Just two weeks ago, the couple sat down with Drew Barrymore as they spoke candidly about their marriage.
The 45-year-old actress said that her film director husband is very much in love with her.
“It feels great, I have to say that for many years when we first got married, it was hard for me to accept it,” she said.
Zoe added: ‘There’s a part of us and women, you know, if our hearts have been broken before, where we self-sabotage a lot and then one day you just wake up and go, oh, maybe this is real. ‘
At one point, the 45-year-old director reassured his wife’s comfort, leading to a sweet moment.
“Maybe he really means to ask me if I’m okay. So I just have to say thank you. And the next step is to ask him if he’s okay,” she added.
She also admitted that they like to swim naked.
“When we’re in Europe and in the Caribbean, sometimes we forget our bathing suits and we just go for a swim,” admitted The Guardians of the Galaxy star.
They then revealed their code words for when it comes to initiating intimacy to make sure others don’t catch on.
“Oh God… and he just found a way to call sexy time like playing Legos naked,” said the mother of three.
“So at least the boys got, you know, our seniors caught it and they were like, ‘Are you guys kissing? Are you going to go out and play naked with your Legos?” And we say, “No, we don’t,” she laughed.
Marco added: ‘We can try. We play Lego naked now.’
Their relationship is bound by something even more permanent.
The couple have tattoos of each other’s faces in various places on their bodies.
She said: ‘Oh my God, his is better. I have, I have his on my torso, but because Marco looks like the Catholic version of Jesus Christo, of Jesus Christ.
‘Everybody’s like, you know, when I take my clothes off around people, they’re like, “Are you very religious?” I say, “No, why” it’s like, “Well, because you have a portrait of Jesus,” and I say, “No, that’s my husband.”
Still, the couple finds time for each other – especially when it comes to walking red carpets together like Saturday night.
