Denise Richards Gives Birth

By: Shannon Gossage

Richard’s publicist confirmed that the 34-year old actress gave birth Wednesday night at a Los Angeles hospital and little Lola weighed in at a healthy 6 pounds 7 ounces. Despite the fact that Richards and Sheen, 39, are currently separated, Sheen was in the delivery room. The two had reportedly said since they separated that he would be there for the birth. Richards and Sheen also have a 15-month old daughter named Sam.

The couple abruptly split in March amid rumors that Sheen had returned to his "bad boy" ways. Richards cited irreconcilable differences when she filed for divorce while nearly six-months pregnant and after nearly three years of marriage. The press had a field day pointing fingers at Sheen. The rumors ran the gamut, from Richards catching Sheen cheating on her to him returning to his famed vices of gambling and drinking. Sheen has vehemently denied any wrongdoings on his part and for now Richards is not talking.

Even though Richards and Sheen are facing divorce court the Wild Things actress has always maintained that she wanted Sheen to be close to his children. A friend of Richards said, "Denise does want him to be part of the children’s lives. She wants her kids to have a dad." Just last week, reps on both sides denied that Sheen had moved back into their Encino, California home. Who knows…maybe there is still hope for the once happy couple?! Maybe little Sam and Lola can bring them back together.
