Christina Ricci Is Engaged!

It might not come as a total shock, but it’s confirmation, at least.

“Addams Family” star Christina Ricci was spotted in October sporting something shiny on an important finger, but remained mum. Now, she is finally admitting that yes, that ring does in fact signify that she is engaged.

She acknowledged it to Us Weekly at a Make Up For Ever demo at the Grove in Los Angeles, where she was introducing a limited edition bag she helped to design. When asked if she had gotten engaged to boyfriend James Heerdegen, the “Bel Ami” actress said, “a couple months back.”

Ricci and Heerdegen met on the set of the ill-fated ABC series “Pan Am,” where Heerdegen worked dolly grip. The two went public with their relationship last February.

This will be Ricci’s first marriage, but the 32-year-old was briefly engaged a few years back to “Sullivan & Son” actor Owen Benjamin.

So what’s next for Ricci?

She will be appearing in the “Smurfs” sequel, due out next summer, and starring alongside Sharon Stone, Susan Sarandon, Laura Dern and Andie MacDowell in “Mother’s Day,” hitting theaters later this year.

And then, a brief respite. Ricci says she will be taking a break from acting… will this hiatus involve some serious wedding planning?

"I worked so much last year that I just really wanted to have some time off to just kind of live," she said. "You kind of need to take time to be a real person.”

 Congratulations to Ricci and to Heerdegen on their engagement!
