She posted the picture with Charlie Sheen captioned with a contender for understatement of the year. 

The Starship Troopers star said: 'We've had a colourful year, at the end of the day... we're still a family.'

No doubt they are hoping 2017 will be better than 2016, which saw Charlie, 51, battling his former wife through the courts to have his child support payments reduced, a matter which was finally settled last August.

The father-of-five agreed to reduced child support payments with Denise and his other ex Brooke Mueller.

Both women reportedly agreed to around $25,000 a month, nearly half of the $55,000 a month they had been previously been receiving to cover child-care costs.

The Hot Shots star was the highest paid actor on television in 2010 when he commanded $1.8 million per episode of Two And A Half Men, before his contract was terminated amid drug and alcohol abuse and a public meltdown.

Charlie is also getting ready for his big television comeback since announcing he is HIV Positive

He stars in Mad Families which follows three families, one Hispanic, another black and the other white, who end up feuding when it turns out they have all booked the same camping space over the Fourth of July weekend.
