Indelicato – who played Betty fashion-obsessed nephew and is now all grown-up – posted a photo on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/farkindelicato/status/589692466464428032) showing him hugging Ferrera over the caption: “My heart and soul.” He added, “Best night with some _Ugly Betty_ alum. Happy Birthday my beautiful darling @AmericaFerrera thank you for your undying support and love.” > [](https://twitter.com/farkindelicato/status/589692466464428032) Though [Michael Urie](http://www.people.com/article/cocktails-classics-logo-michael-urie) – Wilhelmina’s assistant, Marc St. James – couldn’t be at reunion (he’s currently performing on stage in London), he commemorated the series finale’s fifth anniversary by posting some adorable throwback photos on [Instagram](https://instagram.com/michaelurielikesit/), including one of him and Indelicato giving the camera some [serious sass](https://instagram.com/p/1dZOT0G8AK/?taken-by=michaelurielikesit), as well as a [nostalgic shot](https://instagram.com/p/1dW-eBG8Mm/?taken-by=michaelurielikesit) with Ferrera from the final day of shooting. “#uglybetty #fiveyearsgone #behindthescenes @AmericaFerrera and I pretended to keep acting after the final scene together,” Urie wrote. _This_ [_article_](http://www.people.com/article/ugly-betty-america-ferrera-birthday-cast-reunion) _originally appeared on_ [_People.com_](http://www.people.com)_._ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3830115/ugly-betty-cast-reunited/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3830115/ugly-betty-cast-reunited/"},"headline":"Ugly Betty Cast Reunited for America Ferrera's 31st Birthday","datePublished":"2015-04-21T18:27:08.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T06:33:28.145Z","description":"They also celebrated the series finale's fifth anniversary","url":"https://time.com/3830115/ugly-betty-cast-reunited/","keywords":["Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Wade Rouse / People"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3830115/ugly-betty-cast-reunited/","name":"Ugly Betty Cast Reunited for America Ferrera's 31st Birthday"}}]}] ```
