Zoe Saldana Explains Why Husband Took Her Last Name
Actress Zoe Saldana revealed to InStyle magazine that her husband, Italian artist Marco Perego, took her last name after the pair secretly tied the knot in 2013. In an interview with the magazine for their July issue, The Guardians of the Galaxy actress said she tried to talk him out of it.
“I tried to talk him out of it. I told him, ‘If you use my name, you’re going to be emasculated by your community of artists, by your Latin community of men, by the world’,” she told InStyle.
Saldana also talks to the magazine about how motherhood has changed her marriage and her positive outlook on her post-preganancy body.
“I don’t want to get back to where I used to be,” she told InStyle. “I want to feel healthy, and not just fit into the old jeans I used to wear. I’m a woman now. My body has changed forever. It’s softer… and stronger.”
Saldana will grace the cover of InStyle in their July 2015 issue, marking her first cover since giving birth to her twin sons in November 2014. The issue hits newstands on June 12.
