The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 star gave birth to Cy and Bowie in November 2014, just a year after her secret wedding. Zoe and her artist husband, Marco, tied the knot with a small summer ceremony in London. While the family is notoriously private (the actress had not appeared to be pregnant when out and about in Los Angeles for the past couple of months) they opted to share the good news.

Despite her “#threeboys… oh boy!” quip, Zoe will no doubt easily adjust to having a larger family. In September 2015, the New Jersey native spoke to Hello! about being a mom, saying that it came quite easily to her. Of course, while she described her new role as "fun," she did admit, "when you have twins, you get overwhelmed quite easily and really quickly.” She continued to say, “I guess I was surrounded by way too many moms who are always like, 'Oh, I got it so hard.' And my sister was always like, 'It's a piece of cake. It's super awesome,'" the actress said. "So I stuck with her, and it's fun."
