In March 2015, Zoe Saldana and her husband, Marco Perego, looked all loved up at the 2015 GLAAD Media Awards at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles.

Marco Perego-Saldana is an Italian artist and former soccer player. While best known as Zoe’s husband, he painted the background of Dolce & Gabbana’s “Where the Fashion Meets Art” campaign in 2008. His art has been exhibited at Zurich’s Galerie Gmurzynska, the Museo Tuscolano in Rome, the Royal Academy of Arts in London, and Art Basel in America in Miami Beach.
In June 2015, she posted a Facebook status to explain why her husband decided to take her surname.
“Fathers, sons, brothers, men everywhere: Your legacy will not perish if you take your partner’s surname, or she keeps hers. I’ve been made aware that a comment I made regarding my marriage has garnered some attention. I felt proud that my husband decided to take my last name as his own… and I his.
“I shared my hesitation with him when he told me about his decision, not only did he say: ‘I don’t give a shhheeeetttt!!’ (with a very strong Italian accent!!) he also asked me: ‘Why not? What are you so afraid of?’ And it made me wonder… What am I so afraid of?
“Why is it so surprising, shocking- eventful that a man would take his wife’s surname? Women have never been asked if it’s ok for them to give up their names — why doesn’t that make the news?
“Men, you will not cease to exist by taking your partner’s surname. On the contrary — you’ll be remembered as a man who stood by change. I know our sons will respect and admire their father more because their father lead by example.”
