Surprise! Christina Ricci, 41, reveals she’s having a baby… one year after filing for divorce from husband James Heerdegen
In April this year, Ricci and her estranged husband reached a custody arrangement after their contentious split prompted accusations of abuse from both sides.
The arrangement was submitted to the Los Angeles County Superior Court in May, according to reports at the time.
The agreement favored Ricci, allowing the actress custody of their son after she relocates to Vancouver, Canada to film a new project, with Heerdegen getting visitation rights.
Ricci also agreed to pay ‘reasonable costs for travel and accommodations,’ which include ‘economy airfare’ for her ex. She will also get to choose where he stays during his visitation trips.
The expectant mom was granted a restraining order against Heerdegen in January. He attempted to obtain his own restraining order later that month but was denied.
Heerdegen made shocking accusations while filing for a temporary restraining order, claiming his ex abuses alcohol and prescription drugs, making her a danger to their young son.

He also claimed he had to check their son’s bottles of breast milk for fear of it being contaminated with alcohol she drank the night before.
His filing came just days after Ricci accused him of physically abusing her.
She said she had to hide knives in the house because she feared Heerdegen could kill her after he allegedly said he would only feel sorry for her if she was ‘dismembered into small pieces’.
A judge granted Ricci a domestic violence restraining order against Heerdegen in early January, six months after she filed for divorce.
Ricci and Heerdegen were married on October 26, 2013, they welcomed their son together the following year.
In 2017, Ricci talked about how becoming a mother changed her.
‘Marriage shows you your flaws in how you deal with things, and having a child forces you to grow up at the speed of light,’ she told Net-a-Porter’s digital magazine The Edit.
‘I’m a completely different person than I was before I had my child.’
