Despite her high-profile career, appearing in movies like Guardians of the Galaxy and Avatar, Saldaña always prioritizes special moments with the "best people" in her family of five. Saldaña and Perego have done their best to keep their children out of the spotlight.

"Marco and I have a great deal of respect for the privacy of our kids," she told PEOPLE in 2017. "We have to choose for them and part of that is giving them the anonymity that they need."

Still, Saldaña's kids know about her Hollywood fame. "I see how [Zen] is trying to place me in his mind like, 'OK, you're Mama, but you're also Gamora,'" she said of her youngest during an interview for InStyle. "The fact that that gives me street cred with my kids, it's fun, it's great."

Saldaña has previously opened up about not raising her boys with gender-specific roles, but "teaching our little boys to honor women and to celebrate women."

"We're very hard on our boys the same way we're hard on women. And boys are encouraged to be strong and to suppress their emotions," she explained to PEOPLE in 2023.

"And then once you learn to do that so much for so long, you become completely excommunicated from your feelings," she continued. "We definitely understood the assignments and accepted it knowing that we were raising boys during a time when women's movements are so important."
