In a heartwarming revelation, Hollywood star Chris Evans, renowned for his role as ‘Captain America,’ has officially confirmed his marriage to actress Alba Baptista. The 42-year-old actor made this delightful admission during his first public appearance, which took place a month after reports surfaced about their wedding. Evans also shared the charming detail that their marital journey included not one, but two wedding ceremonies.
Speaking at the New York Comic Con on Saturday (14.10.23), Chris Evans proudly displayed his wedding ring and shared with fans, “I got married. It was really, really great. We kind of had two ceremonies. We had one on the East Coast, and we did one in Portugal – my wife’s Portuguese. But they were just wonderful and beautiful.”
The actor also candidly acknowledged the considerable effort that goes into planning a wedding, saying, “It’s a lot. For those of you who are married, you know it takes a lot out of you. But now that we’re through that, we’ve just kind of been enjoying life, gearing up for autumn – my favorite season. It’s like the best time of year right now. Now we’re just relaxing and enjoying life and reflecting.”
The couple’s journey to matrimony began with an intimate ceremony at their Boston-area home in September, as reported by Page Six. Notably, this event was held with the utmost privacy, with guests required to sign non-disclosure agreements and switch off their mobile phones. Among the attendees were Chris Evans’ Marvel co-stars, including Jeremy Renner, Robert Downey Jr, Scarlett Johansson, and Chris Hemsworth.
In a touching gesture, Chris and Alba embarked on a second wedding in Alba’s home country, Portugal. This decision allowed Alba’s family to witness the exchange of vows, further cementing their commitment to each other.
The romance between Chris Evans and Alba Baptista first came to public attention in November 2022 when People reported that they had been dating for over a year. The confirmation of their relationship coincided with photographs of the couple holding hands in New York City’s Central Park.
Their love story continued to blossom, and in February, Chris Evans took to Instagram to make their romance “official” by posting a series of images featuring the couple hiking and picking apples, a heartfelt gesture that coincided with Valentine’s Day. This confirmation of their marriage marks a beautiful chapter in their journey together.
