Charlie Sheen Shares He Has Not Had Sex for Almost Ten Years
Charlie Sheen is a famous actor. He starred in movies like “Platoon” and TV shows like “Two and a Half Men.” Now, at age 60, he has shared a big secret. He says he has been celibate for nearly a decade. This means he has not had sex with anyone since 2017. Sheen told this to the New York Post. It happened just before his birthday on September 3, 2025.
Sheen feels good about his life now. He has been sober for eight years. Sober means he stopped using drugs and alcohol. He links his celibacy to this change. “I am grateful,” he said. He celebrated his 60th birthday with family. No wild parties like before.
Let us look back at Sheen’s life. He was born Carlos Irwin Estévez on September 3, 1965. His dad is actor Martin Sheen. His brother is Emilio Estevez. Charlie started acting young. He appeared in films with his dad. His big break came in 1986 with “Platoon.” He played a soldier in the Vietnam War. The movie won Oscars.
Sheen became a star. He acted in “Wall Street” and “Major League.” In 2003, he joined “Two and a Half Men.” It was a hit comedy. He earned a lot of money. At one point, he was the highest-paid TV actor. He made $1.8 million per episode.
But Sheen’s life had dark sides. He had problems with drugs. He used cocaine and other substances. He partied hard. He had many girlfriends and hookups. In 2011, he had a public meltdown. He said strange things like “winning” and “tiger blood.” CBS fired him from the show. Fans were shocked.
In 2015, Sheen shared more news. He said he has HIV. HIV is a virus that can lead to AIDS. He got it years before. He paid millions to keep it secret. Some people tried to blackmail him. He went on TV to tell the truth. It was on “Today” show with Matt Lauer. “I am here to admit that I am in fact HIV positive,” he said. This changed his life.
After that, Sheen worked on his health. He took medicine for HIV. It keeps the virus under control. He can live a normal life. But he still struggled with addiction. In 2017, he hit rock bottom. He decided to get sober. No more drugs or alcohol. And no more sex.
Why celibate? Sheen says it helps him focus. He wants to be a better dad. He has five kids. His daughters are Cassandra, Sami, Lola, and twins Max and Bob. Sami and Lola are from his marriage to Denise Richards. The twins are from Brooke Mueller. Cassandra is from an earlier relationship.
Sheen talks about his kids a lot. He lives near them in California. He sees them often. “My family is everything,” he says. He regrets past mistakes. He wants to make up for lost time.
In his new book, “The Book of Sheen,” he shares more details. It is a memoir. Memoir means a book about his life. He writes about wild times. At 15, he lost his virginity. It was to a hooker in Las Vegas. He used his dad’s credit card to pay. Martin Sheen was not happy.
Sheen also tried many drugs. But one he never tried is fentanyl. It is a strong painkiller. Many people die from it. Sheen says he is lucky. He stopped before it got worse.
He talks about sex with men too. In the book, he admits some encounters. But he says he is not gay. It was during drug highs. People extorted him over this. Extort means they asked for money to keep quiet.
A documentary about Sheen is out now. It shows his life story. From fame to fall and back up. It includes interviews. Friends and family speak. It released on September 10, 2025. Sheen is honest in it.
Fans react to his celibacy news. Some are surprised. “Charlie Sheen? No sex for years?” one fan wrote online. Others support him. “Good for him. Health first,” another said. Media covers it a lot. TMZ and Page Six report it.
Sheen has no girlfriend now. He has not had one since 2017. He was married three times. First to Donna Peele in 1995. It lasted one year. Then to Denise Richards in 2002. They divorced in 2006. Last to Brooke Mueller in 2008. They split in 2011.
Richards and Sheen are friends now. They co-parent well. Richards stars in “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” She talks about Sheen sometimes. She says he is a good dad when sober.
What is Sheen doing today? He acts less. His last big role was in “Anger Management” from 2012 to 2014. Now, he does small projects. He appeared in “Bookie” in 2023. It is a comedy by Chuck Lorre. Lorre created “Two and a Half Men.”
Sheen also invests money. He has real estate. He lives a quiet life. No more scandals. He exercises and eats healthy. He takes care of his HIV.
Experts say celibacy can be good. It helps with mental health. For addicts, it avoids triggers. Triggers are things that make you want drugs. Sex was a trigger for Sheen.
Sheen inspires others. Many people fight addiction. His story shows change is possible. “If I can do it, anyone can,” he might say.
In the end, Charlie Sheen has changed a lot. From party king to sober dad. His celibacy is part of that. Nearly ten years without sex. It started in 2017. Now in 2025, he is proud. He looks to the future. More books? More shows? We will see.
This news reminds us. Fame is not everything. Health and family matter more. Sheen learned the hard way. But he learned.
