Brooke Mueller and Charlie Sheen arrive at Generation Rescue's Event Hosted by Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey on July 19, 2008 in Los Angeles, CA.Us Magazine
"Charlie and Brooke's infant son remains in the hospital, not because of a heart condition as reported, but because he has not gained the weight necessary to leave hospital," the rep says.
"Max is expected to reach the weight requirement shortly and will join his brother [Bob] at home," the rep continues. "The Sheens appreciate the outpouring of concern but have assured everyone that both Bob and Max are fine."
"The weight issue is very common among infants who were born before reaching full term," Sheen tells Us in a statement. "I know a lot of people are not fond of hospital food' I just didn't realize they that started so young."
The couple told Us they were "thrilled" when they found out Mueller, 31, was expecting.
"She's the best stepmom Sam, Lola and Cassandra could ever hope for," Sheen told Us last October, referring to his three daughters, Sam, 5, and Lola, 3 (with ex-wife Denise Richards ), and Cassandra, 24 (with ex-girlfriend Paula Profitt).
Check out adorable photos of star babies.
Sheen, 43, met Mueller through Eric Dane and his wife Rebecca Gayhart in 2006. They wed in a small ceremony in Beverly Hills last May. It's the third marriage for the Two and a Half Men star, and the first for Mueller, a real estate agent and former actress.

AnitaKSeascape, how many children Charlie has is NOT YOUR CONCERN. He takes care of his children, feeds and clothes them, so therefore it is not any of your business! Worry about yourself and if one day you have children, then we will all ask you every personal wuestion there is and stick our noses into your business.report abuseposted April 4, 2009 8:20 PM PDT
