Actress Christina Ricci, who currently stars in the TV series Yellowjackets, has announced that she is expecting her second child! Christina shared a sonogram picture to her Instagram to share the news with the caption “Life keeps getting better.”

This exciting news comes just one year after the actress, 40, split from her cinematographer husband James Heerdegen. The father of Christina’s newest addition is rumored to be celebrity hairstylist Mark Hampton. Within the same hour Christina shared her announcement post, Mark also shared an announcement. His image featured five sonogram images and his caption was the same as Christina’s: “Life Keeps getting better!!!” It’s unknown how long Christina and Mark have been an item though the Casper star has posted images of Mark on her Instagram page, most notably to celebrate his birth last month.

Christina and James, whom she filed a restraining order against following an alleged domestic battery incident earlier this year, share one child together. They are the parents of a 6-year-old son named Frederick, who frequently goes by Freddie. As of April of this year, Christina has full custody of her son, while James has some visitation rights.

Congratulations to Christina and Mark on this very exciting news! We wish them all the best as they prepare to welcome their child into the world.
