Brooke Mueller Sheen’s Simple Sweats
 WENN |
Although she’s been sick her entire first trimester, a sweats-clad Brooke Mueller Sheen managed to muster up a smile as she made her way into a medical building in Beverly Hills on Thursday.
Brooke, 31, and husband Charlie Sheen expect twin boys in April. Over the weekend, Charlie told PEOPLE,
"It’s going to be extremely different. I don’t know how to dealwith boys. But I didn’t know how to deal with girls when Ihad them either, so I guess it’s all an education."
Check out Brooke and other moms-to-be in our just-updated Who’s Due Next Gallery!

oh, i didn’t realize the twins were due in april. that would mean brooke is only 3 months pregnant in that picture. forgive my ignorance, but is it possible to not only identify the gender but also whether one is having twins at only 12 weeks gestation?
October 26th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
she barely looks pregnant, especially with twins!
October 26th, 2008 at 7:37 pm
She doesn’t look pregnant at all in this photo!
Is it normal to go outside in clothes like that in the US?
October 26th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Um yes, nothing is wrong with her outfit. She looks extremely comfortable and still very gorgeous. Jeesh..! What a comment.
October 26th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
Yes, twins can be discovered at 12 weeks but I am quite sure that the gender cannot.
This makes me wonder whether their twin boys were conceived naturally or not… It’s just interesting.
October 26th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
lol, yes, it’s normal. She’s just dressed down.
October 26th, 2008 at 7:54 pm
Broke looks beautiful and glowing even without makeup! Her mom was right…
October 26th, 2008 at 7:56 pm
That was me my first trimester when I was sick all the time…sweats! But wow she hardly looks pregnant in that picture.
October 26th, 2008 at 8:00 pm
If she is due at the beginning of April she could be 16 or 17 weeks in that photo. You can identify gender by ultrasound sometimes at 13 04 14 weeks- particularly if they are boys. Perhaps they had more invasive testing as well that would identify gender earlier. I agree she does look barely pregnant in this picture.
October 26th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
“Is it normal to go outside in clothes like that in the US?”
Sarita, i know exactly what you mean..Just curious, where are you from?
October 26th, 2008 at 8:08 pm
I am very happy for both of them, such a blessing. But I too am curious about being able to find out the sex so early? I suppose it might be possible through some sort of amniocentisis. Does anyone know anything about that?
October 26th, 2008 at 8:11 pm
You can have CVS done at 9 weeks if you have fertility treatments, that’s what my sister had done. There are rumors Charlie and Brooke may have done IVF with PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis) and that would make sense as well.
Congrats to them, Brooke is glowing.
October 26th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
I wonder if they had that gender select ivf (where they only insert only 1 gender,boys in this case during invitro)they would definently know they were boys then right?I’ve heard its really expensive for genselect but if you wanted a boy bad enough? Otherwise how could they tell the gender at 3 months?
October 26th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
wow, if they really did IVF with PGD, that’s really disappointing. is there absolutely no mystery in conceiving/pregnancy anymore?
October 26th, 2008 at 8:49 pm
April may be an adjusted due date since she’s expecting twins. Also, they do more ultrasounds with twins so she may have gotten an ultrasound just at the right time, when it had just become obvious they were boys.
October 26th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
A CVS test would also identify the gender. It’s done between 10 & 12 weeks.
Colby, there is nothing wrong with Sarita’s question. In some cultures an outfit like that may not be considered appropriate. This is an international blog, and the readers come from different cultures and provide different points of view
October 26th, 2008 at 9:41 pm
Gee, thanks Martina but I have to disagree. It’s just a very inappropriate question. I can understand if someone was walking outside with undies and a bra on but a sweat suit? Come on…It’s a no brainer.
October 26th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
martina, i agree.
actually in many European nations it is considered odd to dress down in sweats out in public. i love sweats, of course! but it is a legitimate question.
October 26th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
Colby, Sarita was asking a legitimate question, especially since she doesn’t live in the U.S. When I was abroad in Europe for several months, I never saw a single person go out in public in sweats/pj’s. People always put in an effort to wear real clothes. So, I can see how Sarita would be a little baffled at Brooke’s outfit.
And, of all of the comments I have seen on this site, Sarita’s question was the least controversial. And, it definitely wasn’t inappropriate, especially given the cultural context.
October 26th, 2008 at 10:15 pm
I also see nothing wrong with Sarita’s question. There was no attack – she didn’t say “Is that normal in the US? It looks sooo ugly – I would never wear that!” or something. She was just wondering. I too remember being abroad in Europe and feeling quite confused with the difference in (most, not all) appearances that I noticed between the US and UK. I’m frequently a sweats girl myself, and in NO WAY found the question to be “inappropriate.”
