Nearly three weeks after their birth, one of Charlie Sheen’s twin boys is still in the hospital but not with heart condition as previously reported in media. Read more on little Max Sheen’s below.

Baby Max Sheen has not yet been able to join his twin brother Bob at Charlie Sheen’s home in Los Angeles.

But baby Max Sheen does not have a heart condition as news outlets previously reported! But preemie Max will stay until he reaches a weight high enough to safely warrant his discharge.

Sheen’s rep confirms to E! News that Max, who along with brother Bob was born March 14, is being kept under doctors’ supervision, though not, as previously reported, due to a mystery heart ailment.

“Charlie and Brooke’s infant son Max remains in the hospital, not because of a heart condition as reported, but because he has not gained the weight necessary to leave the hospital,” Stan Rosenfield said.

“The weight issue is very common among infants who were born before reaching full term,” quipped the Two and a Half Men star. “I know a lot of people are not fond of hospital food; I just didn’t realize that they started so young.”

Rosenfield says “Max is expected to reach the weight requirement shortly and will join his brother at home.”

The Two and a Half Men actor already has three daughters from his previous wife, Denise Richards. Desperate for a son, sources said, “They must have spent around $150,000 to spin Charlie’s 43-year-old sperm until doctors were able to get a male chromosome.”

Charlie’s wife Brooke, 31, also took fertility drugs the source revealed.
