"Ugly Betty" star America Ferrera marries (Reuters)

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – "Ugly Betty" star America Ferrera has married longtime boyfriend Ryan Piers Williams, a representative for the actress said on Tuesday.

Ferrera and Williams were married on Monday night in a ceremony attended by Vanessa Williams and Rebecca Romjin, who are former co-stars from the ABC comedy, said the actress' spokeswoman Carrie Byalick.

"Ugly Betty" ran from 2006 to 2010, and since then the 27 year-old Ferrera has played a recurring role on CBS drama "The Good Wife."

Williams is a filmmaker who directed "The Dry Land," an independent film released last year that starred Ferrera.
