Chris Evans Weds Alba Baptista in Surprise Home Wedding
The actors tried to tie the knot as privately as possible this weekend, but word got out anyway.
Chris Evans is a married man according to a new report by Page Six. Sources close to him shared the news that Evans married his long-time girlfriend, actress Alba Baptista, in a small, private ceremony at home on Saturday. The event was extremely exclusive and photos were not allowed.
Evans and Baptista have reportedly been dating for several years, but they have taken great pains to keep their private lives to themselves. It should be no surprise, then, that they invited only their closest friends and family to their wedding at home in Massachusetts on Saturday. All guests had to hand over their phones at the door and were even asked to sign non-disclosure agreements. Nonetheless, someone who was there told reporters the happy news and said that the ceremony was "beautiful."
Evans and Baptista have not commented publicly on these reports yet, nor have their reps and publicists. Evans' former MCU co-stars were reportedly in attendance including Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, and Jeremy Renner. It's not clear who else was there but Baptista has also been celebrating some professional successes after Netflix agreed to revive Warrior Nun for a series of movies. Of course, Baptista is originally from Brazil, so most of her family members would have had to come a long way to be at this event.
The 42-year-old Evans and 26-year-old Baptista first sparked romance rumors in 2021 when fans noted that Baptista had followed Evans and several of his family members on Instagram. However, it took a long time for any better evidence to emerge. In October of 2022, social media sleuths noted that Evans seemed to post a photo of the exact same carved jack-o-lanterns as Baptista's mother – an obscure but slightly more concrete connection. The next month, Evans and Baptista were photographed together in Manhattan holding hands. That same week, Evans left a flirty comment on one of Baptista's Instagram posts.
Most updates on the couple have been like this, with a few exceptions. In January, Evans made a retrospective post that included several shots of Baptista, with three heart emojis in the caption. Meanwhile, sources close to them were telling reporters that they were getting more and more serious behind the scenes. Still, considering how protective of their privacy they have been, it's no surprise that Evans and Baptista opted for a secret wedding.
