Christina Ricci Files For Divorce After Seven Years of Marriage With Husband, James Heerdegen

Actor Cristina Ricci is putting an end to her marriage as it can be now be confirmed that she has filed for divorce from husband James Heerdegen on Thursday morning. According to TMZ, who first broke the news, Christina cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split.

She is also asking for sole legal and physical custody of their 5-year-old son. The couple has been married for nearly seven years and together since 2011.

Earlier in the month, Christina took to Instagram where she celebrated James on Father's Day weekend. "We love you, Daddy! @jamesheerdegen," she wrote online when showcasing all of her son's homemade cards.

Even though James is a Hollywood producer, he appears to live a more private life away from the camera. In fact, the couple's most recent major red carpet appearance was at the 27th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscars viewing party.

Christina and James' love story began in 2011 when they met on the set of her short-lived show Pan Am. In an interview with Net A Porter's weekly digital magazine The EDIT, Christina opened up about her family.

"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 shared with the publication. "I'm a completely different person than I was before I had my child."

Christina continued, "Because I was so celebrated for being a child, I think I held onto that immaturity for a very long time. It was the thing that made me special. Then at a certain point, like 35, it's not so special to be immature."
