Zoe Saldaña Was Honored At The Time 100 Gala & Her Husband’s Support Will Melt Your Heart 👑❤️✨

Hollywood’s most quietly beautiful love story just showed up on the Time 100 red carpet — and everyone noticed.
Zoe Saldaña was honored at the 2026 Time100 Gala at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York on April 23 — stunning in a one-shoulder Givenchy velvet gown with ribbon embroidery, alongside husband Marco Perego-Saldaña, turning the whole evening into a stylish date night.
And what makes this couple so special? Zoe says it best: “My husband is my helium. He’s always gassing me up, like, ‘You’re amazing, you’re beautiful.'” And he backs it up. When Zoe became the highest-grossing actor in the history of film — overtaking Scarlett Johansson with a combined $15.47 billion at the worldwide box office — Marco was the one tracking the numbers on their vacation, arriving at the breakfast table every morning with the latest figures just to celebrate her.
Their love story reads like a film itself. They met on a flight to New York in 2013 — Zoe felt the vibration before he even turned around. They married just three months later in a secret ceremony in London. Before proposing, Marco secretly flew to the Dominican Republic to visit the grave of Zoe’s father and ask for his blessing — and filmed the whole thing.
A former professional soccer player from a small town in northern Italy, Marco gave up the sport after a career-ending injury at 21 and rebuilt his entire life as an artist — showing his work at the Royal Academy of Arts in London and Art Basel.
Two people who both swore they’d never get married. Twelve years later, still each other’s greatest fans. 💛
