Lola Sheen says she ‘begged’ mom Denise Richards to ‘end up’ with ex Patrick Muldoon

Lola Sheen revealed that she “begged” her mom, Denise Richards, to get back together with her onetime flame Patrick Muldoon, in an emotional tribute to the late actor.

“I thought you were the one that was supposed be in our lives forever. when i think of my childhood i think of you pat, and it’s gonna be so weird to go on without you in our lives,” Sheen wrote via Instagram Monday.

“You were such a huge part of our family and life will never feel the same, but that’s just because of how much you impacted us. thank you for showing everyone around you how to be alive,” she continued.

The 20-year-old reminisced about a family trip they took with Muldoon — who remained extremely close with Richards even after their breakup — recalling how he made her “laugh so hard” by singing a song called “Lola.”

“I will really miss hearing my mom laugh on the phone with you. your voice always brightened my day and i’m gonna miss hearing it but i know my mom will more, but we will never stop talking about you,” Sheen continued, thanking the “Melrose Place” alum for being her mom’s “best friend.”

“Thank you for being the one to make her laugh and forget about all she’s going through. that was a gift you had. the bond you two had was something so special, that no one can touch.”

“When i think of my mom i think of you. you guys came as a package and i’m so thankful i got to know you and witness a friendship so pure and special in front of my eyes.”

At the conclusion of the touching tribute, Lola — whose father is Richards’ ex-husband Charlie Sheen — revealed that it was Muldoon whom she always imagined her mom ending up with.

“I always begged my mom i’m sure she told you that you guys would end up back together haha, but i guess staying best friends was better anyways ♥️ you really were a rockstar pat, and forever will be. have fun up there i know you will. love you.”

The “Days of Our Lives” alum died on Sunday following a sudden heart attack. He was 57.

He spent his final morning with his partner, Miriam Rothbart, who heartbreakingly found him unconscious on the bathroom floor, per TMZ.

Though paramedics were called, Muldoon was pronounced dead on the scene.

Muldoon and Richards, 55, shared such a “deep friendship,” that the latter felt obligated to cut him out of her life during her tumultuous marriage to Sheen.

“I did not speak to Pat when I was married to Charlie,” Richards said on a 2025 episode of her reality show “Denise Richards & Her Wild Things.”

“It was hard because I didn’t want to lose him as a ‘friend’ friend. But, towards the end of the marriage, I talked to him all the time about him,” she explained, adding Sheen had a “hard time” dealing with her and Muldoon’s relationship.

She married Sheen, 60, in 2002 and parted ways in 2006 after welcoming daughters Sami, 21, and Lola.

During that same episode, Sami even claimed there were still sparks between Muldoon and Richards when the exes reconnected on the set of Richards’ music video — though the “Wild Things” star was with estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, at the time.

“I don’t want to get him in trouble, but I feel like he might still have feelings for my mom,” she teased while hanging out on the set of the video, noting they “have like 30 years of history.”

Richards has yet to publicly speak out on Muldoon’s passing.
