Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards are back on the red carpet!
Nearly 20 years after their tumultuous 2006 divorce, the former couple attended the Los Angeles premiere of Sheen’s new Netflix documentary, aka Charlie Sheen, on Thursday, Sept. 4.
The two-part doc — in which Sheen, 60, candidly tells the story of his career and his journey to sobriety — features interviews from his ex-wife Richards, 54, along with his third wife, Brooke Mueller, his Two and a Half Men costar Jon Cryer, his former boss Chuck Lorre and even his former drug dealer Marco.
Sheen and actress Richards posed for photos together on the red carpet and were snapped sharing a hug, as well as posing with the documentary’s director, Andrew Renzi. While Sheen wore a black tartan suit jacket, crisp white shirt and blue jeans, Richards sparkled in a sequin bandeau top and flared satin pants.

The actor and Richards, who were married from 2002-2006, last walked the red carpet together in 2005. During their relationship they were no strangers to the red carpet, attending the likes of the 2002 Golden Globes, the 2003 premiere of Scary Movie 3 and the 2005 SAG Awards.
More recently, they were last spotted together publicly when Sheen made an appearance on the April 1 episode of Richards’ Bravo reality show, Denise Richards & Her Wild Things.
The exes reunited for a dinner with their 20-year-old daughter Lola (the pair also share daughter Sami, 21), and offered a rare glimpse into their dynamic.

“You know what’s so funny?” Lola told her parents on the show. “I could never picture you guys being married. Like, sometimes I think about if you were still married and we all lived in the same house.”

“We would have had fun!” Richards replied, before tapping Sheen on the shoulder. “Right, Charles? We would’ve.”
“Sure, we would have,” Sheen agreed.
“I’m so glad we all had dinner. We should do it more often,” Richards later said, jokingly adding, “People would think we’re f—— nuts saying that.”

The release of Sheen’s documentary is coinciding with the publication of his memoir, The Book of Sheen (out Sept. 9).
“It’s not about me setting the record straight or righting all the wrongs of my past,” Sheen exclusively told PEOPLE of releasing both projects at once, adding that it was something that just happened coincidentally.

“Most of my 50s were spent apologizing to the people I hurt. I also didn’t want to write from the place of being a victim. I wasn’t, and I own everything I did. It’s just me, finally telling the stories in the way they actually happened,” he continued, joking, “The stories I can remember, anyway.”
