Christina Ricci's husband, Mark Hampton, is a makeup artist and celebrity stylist with whom she shares a daughter. Their personal life remains private with some known details to the public.

Christina Ricci was among the hard-working child stars of the '90s and one of those who survived the pitfalls of fame.

She was only nine years old when she made her on-screen debut in "Mermaids," alongside Cher and Winona Ryder. Ricci continued working on her career until landing her adult breakthrough role in "The Ice Storm."

Some of her other on-screen appearances include "Sleepy Hollow," "Saturday Night Live," "Now and Then," and "Prozac Nation."

She managed to build a successful acting career all while growing her own family with two children from different marriages.

Who Is Christina Ricci's Husband Mark Hampton?

Ricci's second husband, Mark Hampton, has a job in the entertainment industry as a makeup artist and celebrity stylist.

Besides being featured in known magazines such as Vogue, Paris, HEROINE, and Buffalo Zine, Hampton has also worked for sophisticated brands, including Banana Republic, Hugo Boss, and Jil Sander.

Hampton is also active on Instagram, with over 11,000 followers as of writing. His content usually includes beauty advice and tips on personal care and cosmetics. From the looks of it, Hampton only uses his social media platform for his profession.

On the other hand, his personal life is kept away from the public. Because of their private lives, it is unknown when Hampton and Ricci began their romantic relationship. The only public information revealed was that the actress first posted about him on July 14, 2021, as a tribute to his birthday.

Ricci described him as "[her] favorite person, gorgeous human, bringer of all things happy, magical and good." Not long after, she announced that they were expecting their first child together.

When Did Christina Ricci and Mark Hampton Get Married?

As their relationship was kept under wraps, it came as no surprise that the couple had a low-key wedding two months after their baby announcement.

Ricci announced the wonderful news on Instagram with a photo with her husband, smiling beneath an arch of roses. Her caption was short, simple, and direct to the point: "Mr. and Mrs."

Christina Ricci filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences, and requested sole physical and legal custody of her then five-year-old.

The hair professional looked dashing in a button-down shirt while the "Addams Family Values" actress donned a white collared blouse with dangling earrings. Hampton also shared the same photo on his Instagram.

How Many Kids Do Christina Ricci and Mark Hampton Have Together?

Ricci and Hampton share one beautiful daughter together, Cleopatra Ricci Hampton. Their baby, nicknamed Cleo, was born in December 2021, as announced on both parents' social media accounts.

At that time, Hampton told his followers that Ricci and Cleo were doing well and resting after welcoming the baby. Meanwhile, the actress took to her Instagram to share a cute photo of their newborn. "We are so in love with her," she wrote. "Also, she has the most incredible dad imaginable."

Nine months after giving birth, Ricci was proud to share a glimpse into her life as a second-time mom. She revealed that Cleo was already sleep trained, allowing Ricci more time for herself. She said:

"The fact that I can put her down in her crib and she just goes to sleep when my eight-year-old still sleeps with me is amazing."

Ricci is also a mom to Freddie, whom she had in her previous marriage. Recalling her first time trying to sleep train her son, he screamed at the top of his lungs and banged his head against the crib. However, Cleo only whined for a few minutes before calming down and falling asleep.

She also places her son on big brother duties, paying him to watch Clea sleep for 20 minutes. Freddie has been helpful with Cleo and can help in the bathtub and make bottles with his mom. "There hasn't been a lot of sibling jealousy or anything," she said. "That has been a huge relief."

Becoming a mom has undoubtedly changed Ricci's life, making her realize the things that mattered. After having kids, she realized that she had to take things seriously and make choices that would positively impact not just her but also her family.

Christina Ricci Was Married Before. Who Is Her Ex-husband James Heerdegen?

Ricci shares her eldest child and only son with her first husband, film cinematographer James Heerdegen. The duo first met in 2011 while on the set of "Pan Am." It wasn't until the following year that they confirmed to be a couple and got engaged in 2013.

In October of the same year, Ricci and Heerdegen exchanged their vows at the Harold Pratt House and Peterson Hall in New York City. In less than a year, they welcomed their first child, Freddie.

However, it only took a few years before troubles plagued their relationship. On January 20, 2021, Ricci's restraining order request was granted after she reportedly experienced abuse from her husband in 2019.

The actress claimed that she "feared for her life" after what her husband put her through. Christina Ricci filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences, and requested sole physical and legal custody of her then five-year-old.

Fortunately, Ricci has since moved on with her life and found love yet again in the arms of Hampton and their new daughter.
