Fans are loving Netflix's From Scratch. The drama features Zoe Saldana in the leading role of Amy, a university graduate who decides to relocate to Italy from the US.
Upon arrival in the European country, Amy meets and falls in love with handsome chef, Lino. But how much do you know about Zoë's love life away from the show? Find out more here...
How did Zoe and her husband Marco meet?
It was reportedly love at first sight for Zoë and her husband Marco. The lovebird first crossed paths in 2013 while on a flight to New York. "I just saw him from behind. It was 6:30 in the morning, I was on a flight to New York," she told USA Today in 2015.

"I'm a very Sigmund Freud person, I'm very logical… But that — I'm OK not having an explanation for that. Because I don't need to explain that. It was enough that I felt it. And that was it."
Not long after meeting, the duo allegedly enjoyed a string of dates in Los Angeles before going on to tie the knot in September 2013 at a private wedding.
What is Marco Perego famous for?
Zoë's husband is an Italian artist and former soccer player. While growing up in Italy, he was selected to play for a professional team in Venice but he suffered a career-ending injury at the age of 21. It was then he decided to pursue his passion for art and relocated to the US.

My sisters and I grew up learning French and speaking English and Spanish, and because of that, we're able to understand Italian and Portuguese."
Where do Zoe and Marco live?
Zoë, Marco and their adorable brood live in a lavish home in Beverly Hills, California. The star purchased the property for a staggering $8.7million. It includes six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a tennis court, a swimming pool, rose gardens and a deluxe media room.

"I wanted to make sure that in addition to everything being beautiful and affordable and super artistic, I wanted it to be child-safe… I have three boys and they're going to be jumping, ripping, and biting. I also wanted it to be durable."
Sharing a glimpse inside her garden, she went on to say: "It gives them that experience of nature and growing… There's pride you take in that."
