Who lights up her world?
America Ferrera’s got two little sparks: son Sebastian Piers and daughter Lucia Marisol.
She’s married to Ryan Piers Williams, and they make family magic together.
Kids change everything, she says, fueling her energy and purpose.
How did kids flip her life?
Motherhood hit hard and fast for America. She welcomed Sebastian in 2018, then Lucia amid the pandemic chaos two years later.
It sharpened her focus, especially on cultural roots and raising proud kids.
Now, balancing Hollywood hits like Barbie with diapers feels like a wild, rewarding ride.
What’s Sebastian’s vibe?
This little guy keeps things fun. Born in May 2018, he’s already a handful of curiosity and laughs.
America shares how he tagged along to work sets, turning crew into babysitters, and now they doodle makeup on weekends.
Will he chase acting? Who knows— she’s all about letting him play free.
How about Lucia’s arrival?
Lucia burst in during 2020’s lockdown, a surprise gift on Mother’s Day eve.
She’s got that bright light America raves about, but quarantine made bonding intense.
No grandparents for backup meant more family huddles, easing Sebastian into big brother mode. It’s messy, yet full of love and growth.
What keeps them glowing?
Family time means glow-up selfies and heartfelt chats. America shields their faces online but spills on how her kids make her feel beautiful and valued.
Through flowers for Oscars or simple giggles, it’s about carving their own paths with zero pressure.
Life’s not perfect, but it’s theirs—and that’s success.
