Zoe Saldaña is making waves as she reveals the deep bond she shares with Cameron Diaz. At Elle’s 2024 Women in Hollywood event at The Four Seasons, Beverly Hills on November 19th, the 46-year-old Emilia Pérez star opened up about their special relationship. She expressed how Diaz has crafted a remarkable career while maintaining a beautifully private life, and her children have affectionately called Diaz “auntie” in Spanish. Saldaña praised Diaz, saying, “Cameron, I am so happy. I’m so inspired by watching you really craft both your massive career and your beautifully private life exactly your own way.” She added, “It is an honor to know you and what a gift for my kids to call you ‘Tía,’ and I call you ‘friend.’ She shares this with her husband Marco Perego and their children Cy, Bowie, and Zen.

Friendship Over the Years

The pair have been friends for several years, and Saldaña has been by Diaz’s side for many milestone events. She was present at Diaz’s 50th birthday party, along with Diaz’s sister-in-law Nicole Richie and The Other Woman costar Leslie Mann. Last year, they even attended Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour together with Tiffany Haddish. In a video posted on Instagram by Haddish, she showed herself dancing alongside Diaz and Saldaña in a private box at the concert. Diaz could be heard asking, “Are we live? We’re live!,” while Haddish cheered on Swift saying, “Here supporting T, T. Yes, T, T, that’s Taylor. We’re here supporting our girl, Taylor – Look, she ready!”

Concert Outing and Memories

Diaz later discussed the outing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. She recalled how Saldaña suggested attending the concert the night before, saying, “Zoe Saldaña is one of my besties and we were talking the night before and she was like, ‘Should we go see Taylor Swift?’ and I was like, ‘Yeah I think we should, but how are we ever gonna get tickets?’ ” She continued, “Then Elsa Collins calls Zoe the next morning and says, ‘Let’s go,’ and we show up and Tiffany is there, who is like the biggest Swiftie ever.” These memories showcase the fun and special moments they have shared together.

Most recently, Diaz and Saldaña were both photographed attending Rob Lowe’s 60th birthday in Santa Barbara, Calif. in March.
