America Ferrera Talks Repercussions of Staying Out Late with Blake Lively, Alexis Bledel and Amber Tamblyn

The "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" castmates and longtime friends' outings look a little different as they each tackle working mom life

America Ferrera loves growing with her Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants castmates through the many seasons of their lives.

The Barbie actress, 39, talked about her recent reunion with  Blake Lively, 36, Alexis Bledel, 42, and Amber Tamblyn, 40, admitting that "it's so weird" to see people fangirl over them spending time together.

"Sometimes we go out — because the first movie was 20 years ago — so we'll go out for brunch. I'll be like, 'Why are they — oh because we're the sisterhood of the traveling pants.'"

"I forget," she admitted, adding, "We are all moms. We have lives and careers and sometimes a lot of time goes by that we don't see each other."

Ferrera shares daughter Lucia Marisol, 3, and son Sebastian Piers, 5, with her husband, actor and director Ryan Piers Williams. Lively shares an 11-month-old, as well as daughters Betty, 4, Inez, 7, and James, 9, with husband Ryan Reynolds. Bledel shares an 8-year-old son with ex Vincent Kartheiser. Tamblyn has a 6-year-old daughter, Marlow Alice, whom she shares with husband David Cross.

She continued, "But when we do get together, like we did a couple of weeks ago, we all get together in one of our apartments."

"And we couldn't leave! It was like 2:00 a.m. It was like, 'I don't want to go, but all of us are going to be woken up by our terrible children at 6:00 in the morning,'" she laughed.

"We had to go but we didn't want to leave each other. It's an amazing thing to have a friendship that makes you feel like you're 20 but also has all the depth of being alive together through all of it. It's an incredible blessing."

Last month, Lively shared an Instagram post from a special screening to celebrate Ferrera’s role in the Barbie movie, along with a tribute to her longtime friend.

“I was so happy to celebrate my denim sister @americaferrera She’s the heart and soul of @barbiethemovie because she’s the heart and soul of everything she’s a part of."

Lively continued, “I’ve known her for 20 years. Since I was 16. I’ve watched her live, grow, soar, fall, make, break, push, fight, win, create, forge, disrupt, way make, lead, lead, lead."

The Age of Adaline star also referenced Fererra’s famous Barbie monologue: “That speech she gives as Gloria felt as close to real as anything I’ve ever seen on screen. Because that's who she is. She’s spectacular, passionate, inspiring and full of heart in her own life."

Lively concluded her tribute, “I can’t wait to watch her sweep awards up across her living room floor. No one deserves it more … for a lifetime of brilliant work. It’s one of my life’s honors to witness her show so many women not only what’s possible, but HOW it’s done. I love you sister. Always.”

And referencing the 2005 movie in which they starred together, she added, “Pants = Love. Love your sisters. Love yourself.”

Ferrera wrote in the post's comments section, “🥹 When your girl gives good hype. I love you forever sis. 🥹 💕."
