Zoe Saldaña Details the Important Lesson She’s Passed on to Her Kids

As a lifestyle expert, I wholeheartedly admire Zoe Saldaña‘s approach to raising her children and balancing her personal and professional life. Her shift from saying she “has” to go to work to expressing that she “wants” to do so, instills in her kids the importance of finding joy and passion in one’s career. It’s a subtle but powerful lesson that many of us can learn from.


Zoe Saldaña wants her kids to know the value of hard work.

Because of this, Emilia Pérez, the famous actress and mother to twin boys Cy Aridio and Bowie Ezio (aged 9) as well as son Zen Anton Hilario (aged 7), together with husband Marco Perego, has shifted how she discusses her work within their family environment.

She clarified that the lesson she wants to impart is that work is an integral aspect of life, and if one engages in activities that bring joy, they should simply spread that happiness among their loved ones.

Apart from sharing valuable life lessons, the 46-year-old actress from Guardians of the Galaxy also disclosed the parts of being a mom that bring her the greatest joy.

She mentioned that her children having a good night’s rest is similar to when they finish eating all their veggies, or when they enter the car without throwing a tantrum, and it’s just like when she herself manages to remain calm while getting into the car.

Besides her immediate children, Zoe observed that maintaining family balance is important in other aspects too. She explained, “Being there for and fully present with my partner, as well as regularly connecting with my mother, makes me feel the strongest.

The couple shared this detail on The Drew Barrymore Show in April, with Zoe explaining, “Marco has a way to signal ‘romantic moments’, like saying they’re playing with Legos while being naked.

Nevertheless, it appeared that their well-laid plan didn’t last long as their eldest sons deciphered the secret behind the message.

Zoe remembered them saying, “Are you two playing a game of ‘Kiss the Legos’?”, to which she and her friend replied, “No, we are not.
