Christina Ricci's 2-year-old daughter is her mini-me.
Ricci's husband, Mark Hampton, took to instagram on Thursday, August 15, to share a sweet video of him and their toddler sending a message to the Yellowjackets star.
"I love you," Cleo says in the video, as Hampton encourages her what to tell Ricci. "Miss you, Mommy!" she repeats after her dad. "See you soon! Can't wait!"
"Blow kisses," Hampton instructs their daughter. The little girl — who looks identical to her mom, sharing Ricci's large brown eyes and high forehead — puckers up her lips while looking at the camera.
"Come home mommy! We love you! We're off to school :) @riccigrams," the hairstylist — who wed Ricci in October 2021 — captioned the clip.
In addition to Cleo, Ricci is also mom to 10-year-old son Freddie, whom she shares with ex-husband James Heerdegen.
While the Now and Then star rarely shares photos of her children via social media, she opened up about the challenges of being a working mom earlier this year.
Speaking to Shannen Doherty on the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum's podcast in March — several months before Doherty's death in July — Ricci explained that having to travel for work so soon after Cleo's birth made it difficult to form a bond with her youngest.
"She didn't know me, you know? We had no bond. So that was very upsetting," the Casper actress explained, noting that her children "do not like it" when she's away for work.
"Last year, I was commuting back and forth to Vancouver for Yellowjackets," Ricci said, explaining that it was not financially feasible or practical for her to bring her kids to Canada with her while she worked.
"You know, with TV, if you're a series regular, you have to pay for everything," the Casper actress shared. "Every time I go up and down, I can't pay for four people, four flights, you know, and the rooms that you would need and all … it's just too expensive to travel with everybody all the time."
However, she tries to incorporate the kids into her professional world as best as she can — particularly when it comes to Freddie, who is older.
"I think, really, the thing that I learned, especially with my son, is mixing him into my work life. Why can't he come for the weekend to a convention and see what it's like?" Ricci acknowledged.
Ricci isn't here for the catch-22 of being a working mom, she told Doherty — "You have to work to support your family, but at the same time, you working takes away time from your family" — but she's happy with how things are.
"It's difficult, but I'm in a really good place now," she told Doherty in March, praising Hampton as "a really supportive husband."
