Zoe Saldana: 'We don't want to know unborn twins' sex'

Pregnant Zoe Saldana has dismissed reports suggesting she's expecting twin boys, insisting she has no idea what gender her unborn babies will be.

The Guardians of the Galaxy star has revealed she and her husband, Italian artist Marco Perego, do not want to know what sex their babies will be until they arrive into the world, and she is currently fighting off name suggestions from her extended passionate family members.

She tells chat show host Ellen DeGeneres, "My husband is very Italian and I'm very Latina, so every day we have messages from our parents that are just like, 'It should be Rocco, Giovanni, Luigi or Antonio Ramon Jose.

"We're kinda hippy. We want it to be, like, Lavender. No, I'm joking."
