But it was Italian painter Marco Perego whom she married in 2013, in a secret ceremony, with who she also had twins. But Zoe recently revealed that Marco is actually Mr Saldana and really proud of it too. She said in an interview: “I tried to talk him out of it.

Todd Fink Todd Fink, the lead singer of indie band The Faint, added the last name of his wife, singer Orenda Fink when they got married in 2005. Later, Todd explained his stance thus: “I just thought she should still be Orenda Fink... it’s easier to spell and say Fink than my name. I couldn’t think of any reason except for expectation not to change my name instead of hers. So I did. I like change.”Jack White American musician, record producer, and lead singer and guitarist Jack Gillis from The White Stripes, always had a reputation of being an eccentric.

Following many blunders — four failed marriages and a broken engagement behind him — when Lorenzo decided to marry Playmate Shauna Craig in 2011, he declared it to all and sundry that he would henceforth be known as Lorenzo Lamas Craig. Since it was his fifth marriage, he obviously wanted it to be for keeps and looking at the tender love with which he attends to his pregnant wife these days and the glow on her face, the couple seems to be in love.Jay Mohr With a failed marriage behind him, actor and stand-up comedian Jay Mohr went out of his way on his second wedding anniversary in December 2008 and gave a unique present to his second wife, Las Vegas star Nikki Cox. He filed legal papers and changed his name to Jay Ferguson Cox Mohr. The actor, who was lambasted for his recent fat shaming comments directed at Alyssa Milano, has till now managed to keep his marital boat steady and controversy-free.Jay-Z Beyonce and Grammy winning rapper Jay Z’s marriage has been in the eye of storm lately, with rumours flying thick and fast about the cracks in their relationship. But the superstar couple, that is completely besotted with their daughter Blue Ivy Carter, has held on to each other through these tough times.
