The other day on the red carpet, “Ugly Betty” star America Ferrera unveiled a much slimmer figure, which got the media singing her praises for how she managed to stay healthy without losing her trademark curves. Aside from her much fitter body, Ferrera unveiled another thing as well: a sparkling diamond ring, as People magazine can confirm.

The “Ugly Betty” star is engaged to be married to her longtime boyfriend Ryan Piers Williams, whom she started dating when they were still in college and they began to work together in his movies. More details on the upcoming wedding ceremony have not yet been made public, still, knowing Ferrera and how discreet she is about her personal life, chances are her fans will only learn about her wedding after it’s a done deal.

“Ugly Betty is going to make one beautiful bride! Actress America Ferrera is engaged to marry longtime boyfriend Ryan Piers Williams, her rep confirms to People. Ferrera, 26, first met Williams at the University of Southern California when he cast her in his student film. On Wednesday, the actress sported her new diamond on the red carpet at the Edinburgh Film Festival screening of The Illusionist in Scotland,” People writes.

Speaking of pleasant surprises, another celebrity couple has recently decided to make their relationship official after having been an item for eight years. Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart eloped to New Mexico, where Ford is actually shooting for a new film, where they were wed by the Governor himself. In their case as well, details are very scarce, but today’s reports suggest that not even Ford’s children knew about their father’s wedding plans and were consequently not invited to the ceremony.

“TMZ has learned Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart were married yesterday and Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico performed the ceremony. We got the tip from Lisa Stanley at K-Earth 101 in LA and just confirmed it ourselves. We’re told the couple was married in the Governor’s mansion in Santa Fe. Their marriage license was filed today in the County Clerk’s Office,” TMZ said yesterday, as we also reported.
