What The Cast Of 'The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants' Looks Like Today
"The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants," which is based on the novel of the same name by Ann Brashares, came out in 2005. It was followed by a sequel in 2008, and a third film is being developed (via IMDb). While there is not much known about this third installment, this does give fans a chance to review the cast and see what they all look like today.
First up is America Ferrera, who is 37 and who was 20 when she first played Carmen Lowell (via In That Movie). She went on to portray Betty Suarez in "Ugly Betty" between 2006 and 2010, Amy in "Superstore" from 2015 to 2021, and Astrid in the "How to Train Your Dragon" TV shows and films.
In her personal life, she married Ryan Piers Williams, an actor and writer, in 2011, and together, they have two children: Sebastian Piers Williams, a son born in 2018, and Lucia Marisol Williams, a daughter born in 2020 (via Instagram).
The movie focuses on four best friends who find a special pair of pants
Another main character from "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" books and movies is Tabitha Anastasia Tomko-Rollins, a.k.a. Tibby, and she is played by Amber Tamblyn. This actress has been seen in television shows such as "General Hospital," "Joan of Arcadia," and "House" and in films like "The Ring," "127 Hours," and "Django Unchained" (via IMDb).
In real life, Tamblyn is married to actor David Cross, known for his role in "Arrested Development." In 2017, they welcomed a daughter, Marlow Alice Cross, into the world, as reported by People.
According to In That Movie, this 37-year-old was 21 when she first started playing a teenager who found a magical pair of jeans with her best friends. It is common to see stars play younger or older characters at different times throughout their careers, and only one of these cast members was actually in her teens, as seen down below.

Blake Lively had a small role as Trixie/Tooth Fairy in "Sandman" in 1998, but her first big role was playing Bridget Vreeland in "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants." Since then, she has gone on to appear in films like "Accepted," "The Age of Adaline," and "A Simple Favor," and, of course, she starred on "Gossip Girl" as Serena van der Woodsen from 2007 to 2012 (via IMDb).
As many know, Lively has been married to actor Ryan Reynolds since 2012, and the couple shares three daughters: James, who is six; Inez, who is four; and Betty, who is one, as reported by the Daily Mail.
As mentioned above, Lively was the only member of the cast to actually be a teen while playing a teen. Though she is now 33, she was 16 years old during the time of this film, according to a site called In That Movie.
All of these actresses have children (whether they wanted the world to know it or not)
Finally, when covering the cast of "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" then and now, there is Alexis Bledel, who is 39 years old and who was 22 when she first played Lena Kaligaris.
Like Lively, she also had a small role in 1998, when she was an uncredited student on "Rushmore." Then, in 2002, she was Winnie Foster in "Tuck Everlasting." She went on to appear in television series such as "Mad Men," "The Handmaid's Tale," and, of course, "Gilmore Girls," and she even reprised her role of Rory Gilmore in "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life" in 2016 (via IMDb).
Bledel met Vincent Kartheiser on the set of "Mad Men," and the two tied the knot in 2014. They keep their personal lives very private, including the news of their growing family (via E! Online). They had a baby boy in the fall of 2015, and the news actually came out when Scott Patterson (a.k.a. Luke Danes) mentioned it to Glamour in May 2016!
