America Ferrera and husband Ryan Piers Williams brought their real-life marriage to Barbie Land.

The actress, 39, stars as the human Gloria in Barbie, an employee of Mattel and mom to teen Sasha (Ariana Greenblatt) who helps Margot Robbie's Stereotypical Barbie learn what it's like to be a woman in the real world.

Gloria's husband is shown in a few brief moments — mostly as he learns Spanish via Duolingo. He's played by Ferrera's actual husband, writer/actor Williams, 42.

Earlier this month, Ferrera posted a photo of herself smiling alongside Williams at the European premiere of Barbie in London, writing in the caption, "My favorite & forever Ken, you cute."

He also shared a photo from the event, adding in the caption, "I can’t wait for you all to see America in this film!"

After dating for five years, Ferrera and Williams got engaged in June 2010. A year later, the pair got married in June 2011 in Chappaqua, New York, at the home of her Ugly Betty costar Vanessa Williams.

According to The Cut, Barbie director Greta Gerwig wrote the part of Gloria after being a fan of Ugly Betty for years. (Gerwig co-wrote the script with her own real-life partner Noah Baumbach.)

Ferrera and Williams share son Sebastian Piers, 5, and daughter Lucia Marisol, 3.

In October, Ferrera told PEOPLE her kids had no clue mom and dad were starring in the blockbuster Barbie — which broke box office records over its opening weekend.

"They don't really have any context for it," she said at the time. "So one day [they might care]. But not now, they're still too young."

Williams said in his post, "The energy was on fire today on the picket line in NYC! Proud to be in the fight for better contracts for my fellow SAG and WGA members!"

Barbie is in theaters now.
