Ricci has previously spoken about the struggle of being a working mum on the late Shannon Doherty’s Let’s Be Clear podcast.

The Yellowjackets star revealed that after her son was born, her husband at the time “wouldn’t help at all”.

Ricci says she “had to do all the nighttime stuff” before having to “get up and go to work for 14 hours and be on camera”.

“The only way I could do that was to lie with him and he could breastfeed whenever he wanted,” she shared. 

“I had to have him in the bed with me just to get enough sleep to be able to work the next day.
