In a recent revelation that has left fans and the entertainment industry buzzing, Chris Evans, the renowned actor best known for his role as Captain America, confirmed his marriage to actress Alba Baptista. The announcement was made during his panel at the New York City Comic Con, where Evans proudly sported a gold wedding band and shared details about the couple's intimate ceremonies.
"I got married," Evans enthusiastically told the audience at the Javits Center. "It was really, really great. We kinda had two ceremonies. We had one on the East Coast. We did one in Portugal. My wife's Portuguese. Yeah, go Portugal!" The actor's joy was palpable as he spoke about the dual celebrations, highlighting the significance of both locations to the couple.
While this was the first time Evans publicly discussed his marriage to Baptista, rumors about their union had been circulating for some time. Us Weekly had previously confirmed in September that the duo had tied the knot in Massachusetts, even though they had never made a public announcement regarding their engagement.
The couple's relationship timeline traces back to 2021 when Baptista began following Evans and some of his family members on Instagram. Their first public appearance as a couple was in November 2022, where they were spotted hand-in-hand in New York City. Their bond was further solidified when Evans made their relationship Instagram official by sharing a compilation video of playful moments between the two. The video, captioned "A look back at 2022," was adorned with heart emojis, signaling the depth of their connection.
Sources close to the couple have consistently highlighted the seriousness of their relationship. "Chris and Alba have gotten serious," a source informed Us Weekly. "This is the most committed anyone can remember him being in a very long time, if not ever." The couple's preference for a low-profile romance was evident as they spent most of their time at Evans' residence in Massachusetts, cherishing the tranquility and privacy it offered.
Evans' admiration for Baptista was further showcased when he shared personal photos of the two on Valentine's Day in 2023. The pictures depicted the couple sharing intimate moments, from kisses to adventurous dates, painting a picture of a deep and genuine connection.
Before his relationship with Baptista, Evans had expressed his desire to find a life partner in various interviews. "I mean, look - I love what I do. It's great; I pour all of myself into it. But in terms of - even this industry is full of pockets of doubt, hesitation, and recalibration in terms of really trying to find someone that you really can pour all of yourself into," he shared in a 2022 interview with Shondaland.
Evans' journey to finding love and commitment with Baptista has been heartwarming for fans and well-wishers. As the couple embarks on this new chapter, the entertainment world watches with bated breath, eager to see more of their love story unfold.
