Chris Evans confirms marriage to Alba Baptista, says they've been 'enjoying life' since wedding-InfoExpress
Chris Evans is in marital bliss.
The "Captain America" star, 42, confirmed on Saturday during an appearance at New York Comic Con that he's officially off the market after getting married to Portuguese actress Alba Baptista.
"I got married," Evans told Marvel fans, who responded with mass applause. "It was really, really great."
The actor revealed he and Baptista, 26, had two ceremonies, with one taking place in Portugal and another on the East Coast. "They were wonderful and beautiful," he said.
Evans and Baptista's East Coast nuptials reportedly took place in Massachusetts, Page Six and People reported in September.
Guests included Evans' "Avengers" co-stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner and Scarlett Johansson, according to the outlets.
Evans admitted to the crowd at NYCC that planning two weddings was "a lot," but since the wedding, he and the "Warrior Nun" actress have been "relaxing and enjoying life and reflecting" as a newlywed couple.
The Marvel star and Baptista have remained relatively quiet about their relationship. In November, People reported that the pair had been dating for "over a year." Their exact romantic timeline is unknown.
Evans previously discussed his desire for marriage in an interview for People's 2022 "Sexiest Man Alive" issue in November but did not disclose his relationship status.

"That’s absolutely something I want — wife, kids, building a family," he said. "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 added: "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."
