has affected her daughters. It is not easy for the two girls to grow up amid these disputes and scandals.

SHE IS MOVING ON

After dating for a while, the couple married with Sheen's approval. Richards shared on an episode of "RHOBH" that Phypers chatted with Sheen before the wedding out of respect for him, as he would be the stepfather to his daughters, Sam and Lola.
