Chris Evans has become the subject of intense online speculation following a series of unverified social media posts alleging he cheated on his wife, actress Alba Baptista, with longtime friend Tara Testa. The claims, which originated from anonymous blind items shared across TikTok and X earlier this month, have since dominated online discussion despite the absence of corroborating evidence or official statements.
The rumors gained momentum when a set of blind items referred to an "A-list actor from Boston" seen "spending time with a brunette shortly after welcoming a baby with his wife." Social media users quickly linked the description to Evans, who was born in Boston, recently became a father, and has been publicly associated with Testa for years. Within hours, posts combining old photographs, speculative timelines, and unsourced claims pushed the topic into national trending lists.
Much of the speculation stems from resurfaced images of Evans and Testa attending public events together in the past. One of the most widely circulated clips shows the pair walking the Oscars red carpet in 2015, where Testa clarified on camera that she was "not his girlfriend" and described Evans as a close friend from Massachusetts. That exchange, largely forgotten for years, has been revived as supposed "evidence" by online sleuths attempting to construct a narrative of infidelity.
Most of the photos driving the conversation are years old and show no inappropriate behavior. None appear to correspond with the timeline described in the anonymous blind items. The allegations, however, have continued to multiply as users create speculative threads and fan accounts repost the material under misleading captions such as "proof" or "confirmation."
As of now, there is no verified information indicating that Evans has engaged in an affair. No credible media outlet has published a report supporting the claims, and no eyewitness accounts or documentation have emerged to substantiate the rumors. Similarly, Testa has not commented publicly, and her known relationship with Evans remains consistent with their established friendship and shared hometown ties.
Evans, 44, and Baptista, 28, married in 2023 in a private ceremony attended by family and close friends. The couple has largely kept their relationship out of the public eye, occasionally sharing brief mentions on social media but avoiding interviews about their personal life. Reports indicate that they welcomed their first child, a daughter named Alma Grace, in late 2025 in Massachusetts.
The timing of their daughter's birth appears to have fueled the viral speculation, as users drew parallels between the "postpartum wife" reference in the blind items and Baptista's recent transition into motherhood. Neither Evans nor Baptista has issued a statement addressing the online controversy, and no reputable sources have linked either to any form of marital misconduct.
