All About America Ferrera’s 2 Kids, Sebastian and Lucia

America Ferrera is the mother of son Sebastian Piers Williams and daughter Lucia Marisol Williams with longtime husband Ryan Piers Williams.

Ferrera became a parent for the first time when she welcomed her son in May 2018 and again during the COVID-19 pandemic when her daughter was born in May 2020.

The Superstore star has shot some of her biggest projects while also taking care of her children, including the blockbuster Barbie film, and she credits Williams with helping her do it.

“I could never have imagined that we would grow a family under these circumstances,” she told PEOPLE of welcoming Lucia. “But it’s also been wonderful because it’s made us really spend time as a family of four and really get into our groove of just being our own little family… I think there’s going to be a lot of great memories of this time.”

One of the hardest parts for Ferrera was getting her daughter used to meeting new people.

“Whenever there is an opportunity for a new face, [Lucia] she just bursts into tears,” she shared. “She doesn’t know what to do with new faces, so hopefully she’s young enough that all of this will be fixed before it really starts to stick to her.”

Besides giving him plenty of time to bond, quarantine seemed to make it easier for Baz to adjust to his new sibling.

“We were home with him for so many weeks before she came that I think he was actually relieved that our attention wasn’t on him,” Ferrera told host Seth Meyers. Late Night with Seth Meyers. “He said, ‘Focus one more time, Mom and Dad.’ So he was actually great and didn’t throw anything out at her, which I guess is a good sign.”
