Zoe Saldaña is setting aside some time for family after the 2025 Oscars. On Sunday, Mar. 2, the Emilia Pérez actress, 46, shared on the red carpet that she already knew what she wanted to do after the busy award show season — and her plans revolve around spending time with sons Cy Aridio and Bowie Ezio, 10, and Zen Anton, 8, whom she shares with husband Marco Perego-Saldaña. "I would like to take my kids to school and pick them up," Saldaña told E! News. "And I would want them to finish this school year with their mama by their side because they are so resilient, and they have been backing me up along with my husband this entire campaign." "But I miss my children like I miss air, like I miss water, and I just can't wait to come to school," she added. When asked about what her kids thought of her "glamorous" looks during the awards shows, including the Academy Awards, Saldaña joked, "They like it, as long as — like Bowie says — as long as my belly isn't out." Back in February, the mom of three attended the 40th Santa Barbara International Film Festival and was joined by all of her sons. The actress — who was honored with the American Riviera Award for outstanding achievement in American film during a ceremony at The Arlington Theatre — flashed a huge smile as she wrapped her arms around her boys on the red carpet.

The three youngsters also smiled for the cameras, wearing matching looks, wearing dark jackets over white T-shirts with coordinating dark pants and white sneakers. Meanwhile, Saldaña dressed in a sleeveless sequined black gown, while her hair was styled into an updo with a bow. In January, Saldaña spoke to W. Magazine for their first issue in 2025 and shared that she's been attempting to get her three young sons into dance. "I'm trying. I'm not going to give up. Studies have shown that it is so therapeutic for men to take any form of dance at a very early age or throughout their lives because they carry so much tension and emotion," she told the outlet. "At least my twins are tapping. My younger one, he couldn't give a s--- who is dancing. He wants to be Cristiano Ronaldo; he wants to be Lionel Messi," she continued. "But my twins are very much like, 'Yo, girls are in there? They're dancing hip-hop?' And they'll dance." Emilia Pérez is now streaming on Netflix.
