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.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
