She spent years trying to appear strong. Saldaña realized the truth. “But there’s nothing more powerful than showing vulnerability,” she added. Showing emotion sets a powerful example for her children.
A Relationship of Give-and-Take
Saldaña and Perego met on a flight to New York. They married quietly just months after meeting. The actress shared her sense of peace in 2015. She felt more at ease since she began dating Marco. She stated, “Since I’ve been with Marco, I’ve been lowering my guard.”
Later, she felt certainty about their connection. “I was meant for you, and you were meant for me,” she realized. She always felt comfortable with male friends. Now she finally feels comfortable with her lover. She wants to live inside the religion of their family.
Saldaña spoke about their relationship dynamic in 2018. They maintain a “give-and-take” in their marriage. She said, “There’s no directing my husband.” Similarly, he does not direct her career or choices. They both follow their own hearts as artists. Yet, they remain very supportive of each other. They are also very opinionated, she noted. They always hear the other person’s thoughts. This reciprocal respect defines their dynamic.
