Identical twins Cy and Bowie were born on Nov. 27, 2014, via an emergency C-section. The two boys instantly seemed to share a close bond. “They do everything together!” Saldaña said in an interview with Extra in 2017. “They sleep at the same time, they eat at the same time, they poop at the same time.”
She later told People that she loves watching her twins develop: “I couldn’t be more in awe of who they are, their natures as boys,” she said in 2017. “We put so much pressure on them. Through our nurture, we tamper so much. So I’ve been leaning in on the books, and talking to parents of boys, getting any advice from fathers and mothers that we can grab. My husband and I are sponges, because we are determined to raise happy, stress-free men.”
She also told the outlet that while she was open to having other kids come over to her house, she doesn’t let them go elsewhere — though it’s unclear if that will remain the case as the kids age. “Our kids are free,” she said at the time. “We’re rambunctious. We’re a loud family, and we don’t stop from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. And literally, we just don’t have any play dates. You can always come to our house, our doors are open. But we don’t ever want them to be exposed to negligence, or to someone getting angry with them for just being boys.”
