has a new lease on life now that she is nine months sober and on “fantastic” terms with ex-husband .

The 47-year-old actress, who shares twin sons Bob and Max, 15, with Sheen, 59, shared an update on the exes’ coparenting dynamic during a Wednesday, September 4, appearance on the “Hollywood Raw” podcast.

“My kids live with me full-time, but Charlie and I are neighbors. And so we talk daily … oftentimes multiple times a day,” Mueller said. “He comes over a lot. We go over there. We have a fantastic relationship, and we have this pretty unique modern family over here where Charlie and I both live.”

Mueller and Sheen were married from 2008 to 2011 and have both battled addiction in the past. Sheen’s ex-wife , to whom he was married from 2002 to 2006, had temporary custody of Mueller and Sheen’s sons from 2012 to 2013 after social workers raised concerns about Mueller’s behavior. More than a decade later, Mueller says her kids are thriving.

Mueller noted that things started to improve for Bob and Max when she moved with them to Utah in 2016 and was sober for several years.

“We had time to get some structure and consistency [and] stability, and they broke through any of their behaviors that were concerning,” she said. “Right now, they’re incredible kids.”

Mueller also shared an update on her previously complicated relationship with Richards, 53.

“Denise and I get along very, very well. … It was not always good,” she said. “The reason why our relationship wasn’t good, it didn’t have to do with Denise, it was my addiction. … And this is the devastating thing about addiction is that it affects everybody, not just the addict. I was a nightmare, really a nightmare.”
