Actress America Ferrera and her husband Ryan Piers Williams are expecting.
Ferrera of “Superstore” and before that “Ugly Betty” fame and Williams confirmed the expected arrival in a post on Instagram over the weekend.
“We’re welcoming one more face to kiss in 2018!” wrote the 33-year- old actress.
Williams and the Emmy-winning Ferrera have been together for 12 years and wed in 2011, the Los Angeles Times reported. They first met as students at USC when Williams cast Ferrera in a student film.
There was no immediate word on gender or the due date.
Ferrera’s pregnancy announcement came just before she and more than 300 other prominent women working in Hollywood launched the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund, an anti-harassment initiative meant to combat sexual harassment in the entertainment industry and beyond.
“We wrote and issued this letter of solidarity to stand with women across every industry in saying: #TIMESUP. Time’s up on silence. Time’s up on waiting. Time’s up on tolerating discrimination, harassment and abuse,” wrote Ferrera.
