Zoe Saldana covers Marie Claire’s August issue and in an interview with the magazine, the actress has opened up about her past relationships, approach to love and joy that her marriage brings.

Zoe has revealed that she’s not friends with her exes.

“I have been in relationships where a man has disrespected me, and I don’t need to be friends with that man anymore,” Saldana said. “I don’t want to be the one going, ‘I’m cool, because I’m friends with all my exes.’ There’s a reason why you’re called an ex. I crossed you off my list. Moving on. You cross a line, you need to know that you’re going to walk this earth knowing that there’s an individual who has no respect for you.”

Asked the biggest thing she has learned about relationships, she said: ”Not to settle. If you’re not happy with a person, leave. And wait until you find that one person who makes you feel good about yourself every single day and is not expecting you to change, but to grow.”

Zoe and her husband Marco Perego married after just a few months of dating.

“I don’t do the ABCs,” she said. “I do what my heart says, what my heart feels. So from the moment I met my husband, we were together. We knew.”
