"Three exes and five kids might not sound like the makings of one big happy family, but according to Denise Richards, that&amp;apos;s exactly what she has with ex-husband Charlie Sheen and his ex-wife Brooke Mueller.\r\nOn Wednesday, Dec. 19, the 41-year-old actress opened up to Access Hollywood about the trio&amp;apos;s somewhat unconventional family dynamic, noting that she recently helped care for Sheen and Mueller&amp;apos;s 3-year-old twin sons, Bob and Max, while her ex&amp;apos;s ex was reportedly in rehab. (Earlier this month, TMZ claimed that Sheen&amp;apos;s third wife had overdosed on Adderall and was seeking treatment for addiction to the psycho-stimulant.)\r\nPHOTOS: Hollywood&amp;apos;s friendliest exes\r\n&amp;quot;This is not the first time I&amp;apos;ve had all five [kids],&amp;quot; Richards said, referring to the twins, as well as her two daughters with Sheen -- Sam, 8, and Lola, 7 -- and her newly adopted daughter, Eloise, 18 months. &amp;quot;Brooke knows, and Charlie, that anytime they need help with the boys, I&amp;apos;m there.&amp;quot;\r\nThe star, who was married to Sheen from 2002 to 2006, admitted that their arrangement was slightly unusual but said it was important for the kids -- all five of them -- to grow up together.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;They&amp;apos;re our family, and they&amp;apos;re Sam and Lola&amp;apos;s brothers,&amp;quot; she explained of the twins. &amp;quot;I can&amp;apos;t imagine growing up without my sister, so anytime [Brooke] needs help, I&amp;apos;m there for the boys. [Sam and Lola] are the best big sisters to [the boys], and they love them.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;I know it doesn&amp;apos;t seem normal,&amp;quot; she continued, &amp;quot;but it is our normal.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nIndeed, the exes seem to have redefined what it means to be on good terms after a divorce. Earlier this year, Richards told Rolling Stone that she and Sheen &amp;quot;are like best friends now. Confidants. He tells me everything.&amp;quot; And in August, she threw a birthday party for her ex-husband&amp;apos;s ex-wife at her home in Beverly Hills.\r\n&amp;quot;Ex-wife No. 2 (me) is having ex-wife No. 3&amp;apos;s (Brooke) birthday party at my house,&amp;quot; the Madea&amp;apos;s Witness Protection actress tweeted. &amp;quot;Oh, and our ex-husband will be here. How&amp;apos;s your Sunday?&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
