As you’ve likely heard by now, Denise Richards is in the process of divorcing Aaron Phypers — and it’s getting messy. Very messy.

As in, “the cops have been called and restraining orders have been issued” messy.

Denise, of course, is no stranger to chaotic relationships, having previously been married to the King of Chaos himself, Charlie Sheen.

That relationship also ended very badly, which is why fans were so surprised to see Denise posing with Charlie on the red carpet this week.

It’s enough to make you wonder what exactly is going on in Denise’s love life.

Has she really decided to get back together with her most infamous ex? Here’s what we know:

Charlie Sheen is having a moment, and Denise is along for the ride

Charlie is making the media rounds these days to promote two very high-profile projects.

In the weeks to come, he’ll release both a memoir and a Netflix documentary about his life.

Seems like a silly strategy, as folks who just watched a doc about the man probably won’t feel the need to shell out for his book, but who are we to question the Sheenius?

The tiger-blooded warlock from Mars is a master of self-promotion, and his new projects are receiving a ton of attention at the moment, thanks in large part to Charlie’s revelation that he’s had sex with men.

Yes, Charlie says he “flipped the menu over” after years of sex with men and found the experience “liberating.” We stan a progressive king!

Anyway, Netflix held a premiere event for the documentary in Los Angeles last night.

And according to TMZ, Sheen and Richards appeared quite friendly with one another — but in a totally platonic way.

Charlie and Denise arrived separately, but they reportedly hugged and posed for pics together after they crossed paths on the red carpet.

There’s no reason to believe that they’re anything more than friends, and it seems that they’ve managed to fully patch things up following their nasty 2006 divorce.

News of the friendship doesn’t come as much of a surprise.

After all, Charlie appeared on Denise’s Bravo reality show last year.

The exes have two daughters together, Sami, 21, and Lola, 20.

However, Aaron tells TMZ that Charlie wouldn’t be buddying up to Denise if he knew her whole story:

“If Charlie knew how many of Denise’s paparazzi tip offs caused him extreme embarrassment and pain, I don’t think he’d fake a smile for a second,” he remarked to the outlet.

Regardless, it seems that after some rocky years, Charlie and Denise’s co-parenting relationship is more stable than ever.

Which is a very good thing, as Denise’s split from Aaron gets messier by the day, and she probably use all the support she can get.

Generally speaking, Hilaria Baldwin in particular and stepparents in general are not especially popular.

So Ireland Baldwin is really bucking the trend by praising her stepmom, Hilaria.

You might know Alec Baldwin’s wife for her fake accent, her tireless self-promotion, and her tendency to say really bizarre things all the time.

But Ireland says you should also know her as the coolest stepmom alive — and the person responsible for saving Alec’s life!

Ireland sings Hilaria’s praises in lengthy Instagram post

Ireland generally doesn’t talk about her personal life on social media, but she made an exception today in order to gush about Hiaria.

I” wanted to take a second to talk about my step mom @hilariabaldwin. I think if people actually knew her the way I do, they would be quite surprised,” her message began.

“This post may come out of left field since I don’t post about her or any family members much. I expect misinformed comments and plenty of comments about me only playing nice so I can secure my inheritance,” she continued, adding:

“C’mon, people. I see the comments. I’m not getting an inheritance. I have 7 siblings. These thoughts have been on my mind since I last visited her on the east coast.

“Hilaria has had a far more complex and chaotic upbringing than she lets on and I think that’s why we’ve maybe bonded in someways? She didn’t always feel safe and seen.

“Sometimes, she is too loyal to a fault. She is eccentric and totally bat shit crazy (in a fun way) but she saved my dad’s life.”

From there, Ireland went into detail about how, exactly, Hilaria pulled her dad back from the brink:

“She turned his health around and has shown him the forgiveness and kindness that he needed. She also recognizes and nourishes the parts of my father that are the most compassionate and wonderful,” she wrote, adding:

“She’s taught him that he doesn’t need to suffer inside of his own head and stay stuck in his own past. That it’s never too late to admit you need help and it’s never too late to learn to be kind to yourself.

“Hilaria is the reason I am able to have the close relationship with my father that I do. She is the reason I get to have siblings/a big family that I’ve always wanted.

“She has always respected me, accepted my flaws, embraced me, and has always shown me kindness.”

Ireland concluded her song of praise by wishing Hilaria luck on the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars.

“I met her as a teenager and I needed her as an example. I still very much look up to her now. I am so proud of her for doing Dancing With the Stars and I CANNOT wait to cheer her a-s on. She deserves this!” Ireland wrote.

“And it’s not my place to share the ins and outs, but this woman is a gem and deserves all the love.”

Not surprisingly, Hilaria promptly replied, writing:

“I’m crying. I love you with all my heart, @irelandirelandireland. These words mean so much. You mean so much to me.”

We don’t know if Hilaria will take home the Mirrorball Trophy, but clearly, she’s already winning in the stepdaughter department!
