In August, Ricci announced her pregnancy news on Instagram alongside an ultrasound image. "Life keeps getting better. 🎉," she shared.
Hampton, whom she wed two months after the pregnancy announcement, also shared the ultrasound images on his page, similarly captioning his announcement, "❤️🎉 Life Keeps getting better!!! 🎉❤️."
Ricci is also mom to son Freddie, 7, whom she shares with ex James Heerdegen. She previously explained to PEOPLE that she's a hands-on mom.
"Usually when I'm off, I'm with my son," she said last December. "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."
In 2016, Ricci said "having a child changed everything" for her.
"It's made everything in my life actually important and matter. I now have to take things seriously, and I never did before," she said at the time, adding, "I want to succeed for him. My choices matter more."
