Zoe Saldana knows how to make a splash on the screen and with family.

Zoe showed off her incredibly toned body in a pair of athletic shorts layered over a colorful Rashguard, a long sleeved waterproof spandex shirt that protects the body from sun damage.
The blue and purple patterned top was offset with patches of black to match her black shorts. The beach outfit hugged Zoe’s slim figure, showing off her killer legs and she wore her hair slicked back into a bun.
Between the LA heatwave and chasing her kids around, Saldana at one point appeared wiped out, opting to take a breather with her feet in the water.

The actress shares her three sons, five-year-old twins Cy Aridio & Bowie Ezio and three-year-old, Zen with Italian producer husband, Marco Perego, 41, whom she married in 2013.
The couple decided upon marriage that they would both exchange last names, meaning Marco has the last name of Saldana in addition to Zoe taking his name Perego.
In a March 2020 interview with US Weekly, the Avatar actress also revealed that she and Marco raise their sons in a gender-neutral household.
Part of that means their children have both male and female toys and Zoe and Marco do not perform traditional gender roles in the home.
