Their relationship has often drawn attention for the deeply personal decisions they made early in their marriage, including Perego-Saldaña choosing to adopt his wife’s surname.
Speaking to InStyle in 2015, Saldaña admitted she initially worried about how others would react to the decision.
“I told him, ‘If you use my name, you’re going to be emasculated by your community of artists, by your Latin community of men, by the world,’ ” she recalled, per CBS News. “But Marco looks up at me and says [she puts on his Italian accent], ‘Ah, Zoë, I don’t give a sheet.'”
The actress later expanded on the conversation in a Facebook post that resonated widely with fans.
As per The Hollywood Reporter, the actress said, “Fathers, sons, brothers, men everywhere: Your legacy will not perish if you take your partner’s surname, or she keeps hers.”
For fans, the Venice appearance offered a rare glimpse at two couples who have quietly built lasting relationships while navigating Hollywood careers and public attention.
Both Hayek and Saldaña have spoken over the years about prioritizing family alongside demanding film schedules, and their latest outing reflected the easy comfort of longtime partnerships.
