She was the category’s frontrunner, but Zoe Saldaña didn’t breathe easy until her name was announced. Although ‘Emilia Pérez’ became the most-nominated non-English language film in Oscar history months ago, controversies have continually surrounded it, taking a toll. Its tally after these 2025 Oscars stands at 2 wins from 13 nominations. Last-minute bets on some of her fellow nominees kept Saldaña on edge until the end, but the storm has passed, and the Dominican actress can now celebrate her award.

How many kids does Zoe Saldaña have?

Saldaña is married to Marco Perego-Saldaña, with who she has three children: Cy Aridio and Bowie Ezio, 10 and Zen Anton, 8. In a recent interview she mentioned how important her kids are her to her, “But I miss my children like I miss air, like I miss water, and I just can’t wait to come to school,” she said.

Saldaña has had a happy ending at the Oscars, especially since she announced at the last minute that she had made peace with Karla Sofía Gascón and wanted them all to be together at the Oscars. “I think it’s important that we close this episode as a team, just as it all started. After that, each person can walk the path they choose. If it’s one of redemption, then redemption,” she declared. A brave decision that didn’t cost her and speaks to the heart of an actress now cemented in Hollywood’s history.
