Christina Ricci poses for rare pH๏τo with husband and kids as she receives star on Hollywood Walk Of Fame

Christina Ricci does not often take her husband and two children on a red carpet, but she did so on Thursday.

The former child star was receiving her star on the Hollywood walk of fame.

The 45-year-old Mermaid star’s current husband is Mark Hampton, and they have a daughter named Cleopatra, three.

She also has a son named Freddie, 10, from her previous marriage to James Heerdegen which ended in a nasty divorce.

Ricci looked elegant in an all black outfit with pointy stiletto heels as her dark hair was worn stick straight and down. Her spouse was dapper in a dark jacket over a pale blue shirt with jeans and polished black shoes.

Freddie wore a dark jacket and shirt with jeans and tennis shoes. Cute Cleopatra had on a black top with white slacks and Vans sneakers.

The Addams Family actress and the hairstylist went Instagram official in July 2021.

They then wed in October of the same year and welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Cleo, that December.

She has called him ‘the absolute love of my life.’

‘Makes me cry thinking about how wonderful you are and how lucky we all are to get to be in your life,’ she captioned a pH๏τo of them in a tropical location. 

‘The amount of love, kindness, warmth and joy you have brought is hard to believe and I am so grateful you were born!!!!!’

Hampton is a celebrity hairstylist who has worked for brands like Hugo Boss and Banana Republic, and styled celebrities’ hair, including Diane Kruger, Natalie Dormer and Ricci. 

Hampton grew up in Caerphilly, Wales, with his parents and two sisters. He told Wales Online that he left his hometown when he was 16 to start his apprenticeship job in Cardiff.

He moved to London, where he worked for 11 years before eventually moving to New York City.

Also at the Walk Of Fame Ceremony were several of Ricci’s Yellowjackets costars.

Meanwhile, Ricci’s son wants to become an actor.

The actress believes her son ‘would be a very good actor’ – but Christina has joked that she’s too busy to support his ambitions.

The Hollywood star joked on ‘Today’: ‘My son Freddie likes to come to set. He’s been on the set of ‘Yellowjackets’ quite a lot. He has his own chair. He’s been on set quite a lot and every time he’s on set, he asks me if he can be a child actor.

‘And I’m like, ‘Who’s going to take you because I have to work?’ So, no. Because I’m like, ‘Who’s going to go with you? I can’t go with you.’

‘But I think he would be a very good actor. He’s very good at tricking me into things, you know, deception.’

Christina first found fame as a child, starring in movies like ‘The Addams Family’ and ‘Casper’.

But the actress previously suggested that childhood stardom made her ‘obnoxious’.

She told the ‘Reign with Josh Smith’ podcast: ‘Some people deal better with fame than other people and some people have more supportive families than other people. 

‘And I do think that having a ‘famous child’ is a weird pressure to put on a child.

‘I think it’s – and I always thought this when I was younger – when being asked questions about who I was before I knew who I was, I knew that that was not helpful as a kid, which is probably why I was so obnoxious in interviews all the time…

‘I find it interesting because anytime I do work with someone who has been a child actor, they are the most professional people on set. 

‘They are the people that understand the sacrifices that are going to have to be made. They’re always the most prepared, they’re always the most adaptable, as far as working with them.’
