Despite musing that she may one day raise her kids with a woman, “Star Trek Into Darkness” star Zoe Saldana is getting close to handsome Italian artist Marco Perego, Page Six can exclusively reveal. Sources at a private party for the movie in LA Tuesday night said Saldana stuck close to long-haired Perego. One said, “They looked very close and were later seen kissing.” But another source told us, “Zoe and Marco have known each other for a while as friends. It’s too early to say they are dating.” Marco, also known as the Pirate Perego because of his long hair and resemblance to Johnny Depp, is a former professional footballer turned artist after suffering a leg injury. He moved to Spanish Harlem and worked as a busboy and waiter before his first show where he sold work to Giorgio Armani. He famously produced a 2008 sculpture of a bloody, dead Amy Winehouse titled “The Only Good Rock Star Is a Dead Rock Star.” Stunning Saldana ended her 12-year relationship with entrepreneur Keith Britton in 2011, then had a brief romance with Bradley Cooper. She said in her June Allure cover interview she doesn’t plan to have another celebrity boyfriend — “been there, done that, got the T-shirt.” She added one day she even might “end up with a woman raising my children . . . that’s how androgynous I am!” Asked whether she has had a relationship with a woman, Saldana said, “Just put three dots as my response. That’s it.” Her rep said last night, “We don’t comment on our clients’ personal lives.”
