Chris Evans, the beloved actor known for his iconic superhero roles, was a long-standing eligible bachelor, much to the delight of his admirers.
However, the hopes of fans were dashed just over a month ago when news broke that the actor had secretly tied the knot with his girlfriend, Alba Baptista. While initial details were scarce, 'Captain America' himself has now publicly confirmed his marriage and shared insights into the wedding, or should we say weddings.
Chris made a noteworthy appearance at New York Comic Con last weekend, marking one of his first public outings since celebrating his nuptials in early September. The 42-year-old actor exuded happiness and the unmistakable radiance of a newlywed. His wedding ring was a prominent detail that did not go unnoticed.
Despite his usual discretion about his personal life, Chris decided to make an exception this time, opening up about his recent marriage. He shared with a wide grin, "On a little more personal note: I got married." This announcement was met with enthusiastic applause from the audience. He went on to provide more details: "And it was really wonderful; we had two ceremonies, one on the East Coast and one in Portugal, as my wife is Portuguese." While the initial wedding in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, was known, the Portuguese celebration came as a surprise.
Evans acknowledged the intricate planning involved in a wedding, saying, "Planning a wedding is a lot of work. For those of you who are married, you know it can be quite taxing." He continued, "But now that it's all behind us, we're embracing life, looking forward to the fall – my favorite season. We're just taking it easy, savoring life, and reflecting."
A Low-Key Love Story
Although Chris and Alba officially began dating in January 2022, the exact onset of their romance remains a private affair. They consistently kept their relationship out of the public eye. By November 2022, sources confirmed that the couple had been together for over a year, stating, "They are deeply in love, and Chris has never been happier. Her family and friends adore her," shared an insider.
Chris had always been forthright about his aspirations to settle down and start a family, even before he revealed the name of his girlfriend. Around the same time, he expressed his desire, stating, "That's absolutely something I want: a wife, kids, and starting a family. When you read about most of the greatest artists, be they actors, painters, writers, most of them admit that it wasn't the work they did (that they are most proud of), but the relationships; the families they created, the love they found, the love they shared."
