Ricci first revealed that she was going to become a mother for the second time back in August when she posted an ultrasound image. At the time, she wrote, "Life keeps getting better." Speaking to People in December, the actress opened up about her duties as a mother to son Freddie and said, "Usually when I’m off, I’m with my son." She added, "When I’m not working, I try to be as full-time with him as I can be. Taking him to his play dates and nursery school." Ricci was granted full custody of Freddie in April after she and her cinematographer ex Heerdegen parted ways. 

On the work front, Christina Ricci will be seen next in the highly-anticipated The Matrix Resurrections starring Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Jada Pinkett Smith, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jessica Henwick, Jonathan Groff, Neil Patrick Harris and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, which will be releasing in theatres worldwide on December 22. She is also going to make appearances in the upcoming supernatural thriller film Monstrous and is a part of the coming-of-age drama television series Yellowjackets.
