She filed for a divorce in 2014 and it was finalized in 2015, but the romance between them persisted until the fall of 2016.

However, in early 2017, he committed suicide, which prompted Ricki to reveal that their marriage collapse was due to his bipolar disorder.

When he was in manic flight, he would become convinced that he was able to “ cure cancer with his hands ” or “ fly, ” she told People.

She explained that during the period following their divorce, while they were still in a relationship, “he was not stable and he was so fragile”.

Ricki, who last saw Christian just three days before his death, said: ‘But I was still in love with him so there was something romantic about it. I wanted to save him.

Although she only became official on Instagram with Ross a few months ago, they have been reportedly dating for over a year.
