Chris Evans has confirmed that he and Alba Baptista are indeed married and have had two "wonderful and beautiful" weddings together.
Evans, best known for his role in the Avengers franchise, radiated newlywed happiness as he made an appearance at the New York Comic Con 2023, marking one of his first public outings since tying the knot with the Portuguese actress earlier this September, as reported by People.
The 42-year-old actor, still basking in the post-wedding glow, gave fans a glimpse of his wedding band while confirming his recent nuptials for the first time.
He spoke about the two wedding ceremonies that took place, one in Portugal and the other at a private residence in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, both described as "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," Evans shared with the audience. "But now that we're through that, we've just been enjoying life, gearing up for autumn, my favorite season. Now we're just relaxing and enjoying life and reflecting."
At the start of their romance, the pair discreetly started following each other on Instagram, signaling the beginning of their relationship. This subtle connection quickly intensified as they began spending quality time together in public, despite their hectic schedules.
It wasn't until November 2022 that the pair was spotted strolling through Central Park, with insiders confirming that they had been dating seriously for over a year. A source revealed at the time: "They are in love, and Chris has never been happier. His family and friends all adore her."
Evans, who was awarded People's Sexiest Man Alive title in the same month, didn't shy away from expressing his desire for a lasting commitment.
In an interview with People, he said: "That's absolutely something I want - wife, kids, building a family. When you read about most of the best artists, whether it's actors, painters, writers, most of them [admit] it wasn't the work they made [that they are most proud of], it was about the relationships, the families they created, the love they found, the love they shared."
He continued: "So it's also something through my long 41 years that also rings true. Those things are the most important. I love the idea of tradition and ceremony, I had a lot of that in my life, so the idea of creating that, I can't think of anything better."
However, in order to maintain their privacy, Evans and Baptista implemented strict rules for their wedding guests. Attendees were required to sign non-disclosure agreements before entering the celebration, and they had to relinquish their phones upon arrival.
Congratulations to the happy couple!