October 26th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
From my own experience, I found out that I was pregnant with twins @ 6 weeks. The only reason that I found out so early is because I had miscarried 9 months earlier & the doctor wanted to make sure everything looked ok so an ultrasound was ordered.
As far as the gender goes – boys are easier to see earlier & I’m sure that there is some type of test that can be done to tell.
I wish them nothing but good fortune
October 26th, 2008 at 10:37 pm
I don’t think that Brooke and Charlie did IVF. My husband and I found out the sex of our twins at 13 weeks… It doesn’t really matter anyway. All that matters is that they’re happy and from the way that Brooke is glowing, I think they’re pretty darn happy!
October 26th, 2008 at 10:41 pm
I agree with Colby. I could see that Sarita said that in a condescending manner. Please note she said “normal”, not “common”. It is obviously not abnormal to step out in sweats. Perhaps rare in some countries.
October 26th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
Btw, I am originally from Europe, and believe me, stepping out in sweats (to go to the local store or run short errands) is actually quite common.
October 26th, 2008 at 11:19 pm
Thanks Anna!
October 27th, 2008 at 12:22 am
I disagree. Abnormal no, common, absolutely not.
October 27th, 2008 at 12:53 am
Anna – Wow, last time I checked , Europe was pretty huge… It all depends on what country and/or what culture you’re from. It’s common with sweats here in Sweden. Though it seems as though the “trend” mostly affects fourteen year old girls.
And regarding normal vs common… please, if english is not your native tongue, shit happens sometimes.
October 27th, 2008 at 12:56 am
I’m guessing the boys will be identical cuties.
October 27th, 2008 at 12:57 am
weird. I feel like she’s looked more pregnant in other photos. But she barely looks it at all in this one.
As for Sarita’s question…how was that condescending? It’s a question, and a valid one, if you’re possibly from another country where you might not see that a lot. Or at all. People interchange normal and common all the time…doesn’t mean anything.
October 27th, 2008 at 3:38 am
Oh my gosh, I cant believe whats been covered in this post…
* At what stage you can tell the babies sex.
*The possibilty they underwent IVF.
* Cultural differences.
* How small she looks for being due in April.
* Common attire for people in Europe to step out in.
** And in between all of this- people swaring and disagreeing with each other on whether a question is rude or not!
All of this from one photo!! LOL.
October 27th, 2008 at 3:38 am
I think Sarita’s question was just her genuinely inquiring. No reason to round up on her.
As for it being common in Europe….well, perhaps in certain parts but not all of them. I’m from Ireland and it was not common in the part I was from. I have lived in France and Spain. Again, not common there. I now live in Belgium and work in The Netherlands. Common there? Nope. It’s skirts/jeans and boots for all the girls here it seems.
October 27th, 2008 at 4:50 am
Sorry but I wasn’t aware that an internet typed reply could be condescending. How can you tell if there was a tone when it is typed lol.
Brooke looks great I hope her sickness has passed
October 27th, 2008 at 4:53 am
“actually in many European nations it is considered odd to dress down in sweats out in public”
mmhhh…where in Europe? I live in Italy and YES is normal to go out dress in sweats, i do! specially now that i’m pregnant…I’ve being in France and Spain also, and there you see lot’s of people dress like Brooke, so i really don’t understand Sarita’s question.
If she is due in april she can be 15, 16 weeks…I’m due in late april and i’m 14 weeks, maybe she is due in early april.
October 27th, 2008 at 5:07 am
UK girl here, tracksuit bottoms and tops are very normal. In fact, I am about to go out shopping and am wearing a set of Adidas’ finest lol. There was nothing wrong with the original question though, not rude at all. Brooke looks great!
October 27th, 2008 at 5:42 am
Wow, I honestly meant no harm in my question! I’m from the Netherlands and we don’t go outside in sweats here (at least the people I know), I was just wondering because I have seen it before and thought this might be a good place to ask. I wish it was normal here, seems very comfy!
I didn’t mean anything by using the word normal, English is not my first language so sometimes nuances get lost in translation. Thanks to the people understanding what I meant.
October 27th, 2008 at 5:59 am
Hea, I agree. I think it all depends where in Europe you live. I’m from Germany and walking around in sweats is totally not common.
I lived in North America for a couple months and found the attitude to dressing in public really different to what I’m used in Germany. Fo me Sarita’s question is understandable.
