Chris and Alba dating rumors take off when fans notice that Alba is following Chris and several of his family members on Instagram. People speculate that they met in the summer, when Chris was filming The Gray Man and Alba was filming Warrior Nun's second season.
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.
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.
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.
Her Portuguese mother met her father, a Brazilian engineer from Rio de Janeiro, when she worked as a translator in Brazil. In addition to her native Portuguese, Baptista speaks English, Spanish, French, and German.
