Consequently, Ricci often shares pictures of her daughter on her Instagram and even refers to her as her “mini-me.”
Here’s everything we know about the celebrity kid.

In an appearance on the Ellen Show in January 2022, Ricci revealed how her daughter got her name. According to the famous actress, when she and her husband were preparing to welcome their daughter, they talked about the name Cleo. Ricci said that while Cleopatra was the name they both liked, in the beginning, she thought of holding it off for a while before going official with it.
However, according to the “Monster” actress, her husband, Hampton, excited with the name, ended up putting it on Instagram. Afterward, Ricci said the media picked it up, and before she realized it, her daughter’s name was Cleopatra. The actress told Ellen her husband went with the name while she was still recovering from childbirth. So when Ricci found out, she thought: “And so I guess so I was like, ‘Oh I guess, I guess her name is Cleopatra.'”
According to online sources, the name Cleopatra is a name for girls. The name is of Greek origin, meaning “glory of the father.” According to Nameberry, Cleopatra is “a royal name in ancient Egypt that’s never quite made it to the modern world.”
