Chris Evans is facing an unexpected wave of public scrutiny just weeks after welcoming his first child with his wife, actress Alba Baptista. The allegations, driven largely by anonymous "blind item" posts and amplified by TikTok commentary, have ignited widespread speculation without formal evidence or comment from the couple.
The rumors emerged in early November through Blind Items, anonymous submissions often circulated in celebrity gossip circles. One post referenced a married A-list actor from Boston reportedly seen with a brunette at a Back Bay bar known for its strict no-photography culture.
Social media users quickly identified Evans as the implied subject, citing his Massachusetts roots and recent entry into fatherhood. Another blind submission claimed the same actor continued seeing the woman and had altered his routine to avoid attention.
TikTok user @celebritea.blinds highlighted two such posts on November 2 and November 5, drawing direct attention to Evans. The speculation spread rapidly across X and TikTok, where users debated whether the narrative fit long-standing rumors circulating in Evans' fan communities.
One widely shared post read: "With his girl best friend who his whole town knows he's been hooking up with for years! Like why not just be with her instead of baby trapping a woman half your age?" The user continued: "Chris Evan's is such a loser goddamn."
The accusations quickly polarized fans. Some dismissed the allegations as baseless, arguing that blind items have no accountability or sourcing. Others claimed that the alignment of details across posts and platforms gave the story more credibility. Neither Evans nor Baptista has issued a public response, and representatives for both declined to comment. The pair has remained inactive on social media since the rumors began trending.
The timing of the controversy has heightened the public's reaction. Evans and Baptista welcomed their first child in October, following a private Cape Cod wedding in September 2023. The couple's relationship had drawn positive attention, particularly as Baptista - a 28-year-old Portuguese actress known for Warrior Nun, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris, and Borderline - gained international recognition and received the Shooting Star award at the Berlin Film Festival in 2021.
