But now, the 40-year-old mom happens tolook hotter in a bikinithan ever before.
SELFYStars: Your memoir is about your happier times with your ex-husband, Charlie Sheen.
Why have you chosen to celebrate that moment?
What do you hope other women will learn from your memoir?
Richards: I share a lot in my memoir from when I was a child until now.
As far as my marriage, I do share the good memories but also get into my divorce.
Not the details, more the feelings.
Many women experience divorce and it is heartbreaking to go through.
I’m hoping anyone who has gone through what I did will have hope that it does get better.
SELFYStars: Is it possible to recover from a bad divorce?
And is it possible to stay friends with your ex?
Richards: I recovered from my divorce – it wasn’t easy but I got there.
SELFYStars: How has motherhood changed you, and how do you find time for yourself?
Richards: I love being a mom more than anything.
My children are the light of my life.
It’s hard to find time, but I do find moments to myself.
SELFYStars: Your bikini body is amazing, especially your abs.
Do you have any diet and exercise secrets you’ve got the option to share?
Richards: I am very active.
For me it’s Pilates and dance.
My diet is 80 percent vegetarian and I eat all day long.
I have lots of little meals; it’s best for me.
I found eating three big meals I felt too full and got tired especially after lunch.
I do splurge on ice cream and I love pretzels.
SELFYStars: Do you have any “cheat” foods that it’s possible for you to’t resist?
SELFYStars: What is it like turning 40 in Hollywood?
Do you have any projects that you’re excited about?
Richards: Turning 40 I honestly feel better than ever.
I feel more confident with my body than I did in my 20s.
I’m excited about my book and I have several branding opportunities that I’ve been working on.
And looking to find a movie again.
SELFYStars: Do you still believe in love, and would you marry again?
Richards: I absolutely believe in love and hope to be married again one day.
With that bikini bod, we doubt she’ll be single for long!
