In 2022, Ricci explained that she and Amell are an example of opposites attracting.
Ricci’s friends and future fellowHallmark stars, Carlos and Alexa PenaVega, attended the wedding.
Amell even had the date sewn into his tux to commemorate the occasion.
As another sentimental touch, the couple exchanged bespoke rings.
“My dad’s a jeweler,” Amell explained toUs Weeklyin 2016.
“Italia’s band matches her engagement ring.
It’s slightly rounded, and there are three stones surrounding the entire thing.
Mine is just plain white gold.”
This wasn’t the first time that Amell’s father had made jewelry for Ricci.
In 2013, Amell gave his then-girlfriend a bracelet made by his father to celebrate their dating anniversary.
A year after their wedding, Ricci honored their anniversary with a heartfelt Instagram post.
“I didn’t think it could get any better.
You proved me wrong,” Ricciwroteto Amell.
Then, in April 2019, the couple humorously announced that they were expecting their first child.
Their first child, Robert Amell V, was born on September 12, 2019.
Now that they’re parents, they have a go at trade off being home with their son.
The couple also depends on a nanny for childcare and added support.
Parental responsibilities aside, Ricci is uncomfortable working or recording auditions with her husband.
“It makes me nervous because he knows I’m acting.
Instead,Amell has created successful on-screen connections with co-stars like Mae Whitmanin “The DUFF.”
In September 2023, Ricci complimented Amell’s parenting while she was on location with an acting job.
“I’m a very lucky lady,” she commented onX (formerly Twitter).
“You are amazing and I love youuuuu,” she concluded on a heartfelt note.