October 27th, 2008 at 7:19 am
A friend of mine is due end of March and about 19 or 20 weeks so if Brooke could be anywhere from 15-19 weeks which is completely early enough to find out about twins and their sex. My sister had u/s every other appointment with her twins to watch growth and everything. She found out one was a boy at 16 weeks and the other around 23 weeks b/c he was stubborn the first time.
October 27th, 2008 at 7:36 am
Thanks Carie and thanks Hea from Sweden. Poor Sarita and all the others who use English as “a lingua franca” and are not familiar with the fine differences. I actually didn’t notice the difference between “normal” and “common” as Carie has just pointed out. You know why the trend mostly affects girls in their teens (in Europe) – because they copy the outfits of Paris Hilton and others who made the “stepping out in (expensive juicy couture) sweats” sociable. I would not go out like this unless I intended to work out or go for a run. Or probably had to stay in a hospital for a while
That’s when you dress like this in Germany.
October 27th, 2008 at 7:48 am
Anna, as I am sure you know, Europe is not just one big country. So, obviously trends in your country and Sarita’s are bound to be different. And apparently in the country Sarita is from, it is not common to where sweats in public. Living in London, I never saw people going out in sweats. It just did not really happen. So, I completely get her question.
And normal v. common?? Please, that’s just being nit picky. Those words are interchanged all the time.
October 27th, 2008 at 8:24 am
Gender *can* be determined that early without CVS or amnio. It’s not common for sure (best chance to find 16-20 weeks), but it’s possible if the baby is a boy. If the baby is a girl, doc reading it may not be as sure in case the male organs were just hard to make out. One of my friends found out at 12 weeks from an u/s; her husband is a doctor and he used her for a class to teach medical students on how to do an u/s.
October 27th, 2008 at 9:50 am
when I had my son I was due in April and I found out the sex on Nov. 7th. She probably got pregnant like I did in July.
October 27th, 2008 at 9:52 am
Sarita, I really like the way you dress here. It’s practical for cycling, at least. I’ve had to stop wearing my beloved pumps now that I’m using my bike each day! Jouw engels is heel goed, meer dan mijn nederlands!
October 27th, 2008 at 10:25 am
I understand where Sarita’s coming from. I’m from the Dominican Republic, but I’m studying in the US, and back home, it is completely inappropriate to go out in sweats or flip flops, but here, students go to class in PJ’s!! But Brooke does look quite comfy.
October 27th, 2008 at 10:49 am
sil, I don’t live in Italy, so I might be wrong, but I’ve travelled it quite a few times (Bologna, Tuscany, Rome) and my perception of the women there (especially Brooke’s age and younger) was that they would rather be caught dead than wearing sweats from head to toe, LOL. The same goes for France and Spain. Maybe it’s different with pregnant woman. Or it’s just everybody’s own perception of what we seem appropriate wearing to a doctor’s appointment
.
As for what topics this one photo hasn’t covered or not, photos and tidbits of interviews are all we have to keep the comment section alive, so I don’t really see what’s wrong with it.
October 27th, 2008 at 11:46 am
L, Je Nederlands ziet er goed uit hoor
Massiel, pajamas to school sounds so comfy! Maybe some day I will also feel comfortable wearing sweats outside the house, probably when I’m pregnant!
October 27th, 2008 at 11:56 am
She looks fine, at least it all matches.
October 27th, 2008 at 11:58 am
Lilith, i understand that travelling as a turist is a lot different than living here, i mean is obvious i don’t go to a restaurant or the movies in sweats, but if i take my daughter to the park, or go to the supermarket, or pick her from school….i do wear sweats and so do the other moms, not just the pregnant ones
Anyway, i think it depends what kind of sweats you wear, if they look like pj’s maybe is not that nice, but there are some sweats that can cost like 100 euros and are very nice…Well, is just my opinion
October 27th, 2008 at 1:03 pm
I’m actually quite saddened by the response to Sarita’s question. I have a pretty diverse friend group….A large # of friends from India and Pakistan, and from some pretty small villages in those countries, as well. The attire in this pic would not have been seen in their countries. Now they’re in the U.S., they’re used to it. But it saddens me that people are so narrow-minded that they would #1 nitpick the words normal and common and #2 attack someone from another country asking a legitimate question. Before my friends’ moved here, they would have had the same thought as Sarita….what an unwelcoming forum this sometimes is. That’s all I can say.
October 28th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
Back to the reason for this photo…she is having 2 boys. Didn’t Charlie Sheen kick the crap out of Denise Richards (or something like that) because she had 2 girls & he wanted boys??? I could see them “making sure” that Brooke’s babies are boys!
