In case you missed it, America Ferrera’s husband Ryan Piers Williams is featured twice in “Barbie,” making cameos as her in-movie husband and co-parent. The filmmaker is first spotlighted when Gloria and Sasha, the film’s mother-daughter duo, are traveling with Barbie into Barbieland. “What about Dad? We can’t just leave him,” Sasha asks her mom. Gloria dismissively replies that he’ll be fine, with the tween then agreeing, “Yeah, he’ll be fine.”
Then, the movie cuts to Williams sitting in the family’s living room, practicing his Spanish skills with the language-learning app Duolingo. He appears again at the end of the film, making an Easter egg reference to Ferrera’s 2002 movie “Gotta Kick It Up” by calling out, “Sí, se puede,” which Sasha calls out as a political statement.
The real-life couple isn’t only spotted together on the big screen, though, as they each took to Instagram in July of 2023 to share photos of themselves at the UK premiere of “Barbie.” “My favorite & forever Ken, you cute,” Ferrera captioned her photo. Similarly, Williams wrote in his own post, “I can’t wait for you all to see America in this film!”
