America Ferrera Gets Engaged to Longtime Boyfriend

America Ferrera shows off her engagement ring has gotten engaged to her boyfriend Ryan Piers Williams.

The star’s spokesperson confirmed the news after America was seen wearing a ring on her engagement finger at the Edinburgh Film Festival on Wednesday. The actress has been living with Ryan - who is a film director and is currently working with producer Steven Soderbergh - for three years. They met at the University of Southern California when he cast America in one of his films.

The pair, who own a pet golden retriever dog called Buddy, were previously the subject of engagement rumors in 2007. At the time, the 26-year-old star denied they were getting hitched.

“It’s totally not true! His mom called me and my sisters were calling me, and I was like, ‘Are you kidding? Did you not think I would tell you first?’ And then I put out a statement that it wasn’t true, and that became a whole news story. So now it’s news when something doesn’t happen? Like, news flash: California did not get hit by a hurricane today.”
