Zoe Saldana: Keeping Family Close This Summer with Unique Holiday Plans!

The Oscar winner - turning 47 next week - dressed her 10-year-old twin sons Cy Aridio & Bowie Ezio and eight-year-old son Zen Anton Hilario in matching black blazers over white button-up shirts, blue jeans, and sneakers

Zoe Saldaña's Family Affair: Actress Brings All Three Sons to Elio Premiere, But Where's Her Husband?

It was a night to remember at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood on Tuesday as Zoe Saldaña brought her three adorable sons to the world premiere of Elio. The Oscar-winning actress, who turns 47 next week, stunned in a conservative yet stylish outfit, but it was her mini-me's that stole the show!

Zoe dressed her 10-year-old twin sons Cy Aridio and Bowie Ezio, as well as eight-year-old son Zen Anton Hilario, in matching black blazers over white button-up shirts, blue jeans, and sneakers. The triple threat mom shared a behind-the-scenes look at her glam session earlier on Instastory, giving fans a glimpse into her beauty routine.

Zoe revealed her children specifically requested that the family spend this summer not far from their $17.5M five-bedroom Montecito mansion affectionately called 'Casa De Buena Vista' when they're not enjoying 'a lot of camp'

But the question on everyone's mind was: where was Zoe's husband, Marco Perego Saldaña? The couple has been married for 12 years, but it seems they were enjoying some quality time apart. Or perhaps Marco was just taking a cue from their kids, who wanted to spend this summer at home rather than traveling.

"I usually spend my summers traveling and working," Zoe revealed on the blue carpet. "But this year, they were very adamant about staying home. And now that they're getting older, they have their own opinions and decisions. They want to stay close to home, do some soccer, music, playdates... it's been lovely!"

Zoe's kids seem to be having the time of their lives, enjoying "a lot of camp" while their mom is busy promoting her new film Elio, which hits US/UK theaters on June 20. The actress voiced Olga Solis in the animated sci-fi comedy, and it seems she's passionate about creating content that her children can relate to.

The half-Dominican, half-Puerto Rican triple threat - who boasts 16.5M social media followers - shared an Instastory of herself getting glam earlier

"I wanted to be part of great stories out there that my children can relate to from an early stage," Zoe explained. "I'm all about representation and making sure that our kids see themselves reflected on screen."

As the mom of three busy bees, Zoe is no stranger to balancing work and family life. She's set to reprise her motion-capture role as Neytiri in James Cameron's $250M-budget three-quel Avatar: Fire and Ash, hitting US/UK theaters on December 19.

But before that, she'll be seen producing the Caribbean-set swashbuckler action drama The Bluff, starring Priyanka Chopra and Karl Urban, which premieres on Amazon Prime Video on October 10.

Zoe made her Pixar debut voicing Olga Solis - whose nephew is abducted by aliens - in the animated sci-fi comedy Elio, which hits US/UK theaters June 20

And let's not forget her iconic roles in blockbuster franchises Avatar, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Star Trek! Zoe Saldaña is truly a force to be reckoned with, both on and off screen. Stay tuned for more updates on this talented actress and her adorable family!

The Golden Globe winner made sure to pose in a group shot with numerous castmates, two of the three credited directors Domee Shi and Madeline Sharafian (back row center) as well as Pixar execs
