Chris Evans confirms marriage to actress Alba Baptista amid wedding rumors

Chris Evans is officially off the market as he has officially confirmed his marriage to Alba Baptista.

Marriage rumors have been swirling for months surrounding the acting pair after it was reported that the couple had finally tied the knot.

After reportedly meeting in 2021, Evans and Baptista apparently became more serious in 2022, with their relationship seemingly made 'Instagram official' when Evans shared his highlights from the year on social media, which included a series of pictures with Baptista.

His new relationship attracted a lot of attention - some of which was pretty negative.

Evan's brother, Scott Evans, then stepped in to criticise the way that fans have reacted to his brother's partners, also adding that their relationship was 'pretty serious'.

Reports this year recently claimed that the couple had tied the knot in a private ceremony in Massachusetts, with guests including Marvel co-stars, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner and Robert Downey Jr in attendance.

Now, Evans has confirmed that he is married to the Mrs Harris Goes to Paris actress after rocking his wedding ring during an appearance at New York Comic Con on Saturday (14 October).

Speaking to the audience at the Javits Center, Evans revealed: "I got married. It was really, really great.

"We kind of had two ceremonies. We had one on the East Coast, we did one in Portugal – my wife’s Portuguese. But they were just… wonderful and beautiful. “It’s a lot planning a wedding – for those of you who are married you know, it takes a lot out of you.

"But now that we’re through that, we’ve just kind of been enjoying life, gearing up for autumn – my favourite season.

"It’s, like, the best time of year right now. Now we’re just relaxing and enjoying life and reflecting."

What is next for Evans and Baptista remains a mystery, though the former has spoken in the past on how he would love to 'build a family'.

Before his relationship with Baptista was made public, Evans spoke about being 'laser focused' on finding a partner.

Speaking to Shondaland, Evans said: "Maybe [I’m] laser-focused on finding a partner, you know, someone that you want to live with.

"I mean, look — I love what I do. It’s great; I pour all of myself into it. But in terms of — even this industry is full of pockets of doubt, hesitation, and recalibration in terms of really trying to find someone that you really can pour all of yourself into. Maybe it’s about trying to find someone that you’re looking to spend your life with."
