Denise Richards lies to her kids when she is going on a date.
The former model - who has two daughters, Sam, six, and
Lola, five, with ex-husband Charlie Sheen - admitted she tells the
girls she is going on a business trip when really she is out meeting
men.
She said: "When I go on dates, I tell Sam and Lola I have a meeting."
The 39-year-old beauty also confessed she has a "soft spot" for unwell
and injured animals, and is currently looking after three canine cuties.
She added to Us magazine: "I have a three-legged dog, a blind dog and
one with terminal cancer. I have a soft spot for hard-to-place animals!"
Despite not always being truthful about her romantic liaisons, Denise
recently explained she likes to be a "hands-on" parent to Sam and Lola,
as they are always her number one priority.
She said: "I'm definitely a hands-on mom. For me it's about priorities,
and my girls always come first. I look at it as having a harmonious
house more than balancing - it's never quite balanced!
"I have a rule - I won't introduce my girls to anyone I'm dating unless it's very serious."
