Zoe Saldana's kids are so grown up in rare photos
Zoe Saldaña offered a rare glimpse into her personal life with photos of her three sons.
The Avatar: Away from the water star, 45, shared a clip on Instagram on Friday, February 16, which highlighted several recent moments she shared with her family, namely her husband Marco Perego Saldañaand their three children, twins Cy and Bowie, 9, and Zen, 7.
Photos and videos shared by Saldaña show the family together at the beach, at home, on planes and in bed, interspersed with solo selfies of the actor and date nights with her husband, 44. The video is set to the song “Lost” by Frank Ocean. “Lost, lost, lost… In the best places, with the best people. Always lost…Amen!” Saldaña captioned the post.
Saldaña kept her boys out of the spotlight for most of their lives until May 2018, when they made their first public appearance on the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 star during the Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony.
So in love! Zoe Saldana and Marco Perego Saldana have been going strong for almost a decade. The pair started dating in the spring of 2013, but their story began years earlier. “I have known my partner for five years. I knew his work. I knew about him. Then we met,” the Avatar star told The Hollywood […]
Saldaña previously spoke about her experiences raising three boys. In an exclusive interview in June 2018, she said We weekly that she and Perego Saldaña, who married in 2013, try to keep a gender-neutral household.
“We have a very gender-neutral environment in which my husband participates in many tasks that would normally be assigned to women, and vice versa,” she explained. “I get to do a lot of manly things, which is, I don't know, putting together the TV, fixing things that break. We're kind of a very gender fluid household. I think it's important to raise boys in that environment, and girls too.”
The actress added that it was “ironic” that she was constantly surrounded by boys after growing up with two sisters. However, Saldaña thought that boys could be “just as crazy” as girls.
Scarlett Johansson and more famous parents have welcomed 'secret' babies over the years. Johansson shares daughter Rose, born in 2014, with ex-husband Romain Dauriac and son Cosmo, born in 2021, with husband Colin Jost. She hid her second pregnancy, although Jost spilled the beans during a comedy show. “We're having a baby,” Jost […]
“They are just as sensitive and just as kind, but super hyper,” she said at the time. “It's really hard to… You need a lot of physical energy to keep up with three guys. Four boys because my husband is the biggest.”
Saldaña added that when it comes to raising three boys, “an outburst always happens at the most inopportune time.”
She continued, “I've had them all. I checked every box. Airport, public places, in the car, sitting and talking to people you barely know. Suddenly you smell something and you look at yourself and you're full of shit. It's just, you know, c'est la vie.
As much as her sons challenged her as a mother (as children often do), Saldaña shared one of the most valuable lessons her children taught her about parenting: “Being kind.”
“As moms, we sometimes forget that,” says the Avengers: Endgame star explained. “We are caught with raising and teaching and disciplining and cooking and cleaning and not enough time to play. I think my kids always remind me when I'm too boring. They say, 'Mommy, be nice, sit down and play with me.' That's what they teach me.”
