Actor Charlie Sheen is said to be in a new relationship that has brought stability and happiness into his life, according to sources close to him.
The 60-year-old Platoon star, who has been single since becoming sober in 2017, is now reportedly dating a younger man who works outside the entertainment industry. Friends say the relationship has had a profoundly positive effect on him.
“He’s glowing. He’s calmer, grounded, and genuinely happy. This guy’s changed him,” one longtime friend told Naughty But Nice Rob podcast host Rob Shuter.
Sources say the couple met earlier this summer through mutual friends in Malibu, and their connection quickly deepened. Unlike Sheen’s previous high-profile relationships, this one is described as private and low-key. “He’s not hiding it. He’s protecting it,” the source added. “They cook, watch old movies — it’s sweet, quiet, and healthy.”
Sheen, who has been married three times—to Donna Peele, Denise Richards, and Brooke Mueller—has previously spoken openly about his past experiences with both men and women. In earlier interviews and his memoir The Book of Sheen, he described his sexuality journey as “liberating” and part of his ongoing self-acceptance.
Friends say Sheen’s new relationship marks a turning point in his personal life, with many noting that the actor seems “at peace” and focused on maintaining a healthier lifestyle.
