Chris Evans may be well known for his role as Captain America in the Marvel movies, but it seems he’s now getting back to his rom-com roots. The fan-favorite actor is starring in Celine Song’s Materialists, in which he plays a waiter/struggling actor who reunites with his ex. As for Evans’ actual love life, he’s married to Alba Baptista. While the actor keeps the details of that relationship close to the vest, he revealed how enthusiastic he was about the moment he proposed to her, and I’m loving it.
After allegedly dating for a year, Chris Evans and Portuguese actress Alba Baptista made their relationship Instagram official in January 2023. That confirmation was followed by cute Valentine’s Day photos. Ultimately, Baptiste and Evans married in two ceremonies held that same year, both taking place where the bride and groom respectively grew up. As for how Evans enthusiastically popped the question, he told his adorable story to The Knot at the New York City premiere of Materialists, and try not to swoon over it:
I proposed—maybe I shouldn’t even be saying this—I proposed to my wife in, she’s Portuguese, so I learned how to say, ‘Will you marry me?’ in Portuguese.
wedding ring for the first time at a convention in October 2023. I’d like to believe Alba Baptista’s future husband’s efforts won her over and showed her he was proposing with all the love he could muster.
Chris Evans’ proposal story is just another reason why I love the actor so much, and it honestly makes him feel even more relatable. Here’s hoping he and Alba Baptiste cherish that memory for the rest of their lives. At present, know that fans can check out Evans’ work in the 2025 movie release Materialists when it hits theaters on June 13th.
