Zoe Saldaña is one of the most successful actresses in Hollywood today. Her journey to this point has been filled with sacrifices, perhaps the toughest involving her beautiful, large family. The actress, who recently premiered her film Emilia Pérez, was photographed with her three children, who bear an uncanny resemblance to their famous mother.

It was a special occasion where Saldaña, who rarely shows her children at public events, made an appearance at the Santa Barbara Film Festival.

Zoe Saldaña and her husband, Marco Perego, cherish every opportunity to share glimpses of their growing family. Their three sons—10-year-old twins Cy and Bowie, along with their youngest, 7-year-old Zen—not only inherit their parents’ heritage but also captivate with their striking resemblance to their famous mother. With their long, dark locks and distinctive features, the boys embody a beautiful fusion of their Italian father’s charm and their Dominican-Puerto Rican mother’s elegance.

"Being on the road is hard when you’re away from your children." The 42-year-old actress confessed as she busily promotes Emilia Pérez. To all the moms out there making the ultimate sacrifice for their dreams. Those dreams are their’s too! Trust the process... #momlife," she shared in a social media post, offering inspiring advice to her followers.

Back in November 2016, just before the birth of her youngest son, Zoe opened up about her motherhood experience: “Initially, I thought it would force me to slow down, but that hasn't been the case. Now, I feel like I have so much energy to do everything I want to. Having twins is wonderful, even though it wasn't something we planned.”

A blessing to have twins

“We wanted to start a family, but having two at once has definitely been a blessing. I grew up in a household full of women, and now I live with three boys who are like little wildlings—very spontaneous and playful. They keep me on my toes. I've embraced my new life, and I love it!” she added.

At that time, Zoe highlighted her husband's commitment as a father, noting how they have formed a great team: “We plan everything together, supporting each other unconditionally in our careers, personal desires, and goals. But all of that is possible only if we are completely honest and transparent with each other. When we face a crossroads, we take the time to reflect and decide how we will tackle that obstacle to move forward.”
