Chris Evans, the beloved star of Marvel’s Captain America and one of Hollywood’s most sought-after actors, has long captured the attention of fans—not just for his on-screen roles, but for his personal life.
Known for keeping his relationships relatively private, Evans has been linked to a number of high-profile women over the years. Here’s a timeline of his notable romances, culminating in his recent and relatively private marriage to Alba Baptista.
Jessica Biel
Before becoming Captain America, Chris Evans had a significant relationship with actress Jessica Biel (The Illusionist, 7th Heaven). The two began dating in 2001 and were together for five years, during which they frequently appeared on red carpets and spoke openly about their future together.
Biel even mentioned in interviews that they had discussed marriage and starting a family. However, the couple called it quits in 2006, citing busy schedules and differing life paths as reasons for their split. Despite the breakup, both actors have continued to speak highly of each other in interviews.
Minka Kelly
In 2007, Evans was rumored to be dating Minka Kelly (Friday Night Lights, The Roommate), though their relationship didn’t become official until years later. The two reportedly rekindled their romance in 2012 and were spotted together on multiple occasions, sparking speculation about a reunion.
However, their relationship remained on and off until they ultimately parted ways in 2014. While neither Evans nor Kelly commented extensively on their time together, fans were captivated by their chemistry and the possibility of reconciliation.
Jenny Slate
One of Evans’ most talked-about relationships was with actress and comedian Jenny Slate (Obvious Child, Big Mouth). The two met on the set of the 2017 film Gifted, where their on-screen connection quickly turned into a real-life romance.
Slate and Evans dated for about a year, from 2016 to early 2017, before parting ways amicably. Despite their breakup, the two seemingly continue to speak fondly of their time together.
Alba Baptista
Evans’ most recent relationship is with Portuguese actress Alba Baptista (Warrior Nun, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris). The couple began dating in 2021 but kept their romance under wraps until late 2022 when Evans confirmed the relationship in an interview.
Baptista, 26, is 16 years younger than Evans, but the two share a close bond and were spotted traveling together and enjoying time with each other’s families. In September 2023, the couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Massachusetts, surrounded by close friends and family, including many of Evans’ Marvel co-stars.
Conclusion
Now happily married to Alba Baptista, Chris Evans seems to have found his match. While the actor has expressed a desire to take a step back from the spotlight to focus on his personal life, fans continue to celebrate his happiness and eagerly await his next move—both on and off-screen.
