Zoe Saldana Breaks Silence on Wedding (VIDEO)
Zoe Saldana is finally talking about her wedding six months after she married Marco Perego.
The "Avatar" star quietly married Perego, an artist, back in June, but refused to acknowledge questions about her wedding or her emerald engagement ring.
Despite her longstanding silence, Saldana had a change of heart while on the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" show on Tuesday where she admitted to being married and even divulged details about the wedding.

"Congratulations! You got married since the last time I saw you," the show's host, Kimmel, said once Saldana had taken her seat on the show.
"I did," the actress replied. "Thank you, thank you. And congratulations to you too. You got married."
Kimmel married Molly McNearney during a star-studded ceremony in July and thanked Saldana for her congratulations before joking, "It's not a competition though. We don't need to just go around getting married."
Saldana went on to ask the show's host where he got married, to which he replied Ojai, Calif. before he asked Saldana the same question.
Smiling coyly, Saldana revealed that she got married in England.
"I did it in England," said the actress. "Can you top that?"
"Uh, no," said Kimmel.
"So it is a competition I guess," the actress retorted laughingly.

Meanwhile, Saldana and her husband remain low-key and are seldom spotted out together in public. Last month, the actress attended the 7th Annual Hamilton Behind the Camera Awards solo.
However, just days before, the actress and Perego were spotted in Beverly Hills in similar plaid shirts and jeans when the Italian artist revealed a tattoo portrait of his new wife on his arm.
It is believed that Saldana was first romantically linked to her longtime friend Perego in May after they were spotted kissing at the "Star Trek Into Darkness" premiere, according to Us magazine.
"It was a super small but very romantic and beautiful," a source said of the wedding, according to the magazine. "[They've] known each other for a long time."
Saldana, born Zoe Yadira Zaldana Navario, is said to be Dominican Republic and Puerto Rican. The actress got her first big break in 2000's "Center Stage," and she has since starred in "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Blood Ties," among many others.
Next year, the actress will appear in films "Infinitely Polar Bear," "Guardians of the Galaxy," "The Book of Life," and is rumored to be connected to the highly anticipated "Avatar Two."
