Saldana On Expanding Her Family
1 min readStar Trek Beyond‘s Zoe Saldana, the mother of three sons, was asked if she has plans for more children.
Saldana and husband Marco Perego welcomed their youngest son Zen into the family in February and it looks like his arrival will make Saldana’s family complete.
“No, no, no,” she said, when asked if she wanted another child. “Three is enough!”
The actress is now outnumbered four-to-one, but so far, so good. “So far, they are still very little, thank God,” said Saldana. “My husband is such a sensitive person, and he’s so Italian and flamboyant that thank God we don’t have testosterone issues. If anything, I am the one that comes a little too strong and hard. I know my years are numbered, when that day comes and I’m like, ‘Hey, guys!’ and they’re like, ‘Can you move, Mom?'”
“I’m accepting this challenge,” she added. “I come from a family of women, of matriarchs, and we’ve survived many things. We’ve learnt. We’ve overcome. We’ve achieved.
“I’m just excited about this adventure and getting to explore the opposite sex from the inception. The moment I found out I was pregnant with twin boys, I thought I was empathetic towards men [already, but] the empathy that grew in me and the curiosity to get to know men more is infinite.””
