Zoe Saldaña has always been happy talking about her marriage to Marco Perego-Saldaña, often sharing snippets of their life together on social media and talking about him in interviews.
“Zoe is a little spicy as a Latina, and I say to Zoe, ‘I’m going to New York. I need to do something for work,’” Perego-Saldaña said. “I actually went to the Dominican Republic, [to say] thanks [to] her stepfather and all the family who support me.”
