In a surprising twist, Hollywood's former bachelor, Chris Evans, tied the knot with actress Alba Baptista last September, catching Captain America fans off guard.
Despite the high-profile union, the wedding was shrouded in secrecy, with both celebrities and guests bound by a confidentiality contract to keep the romantic event under wraps.
While initial details were scant, Chris Evans recently shared more insights into the significant moment during an interview at the New York Comic Con.
The actor revealed that he and Baptista had two ceremonies, one on the East Coast in the U.S. and another in Portugal, given his wife's Portuguese heritage. Describing the experience as "really great," Evans opened up about this personal milestone.
The guest list for the covert wedding read like a Hollywood A-list gathering, with attendees such as Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Emily Blunt, and John Krasinski—all colleagues from The Avengers. To maintain the event's privacy, guests were required to sign confidentiality agreements and were prohibited from using cell phones.
The clandestine nature of Evans and Baptista's relationship was revealed in late 2022 when People disclosed that the couple had been dating for a year but opted to keep their romance low-key. Sources noted the seriousness of their connection, emphasizing the happiness Evans found in the relationship.
Speaking about his contentment at the time, Evans expressed his desire for a family, describing it as a crucial life plan. He envisioned a future with a wife, children, and the joy of building a family.
For Evans, the most fulfilling aspects of life centered around relationships, echoing sentiments shared by many accomplished artists who cherish the bonds, families, and love they create and share.
