Zoe Saldana is not a regular mom. She is a superhero mom, a sweet mom and everything a cool mom could be. Aside from spending much of her time reading scripts and training for her action films, Zoe’s true passion is her family. The Dominican actress and her husband Marco Perego dedicate their leisure time to their three sons Zen, 3 and five-year-old twin brothers, Bowie Ezio and Cy Aridio. From family adventures to behind-the-scenes breaks, the mother-of-three always finds time to play with her children. Though Zoe has spent the last few months in quarantine with her family, she has found a slew of activities to engage with her three boys. As Zoe celebrates another year around the sun on June 19, here are the 42-year-old’s sweetest mom moments and memories with Zen, Bowie and Cy.
Painting a flag
For Memorial Day, Zoe spent time with her children painting the American flag. This is a great activity to boost creativity and teach children the history behind the holiday.
Baking cookies
Zoe also enjoys DIY cooking activities with her children. This time she was trying to bake cookies with organic ingredients while her son was dressed up as a cheetah. She also had a little helper sneak some banana bread during an Instagram Live.
Wolf pack
Aside from being an Avatar, Zoe also enjoys Halloween season. Here she is donning a wolf costume with her kid. “Mama wolf and cub. Cub is much more scarier and freaked all his friends out!” she exclaimed.
Making flatbread
Zoe’s children definitely like to cook and spend time in the kitchen. During quarantine, the 42-year-old actress found comfort in her family while testing new recipes, “Today you and I painted, today we learned new dinosaur names, today you asked me to make roti with you. My sweet child, maybe tomorrow will be different, but today has been, without a shadow of doubt, a good day. And I have you to thank. We still have today, you and I.”
