Earlier this year, Ricci revealed she learned of her Emmy nomination a little late while busy recovering from a long night with her infant.
“So I overslept and my husband tried to wake me up at 8:40 to let me know I’d been nominated, but I chose to keep sleeping and then woke up later to like crazy amounts of texts and calls.”

In January, while appearing on an episode ofThe Ellen DeGeneres Show, Ricci revealed that she and herhusband miscommunicatedwhen naming their daughter.
“My husband was like, ‘Well, we’re going to give her a full name right? And the nickname is Cleo?’ And I was like, ‘Cleopatra?’ And he was like, ‘Yeah, the full name’s Cleopatra.’ And I was sort of like, ‘Fine, whatever. We’ll talk about this later,’ " she recalled.
After giving birth, however, Ricci realized she and Hampton weren’t exactly on the same page. “He got so excited he put it on Instagram, and media outlets picked up that her name was Cleopatra Ricci Hampton, and I was like, ‘Oh, I guess her name’s Cleopatra,’ " she told hostEllen DeGeneres.
