The 45-year-old Guardians of the Galaxy star highlighted precious moments spent with her husband Marco Perego and their three children – twins Cy and Bowie, aged 9, and Zen, aged 7.
In the heartwarming video, Saldaña and Perego are seen cheering and capturing sweet selfies with their sons, set to the backdrop of Frank Ocean's song 'Lost.'

Speaking candidly to PEOPLE in October, Saldaña addressed the challenges of parenting, highlighting the importance of setting positive examples for her children. She emphasized the role of parents in guiding their children on how to react, regulate emotions, and stand up for themselves.
Saldaña also stressed the significance of teaching her sons to respect and celebrate women, as well as embracing their own emotions and feminine sides. Recognizing the cultural norms that often pressure boys to be strong and hide their emotions, Saldaña and her husband are committed to nurturing emotional intelligence and empathy in their boys.
As advocates for gender equality and women's rights, Saldaña and Perego are conscious of their role in shaping the next generation's attitudes and behaviors towards gender norms. By instilling values of respect, empathy, and self-acceptance in their children, the couple aims to raise socially aware and compassionate young men.
