America Ferrera & Ryan Piers Williams


America Ferrera was born to Honduran parents in California. On the other hand, her husband Ryan Piers Williams is purely English but grew up in California. Their paths crossed at the University of Southern California in 2007, where Williams was an alumnus while Ferrera was then a student pursuing a degree in international studies. After working together on a short film, Ferrera and Williams became interested in dating each other and got married in 2011. Almost a decade after, the Ugly Betty actress and The Land Dry actor are still happily married with two children—Lucia and Sebastian.

Aside from building a family together, the couple has also taken their advocacies to the next level. They put up Harness, a platform that tackles racial inequality in the sectors of entertainment, business, and technology. The couple partnered with That ‘70s Show actor Wilmer Valderrama for the cause.
