    BEIJING, Dec. 30 (Xinhuanet) -- After being arrested on domestic violence allegations, American TV star Charlie Sheen and his wife Brooke Mueller seem to work on healing their relationship, though the future is not so bright.

   "Brooke and Charlie still love each other, but they are very different," a source close to Mueller told media Tuesday.

    The couple, who have twin sons together, "will make their best effort at counseling," the source added, "(but) divorce is definitely a possibility."

    For now, Sheen, 44, and Mueller, 32, are giving their relationship a chance. "For the good of the children they definitely want to see if counseling will help before anything further is decided," the source said.

    According to a police report, Sheen admitted that he and Mueller had been having marital problems recently and that their argument grew heated after she threatened him with divorce.

    However, he denied threatening Mueller with a knife, strangling or pushing her, as media said days ago.

    Sheen and Mueller, married in May 2008, had twin sons in April 2009.

    Sheen, famous for his roles in films "Platoon" and "Wall Street", now stars in the sitcom "Two and a Half Men" which has made him one of the highest paid actors on U.S. television.
