In January, Saldaña spoke toW. Magazinefor their first issue in 2025 and shared that she’s been attempting to get herthree young sons into dance.

“I’m trying. I’m not going to give up. Studies have shown that it is so therapeutic for men to take any form of dance at a very early age or throughout their lives because they carry so much tension and emotion,” she told the outlet.

“At least my twins are tapping. My younger one, he couldn’t give a s— who is dancing. He wants to be Cristiano Ronaldo; he wants to be Lionel Messi,” she continued. “But my twins are very much like, ‘Yo, girls are in there? They’re dancing hip-hop?’ And they’ll dance.”
