Actress Zoe Saldana is taking on a new role: wife. The star, whose celebrity status has been boosted by the runaway success of the record-smashing flick “Avatar” and her role in the reboot of iconic sci-fi franchise “Star Trek,” is engaged to her boyfriend of 10 years, Keith Britton. A rep for the actress confirmed the news to Us Weekly.
Although the actress and her beau have been together for a decade, the starlet has largely kept quiet about her relationship with Britton, the CEO of the website My Fashion Database. She has, however, spoken frankly about her sensual side.
“Love it, love it, love it — can’t live without it! I love sex,” Saldana said in the April 2010 issue of Essence magazine. “I love skin. I don’t believe the body is something to hide.”
While Saldana’s star has risen over the past few years with a slew of hit movies, she has mentioned that she and Britton deliberately try to keep their relationship out of the spotlight.
“We travel a lot, which keeps things alive. We’re very private. It’s worked for 10 years — long enough to go to hell and back,” Saldana told Glamour magazine earlier this year. The actress also opened up about where she would like to be in another 10 years. “I want to be the best daughter, sister, friend and wife I can possibly be,” said Saldana. “Because when I die, I am not going to be buried with my Oscar. I want to love life.”
