The absolute star of hit U.S. television sitcom "Two and a Half Men," Charlie Sheen, announced he is o become a father for the fourth time in his life. The 42-year old star is expecting a child with wife Brooke Mueller, a real estate investor, to whom he married on May 30 in Los Angeles. They exchanged wows in front of 60 close friends and relatives at a private estate. Afterwards they left for Costa Rica in their honeymoon. This is the first child they’ve had together.

"Brooke and I are thrilled!" Sheen said in a statement Monday. "She's the best step mom Sam, Lola and Cassandra could ever hope for. Seeing her love and affection with those three, I know she'll be an amazing mom. Unless I bat 100 percent, perhaps a boy awaits us."

In case you were wondering, Sam, Lola and Cassandra Jade Estevez are Sheen’s other three daughters aged 4, 3 and 23. The first two are together with ex-wife Denise Richards, and the latter with ex-girlfriend Paula Profitt. He and Richards had a horribly unfriendly divorce in 2006. Sheen and Richards are still involved in a bitter custody battle over their two daughters. The two met while shooting the movie “Good Advice” back in 2001. In March of 2005, Denise, who was six-months pregnant, filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

TV Guide named Sheen as the top paid actor on television earlier this month with $825,000 per episode.

His world wide recognized debut was in Oliver Stone’s 1986 movie, “Platoon.” He played alongside his father, Martin Sheen, in Stone’s next film, “Wall Street” in 1987.
