In 2013, worried that the soil surrounding Faith's school contained contaminates, Ricky took Faith out of Malibu Middle School and put her into independent study, TMZ reported at the time.

The actor said he would be in independent study once it was deemed safe to head back to campus, adds the website. 

Ricky and Andrea wed in 1992 after meeting in Canada.  

'Ricky and I met in Canada when I was just 18 years old and he was 20,' she told Malibu Times last year.

Andrea, an interior designer who runs a candle company, went on to explain the dynamics to their relationship, adding that as opposites, they did encounter conflict. 

'Ricky and I are like one — we have grown up together. Ricky attacks life. He’s fearless, highly intelligent and super cute. I add the beautification side to the family and teach values, traditions, art, travel,' she said. 

'We are opposites, which can be extremely synergistic, but can also cause conflict so, like anything worthwhile, our marriage takes effort.' 

Andrea seemed to indicate she had returned to school in a recent Instagram post taken in France. 

The mother-of-four shared a photo of herself during a trip to Versailles in France, which she captioned, 'Life is moving so fast and there are moments when I grieve the stages of life that I used to dream about that now have passed; like getting married, having a baby, building a home, first day of school or last day of college.

She tagged the ISIPCA school, which teaches students about the perfume, cosmetics, and aroma trades.

In June, Andrea shared a photo of all four of her children overlooking a ledge in Spain, which she captioned, 'Cliff jumping.' 

Ricky commented on the image, 'We raised em right. Full of courage and kindness.'
