Denise and her daughters struck a heartwarming pose for the People magazine cover titled “Our Family’s Wild Ride.” In the image, Denise is seated at the center, radiating warmth as she is surrounded by her three daughters.
Her youngest, Eloise, sits close by on the left, nestled near her leg. Behind Denise, Lola poses slightly to the left, while Sami takes her position behind her on the right. Together, they all share bright smiles, capturing a moment of unity and love.
Fans had plenty to say after seeing Denise Richards and her daughters on the magazine cover, with most of their comments directed at the older daughter, Sami. Some couldn’t help but comment on her appearance, with one remarking, “Oldest daughter already has work done and now looks 50.”
Yet another fan speculated about cosmetic enhancements, “Her daughter to the right looks like she already had plastic surgery.” An individual expressed disbelief, “Sami looks older than Denise. Yikes. 😳” More people concurred, “One of her daughters looks older than she does….hmmm.”
One observer pointed out the magazine’s move, “I like that the article had to add the arrow to show who was the mom because the oldest looks older than her..lol.” Other fans were quick to note the strong family resemblance, “The oldest one has Charlie Sheen’s whole face.”
Some fans focused on Lola’s striking features, with one remarking, “That blonde one must be Charlie Sheen’s twin.” Another fan concurred, “That sweet blonde is so beautiful looks just like her daddy.”
One observant user analyzed the picture, “The daughter on the right looks like Denise with Charlie’s attitude. The one on the left looks like Charlie with Denise attitude.”
Denise shares her two daughters, Sami, 20, and Lola, 19, with her first husband Charlie Sheen. She adopted her youngest daughter, Eloise, 13, as an infant in 2019. “It wasn’t even a decision. It is just is. She’s a sweetheart. I love her. I think of her as my own,” says Richards. Eloise has a chromosomal disorder that has caused some developmental delays.
Still, she shares a close bond with her sisters. Their mom noted, “Eloise is very observant and understands everything. Sometimes when the girls go at each other, she just raises her eyebrows and then they laugh and can get past whatever stupid thing they’re fighting about.”
The four are now excited to begin this new journey of showcasing their life on a reality show. They will be joined by Denise’s current husband, Aaron Phypers. “We’re just trying to be ourselves because that’s how I’ve always approached reality for better or worse,” shared Denise.
Sami also chimed in, “I’ve always said we need a reality show. Anything that went wrong or happened in our family, I would say, ‘Where are the cameras? We need to be filming this.'” Viewers should expect to see lots of drama, including sisterly squabbles. They will also learn how different the sisters are.
For instance, Lola Sheen was recently baptized in the Christian church while Sami has an OnlyFans account. “I love her. We are just walking in completely different paths and that’s okay,” Lola said of Sami. Denise also agreed that Sami and Lola are “complete opposites” as much as they have lots of similarities that they do not pay attention to.
“They’re so straight and dry, and they’re not trying to be funny, but the [expletive] that comes out of their mouth[s] to each other is really funny. Lola has such an innocence about her, and Sami gets so annoyed by it, and they know how to push each other’s buttons,” Denise divulged.
Both Sami and Lola have shed light on their different journeys. Lola opened up about battling mental health issues from dealing with the pressure of having famous parents. Sami Sheen added to the conversation noting that having famous parents has its pros and cons.
The 20-year-old mentioned that they got to experience amazing things that normal people may not have the opportunity to enjoy. On the other hand, they had to deal with an invasion of privacy and couldn’t do some things ordinary people could do.
Lola also opened up about her faith and getting baptized, divulging that her encounter with Jesus happened when she was struggling with her mental health. She noted that Jesus rewired her mind and her thinking, becoming her savior and best friend.
Eventually, she started going to church and building a Christian community. As she was in church, her pastor spoke of baptism and she immediately made a choice that she wanted to be baptized. Two weeks later, she was baptized.
This was her second baptism as she was baptized as a child but she made it clear that during her first baptism, she didn’t know Jesus. Hence, her second one was special as she was aware of her Christian journey.
Aside from Lola and Sami, Denise also delved into Eloise’s life and the relationship she has with her sisters. “They feel that I had her, that’s their sister. So they have a wonderful relationship with her,” she revealed.
The mom of three added that Eloise is a joyful kid, whom everyone loves being around, especially her siblings, who treat her wonderfully.
The actress has also learned a lot from Eloise, including how to enjoy the simple things in life such as taking time to smell the roses. “She just loves everything, and she just embraces it and is just so happy,” Denise enthused.
Eloise’s siblings see her joy too and sometimes when they are fighting, just her presence and how she looks at them helps Sami and Lola get over their conflicts quickly.
In regards to her daughters’ father, Denise notes that they are in a good place, adding that he has always been supportive of her. When Charlie, who’s been sober since 2017, saw the trailer of his ex-wife’s reality show, he sent her a lovely and positive text. “I was actually really surprised. It meant a lot to me,” Denise admitted.

Denise added that when she and Charlie parted ways in 2005, it hit her oldest daughters hard but she did her best to shield them. “There were times they were upset with me, but I tell them there’s no handbook. I did the best I could under the circumstances,” said Denise.
Now, “Denise Richards & The Wild Things” will showcase her attempt to balance being an actress, a wife, and a mom to her three daughters. The reality show is described as a “half-hour comedic docuseries,” that shows the actress and her kids’ “unpredictable family life in Los Angeles.”
In the trailer for the show, she notes that these responsibilities do not come with a handbook. “People think it gets so much easier when they’re older; it gets harder,” she announces.
Its March 4 premiere on Bravo will have two back-to-back half-hour episodes at 9 p.m. ET and then from March 18, the series will air one half-hour episode every week. Fans of Denise and her family can expect to get to know them more via this much-awaited reality show.
