Christina Ricci strikes divorce deal with James Heerdegen, agrees to drop restraining order
Christina Ricci found a second chance at love after her rocky marriage with James Heerdegen whom she married in 2013. For Ricci, it was all rainbows and roses after she met Heerdegen at the set of 'Pan Am'. However, the marriage ended in 2020 after the actress obtained a domestic violence restraining order against Heerdegen and accused him of physical abuse. In her filing, Ricci mentioned that she suffered "severe physical and emotional abuse" by Heerdegen, with "many of these acts of abuse" taking place in front of their son Freddie.
Shortly after calling it quits with Heerdegen, Ricci found solace in Hampton as the duo began dating and announced they were expecting a child in August 2021. Announcing the news, Ricci took to her Instagram and wrote, "Life keeps getting better."
Two months after this announcement, the couple tied the knot in a close-knit ceremony and soon welcomed their child Cleopatra Ricci Hampton in December 2021.
In her 2022 interview for Anna Faris' Unqualified podcast, Ricci revealed that her marriage with Mark Hampton is the first time she has felt healthy love. She said, "I would say — and this sounds really annoying and cloying and stupid — but I would say the first time I really fell in love in a healthy way is probably this marriage that I'm in now."
Ricci continued, "I think that a lot of my relationships in the past had a lot to do with unhealthy things that I was looking for. And I don't know if you can call [it] love, but I don't think things that aren't good for you should be called love." Ricci was previously engaged to comedian Owen Benjamin as well."
While it stays unclear when the couple exactly started dating, Hampton made his first appearance on Ricci's Instagram in July 2021 where she wished him happy birthday writing, "Happy Birthday @markhamptonhair favorite person, gorgeous human, bringer of all things happy, magical and good' I love you; this next year is going to be the best one yet."
