The Captain America star has been in a long-term relationship with 26-year-old actress Alba Baptista—and the couple recently made it official by saying “I do” in a secret Massachusetts ceremony. This may come as no surprise to fans.
On November 10, People's newest Sexiest Man Alive Chris Evans revealed that he has been dating 26-year-old actress Alba Baptista for at least a year and “it's serious,” according to a source, who added,“They are in love, and Chris has never been happier. His family and friends all adore her.”
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.
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.

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.

“My girlfriend that I've had for a while, when we began dating”—a couple months after we spoke, Evans and his girlfriend, Alba Baptista, got married—“I was like: 'Yeah, I do one movie a year. I try to never work now. ' And then, after like a few months of dating, boom, guess what? We're living in Atlanta for a year.
