Zoe Saldana is one busy lady! The actress – who stars in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 – announced yesterday that she had welcomed her third child, a baby boy named Zen, with hubby Marco Perego.

Little Zen joins his big brothers, twins Cy and Bowie, as part of the Zoe’s gorgeous family.

The star took to social media to announce the happy news, sharing a sweet photo of her older boys looking on adoringly at their younger sibling.

“Marco and I are elated to share the news of the birth of our son Zen. We couldn’t feel more blessed with the new addition to our family,” she wrote. “#threeboys … oh boy!”

The news has come as a surprise to many, as Zoe has not previously made any announcements confirming that the family would be growing, and she was photographed out at an event on February 16 looking just as trim and toned as ever.

Cy and Bowie were born on November 27th, 2014. Zoe wed Marco, an Italian artist and ex-soccer player, in a secret wedding ceremony in London in 2013.

While the star is happy to share glimpses into her family life on social media, she has previously spoken out about her decision not to show her children’s faces as she believes that’s a decision they can make for themselves when they’re older.

“It has to do with respecting who they are. They’re too young to tell me how they would feel. They don’t know if they’re comfortable with that. It’s too violating,” she said.

“I can share them to the point that my husband and I are comfortable. I’ve never felt the impulse to show their faces. The trolling online is pretty disgraceful. I’m giving them a chance to have their own life.”
