Kelly Rutherford will spend Christmas in Monaco with her children after losing custody

Kelly Rutherford is spending the holidays in Europe, where her children with ex-husband Daniel Giersch live with him in Monaco. The actress lost custody of son Hermes, 9, and daughter Helena, 6, earlier this month.

The former Gossip Girl star, 47, was photographed alone in Italy on Tuesday ahead of Christmas.

People reports when she lost custody of her kids, she was awarded a 3,000-euro stipend each month in order to travel from the U.S. to Monaco to see visit with them.

Giersch was awarded full custody of the former couple’s children in Monaco, and Rutherford is prohibited from taking them back to the U.S. to live. The judge did say the exes would have to make decisions about the kids’ “health, schooling, religious education and any change of residence” together.

To date, Rutherford has reportedly spent $1 million trying to get her kids back in the U.S. to live with her over the past several years.
