Back in 2017, Ricci told Net-a-Porter’s digital magazineThe Editabout howbecoming 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 said at the time. “I’m a completely different person than I was before I had my child.”

Ricciexplained to IndieWire in 2019why she chooses to keep her son’s life private and off social media.

“I had a very hard time with fame as a child, being interviewed and being asked about my life. I think that the way that I answered questions and the things I said earlier on were just, it was like somebody twisting in the wind. I was very reactive and aggressive and I acted out,” she said at the time. “No child should be held up for adults to criticize, question, interview, weigh in on. It’s the reason we don’t have pictures of our children up online. It’s the same thing.”
