Love at first sight Zoe Saldana and Marco Perego

Marriage is not only for those who believe in the power of tradition and the inviolability of bonds. Couples who like to shock the audience somewhat also get married and build their own unique family. 42-year-old actress Zoe Saldana and her husband, artist Marco Perego-Saldana are one such couple. Zoe started dating him right before filming for Infinitely Polar Bear.

It was a whirlwind romance, and Zoe, according to her, followed only the voice of her heart. The actress admitted that the spark appeared even before she saw Marco’s face:

“I noticed him from the back. It was 6:30 in the morning and I was flying to New York. And I can’t even describe to you what vibrations I felt. He turned to me because he also felt these vibrations. “

Too unrealistic, you say? Such a romantic story can only be seen in films, but it happened in Zoe’s life:

“I know people don’t believe in this, and I didn’t believe it either. I am a fan of Sigmund Freud, and I am guided by logic. But for this case, I have no explanation. I didn’t need to explain or substantiate anything. It is enough that I felt it. That’s all”.

Listen to your heart

The actress opened up a little for the Marie Claire edition:

“I only do what my heart tells me. From the moment I met Marco, we are inseparable. I wasn’t going to try and see if the relationship worked. No, I felt it. And I agreed with this feeling. I had the experience of a relationship in which the man did not respect me, and I no longer want to communicate with this man. I don’t want to be friends with all my exes. In the end, it is not for nothing that they are called the “former”. I struck them off my list. Are you going to be friends with someone who doesn’t respect you? “

Zoe gives advice to all women about personal relationships. Her motto: “Don’t settle for less.”

The actress explains it as follows:

“If you are unhappy with a man, leave. Know how to wait until you meet the person who will make you feel happy every single day. He expects you to grow and develop with him, rather than adjust to him. “

Gender neutral family

Today Zoe and Marco are the parents of three sons: 4-year-old Xena and 6-year-old twins Bowie and Sai. Marco even added his wife’s surname to his surname as a sign of respect for her, and their children also bear a double surname – Perego-Saldana. They also raise their boys in a gender-neutral atmosphere.

“We have a very gender-neutral family. For example, my husband does a lot of tasks that are usually assigned to women, and vice versa, – Zoe Saldana told Us Weekly, – I have to do a lot of male work, say, put together a TV, fix a broken one. We can be called a family with very flexible gender characteristics. “

Once one of her twins said that boys are stronger than girls, and Zoe decided to help her son get rid of stereotypes. The actress believes that now her children are like a blank slate, because she does not want them to think with hackneyed standards and take such a way of thinking with them into adulthood.

Zoe Saldana is also very kind to her parents’ family:

“I love coming to New York because my family is here. For a time I grew up in Queens, where my mother, stepfather and grandmother still live. ” Zoe has two sisters, Maryele and Cecily, with whom she co-runs the production company CineStar Productions. “We are very close to them, – says the actress, – When we get together, the sisters bring their pillows, and we all lie together. And my grandmother is reclining next to her on the couch, which is so great. “
