Charlie Sheen is playing coy about where things stand with daughter Sami Sheen after she publicly discussed their rift.
“As long as everybody is still in the game, there’s always a shot for a better tomorrow. I don’t really know what I did, that’s the problem,” Charlie, 60, shared during a Good Morning America appearance on Friday, September 5. “I don’t know what I’m supposed to apologize for. But I have absolute faith that this is not a forever thing. Her and I will work it out.”
Charlie said that his relationship with Sami, 21, is “too valuable” to destroy.
The actor shares daughters Sami and Lola, 20, with ex-wife Denise Richards. He is also a father to daughter Cassandra, 40, with ex Paula Profit and twin sons Bob and Max, 16, with ex-wife Brooke Mueller.
“We have relationships. We have legitimate ones,” he said of his kids in the same interview. “They really have nothing to do with anything that I do for a living.”

Things between Sami and her dad have been rocky for years. Fans got an inside look at the ups and downs in their father-daughter relationship when Denise Richards and Her Wild Things aired on Bravo earlier this year. (Sami also told Us Weekly exclusively in March that things were “complicated” with her dad.)
“So your dad wants to go to lunch,” Richards, 54, told Lola during an April episode. “Sami’s not gonna go because she doesn’t want to. Your dad wants to see you.”
Sami confirmed her mother’s thinking during a confessional interview.

“I would rather do literally anything else than go to lunch with my father,” she said, before explaining their relationship. “It goes in very big chunks with him, I think. For the first 13 years of my life, it was pretty bad and then we were OK for a couple of years. Now, it’s just, like, OK.”
After the episode aired, Sami shared a separate update about her relationship during an appearance on Gia Giudice’s “Casual Chaos” podcast.
“My whole childhood, I want to say like the first 13 years, my dad was very in and out of my life,” Sami said on the podcast. “It was the worst if we had an event and he said he was going to show up and then we wouldn’t hear from him or he would show up, like, 10 hours late. So we kind of just stopped asking him to come to stuff.”
