Zoe Saldana Is Ready For A Bun In Her Oven

Posted byBy Stan Castle | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Zoe Saldana has recently broken up with her former actor boyfriend Bradley Cooper, but the 33-year-old actress still aspires to have a few children in the near future.

In a recent interview, Saldana talks about wanting to be a mother and the contrasts of her exes. The actress was with Hangover star Bradley Cooper for three months, but prior to that, she was with 35-year-old Keith Britton for 11 years.

Saldana explains she had baby plans but Britton’s desire to hold off for some years was difficult. “For years he wasn’t ready. Then when he got ready, I didn’t have time. I never held anything off because I was waiting for something to kick in. I don’t think that far about tomorrow,” she says.

The movie star goes on to describe the anxiety of waiting:

“I felt the urge to want to have a baby, and I wanted to, but I remember that respecting his decision- and making the decision to wait with him- was one of the most mature things. I chose to wait and I’m glad I did. I’m glad that I respected him.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
