Zoe Saldana Is Pregnant with Her First Child!
by Andy NeuenschwanderCongratulations to our favorite big blue (or green) alien!
"Guardians of the Galaxy" star Zoe Saldana is pregnant, according to sources. This would be Saldana's first child, as well as the first for her husband, Italian artist Marco Perego. The couple married back in 2013.
Sources close to Saldana are claiming that she's three months pregnant, but that she will not announce it until she feels ready to do so. The rumors were heightened after the recent premiere for "Guardians of the Galaxy," where it seemed that the 36-year-old actress might have been trying to camouflage a baby bump.
This could throw a wrench in some of Saldana's projects, as the actress is about to be one of the busiest in Hollywood. She is part of two franchises already between "Star Trek," where she plays Uhura, and "Avatar," where she plays Neytiri. The "Avatar" franchise was just announced to be in pre-production for three more movies to be filmed over the coming years, and another "Star Trek" movie is inevitable considering the success of the series thus far.
Additionally, "Guardians of the Galaxy" is expected to do well at the box office, which means that it could become a franchise of its own. Even in the unlikely scenario that "Guardians" doesn't get its own movie, the characters would be likely to appear in other Marvel features.
Best of luck to Saldana and Perego, and here's hoping that everything goes more smoothly than it did for Saldana's character in the recent miniseries remake of "Rosemary's Baby."
