Chris Evans, indelibly remembered for his heroic persona as Marvel’s Captain America, has recently put down his signature shield and instead, opted for a heartwarming piece of jewelry – a wedding band. His surprise revelation came to light during his appearance at the New York Comic-Con (NYCC). For the first time in the public eye, Evans announced that he is now blissfully married to actress Alba Baptista.
“With joy, I can now rightfully say ‘I got married’,” Evans disclosed to the eagerly listening audience at NYCC. He gleefully described his recent nuptial experience as “truly magnificent.” The actor shared the private details of his dual wedding ceremony – the first one held in the scenic Portugal, a nod to Baptista’s homeland, and the second ceremony taking place on the quaint East Coast, which sources suggest was hosted last month in the serene Cape Cod.
Expressing his elation, he stated, “Our wedding ceremonies were both gorgeous and deeply memorable.” Evans added, somewhat lightheartedly, about the post-marital bliss he and Baptista are currently enjoying, “We have been loosening up, cherishing our newly married life, and taking time for introspection.”
Although he jovially admitted to the daunting task of wedding planning by saying, “It indeed is a huge task,” he also took time to share the rewarding side, “But once all that is done and dusted, life starts to feel more enjoyable.”
Evans and Baptista, romantically associated since 2021, have embarked on this new chapter of their lives following the conclusion of their memorable dual-wedding ceremony.
This joyous news surfaced just a few days after contract talks between SAG-AFTRA and the major studios and streaming platforms came to a halt due to the ongoing strike. The union, which is integral to providing support for actors and performers, has been engaged in the strike since July.
Simultaneously, the Hollywood writers who are a part of the Writers Guild of America, who had initiated their strike in May, reached an agreement on a new contract with studios and streaming platforms in September. This freshly ratified contract, which went into effect last week, has reinstated thousands of people to their respective crafts.
