After nearly two years of marriage to the professional soccer player-turned-artist (and since welcoming an adorable set of twin boys into the world), Saldana has finally revealed that Perego made the non-traditional choice following their nuptials in 2013 despite his wife's doubts. "I tried to talk him out of it," she tells InStyle. "I told him, 'If you use my last name, you're going to be emasculated by your community of artists, by your Latin community of men, by the world.' But Marco looks up at me and says [she puts on a cute Italian accent], 'Ah, Zoë, I don't give a sheet.'"
