Zoe Saldana is able to give her husband support and love because it is in her nature

She said: "We give each other a great deal of support and love but it wasn't because we found it in each other, we came that way and then got together.

"That's what I love about it. I do believe whatever's meant to be will be - but had the universe said, 'Let's just wait, he's going to come into your life later', I would've been fine on this journey I was on just knowing who the f**k I was."

The 36-year-old beauty admits she feels more "beautiful" now she has stopped worrying about her appearance so much and works out less.

She explained to Women's Health magazine: "This past year I've had to start letting go.

"My body dictated it as if saying, 'Slow the f**k down!'. And I struggle with that. I love to be an athlete.

"I've learnt to listen to myself, so whenever I don't feel like doing anything that starts with 'I should' then I don't.

"My body is less toned. I do look in the mirror and see things I don't want. My first reaction is I breathe and I think, 'I'm a woman, I'm 36, my body is changing'.

"I'm exactly where I want to be. I do feel beautiful in a way that even when I was working out a whole lot, I sometimes didn't."
