Zoe Saldaña’s family is living in a state of post-Oscar nomination bliss. The actress earned the nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her performance in Emilia Pérez, and her family of five looks beyond thrilled. In a super rare move, the actress shared photos of her 10-year-old twins Cy and Bowie and 8-year-old son Zen to mark the momentous occasion.
“How today feels :-),” Saldaña captioned a carousel of photos and videos on Instagram.
In the collection, Saldaña, her husband Marco Perego-Saldaña, and their kids look thrilled about the life-changing news. There are party hats, a cake that says, “We are so proud,” and a dance party. Happiness radiates throughout this family, and no photo shows it better than the candid shot where Saldaña and her kids are having a pillow fight. It looks like they are in a hotel bed and are feeling nothing but pure joy as they goof off and hug each other.
Once Saldaña finishes her cake-and-cuddles-filled celebration with her kids, we bet she and her husband will have a more R-rated celebration tonight. Or, as they like to call it, “playing LEGOs naked.” That’s the not-so-subtle code phrase they use in front of their kids to tell each other they want some “sexy time.”
OK, so maybe they don’t put on an Oscar-worthy performance when they’re in the mood, but Saldaña certainly brings her A-game to set!
In October, the Guardians of the Galaxy star had a moving message for working moms. “Being on the road is hard when you’re away from your children,” she wrote on Instagram. “To all the moms out there making the ultimate sacrifice for their dreams. Those dreams are their’s too! Trust the process…”
She certainly trusted the process with Emilia Peréz, winning the Golden Globe for her performance in the film earlier this month. And now, she just might be on her way to her first Oscars win.
These celebrity parents are on double duty!
