Despite their recent bitter custody battle over their children, Charlie Sheen and his ex-wife Brooke Mueller have shown signs of their quirky side.
The former star of Two And A Half Men and his former spouse struck a playful pose for a holiday photo, featuring bananas poking out from their mouths, which resulted in quite an unusual appearance.
It seemed as if the ex-couple were play-acting, holding the bananas like cigars and pretending to smoke them.
The two appear to be enjoying their time together so much that they are contemplating prolonging their getaway.
Charlie tweeted, ‘Forgot how much I love this place. #mexico is paradise… Brooke and I are thinking about staying for the rest of the month!!! xo c’
Although the former Two and A Half Men star has maintained that they are not rekindling their romance, he did mention on a U.S. blog that they are sharing a romantic experience.
He shared, ‘#mexico romantic weekend in Mexico… celebrating Brooke’s birthday…! can you guess where we are..? xo c’
This tweet, implying a deeper connection, follows Charlie’s insistence that they are merely ‘good friends trying to be great parents’ and are ‘working on mending the bridges, replanting scorched earth, aiming for harmony,’ he stated.
Photos from their vacation depict the former couple appearing close again; they are seen holding hands on sun loungers, sharing drinks while taking in the ocean view, and snuggling together in a hammock.
Despite recently navigating a tumultuous divorce and custody disagreements, resembling an episode of Celebrity Rehab, Charlie, 45, and Brooke, 34, traveled together on a private jet from Los Angeles on Friday.
Charlie characterized the trip as a birthday/rehab success gift for Brooke.
Their close time together comes as the couple works toward improving their relationship. Reportedly, they have taken significant measures for positive changes in their dynamic.
After their intense disputes over their two-year-old twins, Max and Bob, Charlie and Brooke have reportedly been seeking counseling and therapy with the boys. Mueller, who has faced substance addiction issues, is ‘actually responding to treatment,’ said a source.
The pair married in May 2008 and initiated divorce proceedings in 2010, nearly a year after the widely publicized incident during a Christmas trip to Aspen, Colorado, where Charlie held a knife to her throat.
‘He’s got his voice back. And I think he’s focused. He has a new show and is set for a Comedy Central roast, which I believe will be hilarious.’
‘He’s transformed,’ the Breakfast Club actor shared with host Billy Bush on Access Hollywood.
Emilio Estevez, Charlie’s older brother, discussed the sitcom actor’s recovery from addiction with U.S. entertainment show Access Hollywood last night.
They reportedly reached an agreement in June, granting both parents joint legal and physical custody of their children. The former Two And A Half Men actor has been providing $55,000 a month in child support for the twins to Mueller.
‘I truly believe he has everything together. He’s very enthusiastic about his show’s crew,’ Estevez revealed.
Additionally, Charlie has been supportive of his estranged wife in overcoming her own addiction challenges, encouraging her to follow the treatment path he took.
Brooke made two attempts to leave the U.S. for a controversial ‘extreme’ rehab program in Mexico, reportedly succeeding on her third try.
This followed her completion of a 45-day outpatient rehab stint for drug addiction.
Earlier this month, images emerged of the former actress holding what seemed to be a makeshift crack pipe.
Over the years, Brooke has undergone several rehabilitation programs, and her challenges with sobriety were documented in Paris Hilton’s reality TV series, The World According To Paris.
However, Charlie expressed concerns that this radical treatment, utilizing drugs not approved in the U.S., could endanger her life and flew in his private jet to bring her back home.
