After dating for five years, Ferrera and actor-director Ryan got engaged in June 2010. A year later, the pair married in Chappaqua, New York, at the home of her Ugly Betty costar Vanessa, 62.
The couple went on to welcome two children together: son Sebastian in May 2018 and daughter Lucia in May 2020.
Ryan previously posted a tribute to his wife in May to celebrate her 41st birthday, writing, "Such a beautiful weekend celebrating and dancing with my Queen! Happy Birthday @americaferrera."
Ferrera was joined by her husband in her 2023 blockbuster Barbie, in which she played Gloria, a Mattel employee who meets Margot Robbie's Barbie with her daughter Sasha (Ariana Greenblatt) and is brought to Barbie Land.

Ryan had a few hilarious appearances as Gloria's husband, too busy practicing Spanish with the Duolingo app to notice his family's disappearance to the fictional Barbie neighborhood.
"We didn't tell anybody, any of our friends or family," Ferrera told PEOPLE in January 2024 of her husband's cheeky cameo. And it all started with an early Zoom call she had with Barbie director and co-writer Greta Gerwig.
"I was telling her all my favorite parts of the script and all the parts that made me laugh out loud," the Emmy winner recalled. "And I said, 'Oh my God, I laughed so hard when you cut to the dad doing his Spanish lessons,' because my husband was literally in the other room doing his Spanish lessons."
"Right away she was like, 'Oh my God, does he want to play your husband?' And I was like, 'I don't know, you'll have to ask him,' " Ferrera continued — and when Ryan said yes, "It was really fun and it a family affair, and it was great."
