At the New York Comic Con on October 14, Chris Evans, widely known as Captain America, delighted fans by breaking his silence on his recent marriage to Alba Baptista. The actor not only confirmed the union but also proudly showcased his wedding ring, eliciting cheers from the enthusiastic audience at Javits Center.
The 42-year-old Avengers star shared details of the joyous occasion, revealing that the couple had two ceremonies to mark their nuptials. The first took place on the East Coast, followed by a second celebration in Portugal, the home country of his now-wife. Evans expressed his excitement for his wife’s Portuguese roots, enthusiastically exclaiming, “Yeah, yeah! Go Portugal!”
Describing the wedding ceremonies, Evans remarked, “They were wonderful and beautiful.” He acknowledged the challenges of wedding planning, stating, “It’s a lot, planning a wedding. It’s a lot. Those of you who are married [know] it takes a lot out of you.” However, he conveyed that having successfully navigated through the preparations, the couple is now relishing life and looking forward to autumn, Chris’s favorite season.
The actor hinted at the intimate nature of the ceremony, with reports indicating that the wedding took place at a private residence in Massachusetts in early September. The event was attended by close family and friends, including notable co-stars from the Marvel superhero films such as Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, and Jeremy Renner.
Notably, Chris Evans and Alba Baptista, who gained recognition for her role in the Netflix series Warrior Nun, managed to keep their relationship low-key. Despite being together for approximately two years, the couple never officially announced an engagement before tying the knot.
As Chris Evans proudly exhibited his wedding ring and shared insights into their dual celebrations, fans and well-wishers were quick to shower the couple with congratulatory messages.
