Chris Evans and Alba Baptista are enjoying their lives as newlyweds. The Captain America star has confirmed his marriage to his longtime girlfriend while opening up about their nuptials for the first time.
Evans is a follower of Buddhism. He is a fan of the New England Patriots, and narrated the documentary series America's Game: The Story of the 2014 New England Patriots and America's Game: 2016 Patriots.
Popularly known for his superhero role of Captain America, Evans is not new to being in fans' demand. Throughout his journey in the MCU, he has constantly been linked with his co-star Scarlett Johansson, and they have also admitted to being best of friends.
Evans married Carol McGiffin in 1991. Their 1993 break up was not amicable and the two divorced in 1998. McGiffin was scathing about Evans in newspaper articles as late as 2003.
The rumors are true: Chris Evans and Alba Baptista are married — twice over, actually. During a panel at New York Comic-Con, the “Captain America” actor, 42, revealed that he and Baptista, 26, had two ceremonies, one in America and one in Baptista's native Portugal.
Chris Evans is enjoying life as a newlywed, and he's ready to let the world know. On Saturday, the former Avengers star confirmed to a crowd at New York City Comic Con that he recently married his girlfriend of two years, Alba Baptista, in two secret wedding ceremonies.
He added that he had a type of skin cancer called melanoma. "It's as treatable as cancer can be to the extent that they call it 'stage zero'," Evans continued. He said the mark on his leg would be removed on 14 September. "I can't run for a month afterwards so I'm going to do nothing but run until then," he joked.
Chris and his wife, Natasha Shishmanian, share twins Walt and Boo, as well as sons Eli and Noah. Natasha gave birth to their first child together in 2009. After she survived a near-fatal ectopic pregnancy the following year, the couple used IVF to conceive their son Eli.
Their actual names are Boo and Walt, Evans says. The 52-year-old former Top Gear presenter has already returned to the Breakfast show, telling listeners: “Right now, we're talking about babies. Boo and Walt.”
But when it's Chris Evans marrying a woman who is 16 years his junior, the age gap doesn't matter. Make it make sense, come on!” While some people have expressed negative opinions about Chris Evans and Alba Baptista's age gap, others have defended the couple and expressed their happiness for them.
Though they called it quits in 2006, the 7th Heaven alum had high hopes for their future together. "We always talk about [marriage]. We both want to be married, and we both want to have children," Biel told Cosmopolitan one year before her and Evans' split. She eventually tied the knot with Justin Timberlake in 2012.
Chris Evans' relationship history: Captain America star, 42, enjoyed high-profile romances with Jessica Biel, Lily James, Lily Collins, and many others before tying the knot with Alba Baptista, 26.
Divorced from actor Ryan Reynolds and businessman Romain Dauriac, Johansson has been married to comedian Colin Jost since 2020. She has two children, one with Dauriac and another with Jost.
