American actor Chris Evans tied the knot with his girlfriend Alba Baptista last Saturday in an intimate wedding in Boston, Massachusetts.
According to American entertainment website Page Six, the Hollywood star, 42, exchanged vows with the 26-year-old actress in a ‘lockdown’ ceremony held at an estate.
Guests signed non-disclosure agreements, and mobile phones were forfeited.
The couple’s closest family and friends were invited as witnesses, and included in the guest list were Evans’ Marvel co-stars such as Robert Downey Jr. and his wife Susan Downey, Chris Hemsworth and his wife Elsa Pataky, and Jeremy Renner.
Power couple Emily Blunt and John Krasinski were also spotted at the ceremony.
The “Avengers” actor and the Luso-Brazilian actress first sparked romance rumours in November 2022 when a source told People that the duo had been dating for “over a year.”
“They are in love, and Chris has never been happier,” the insider said, already calling their relationship “serious” at the time. “His family and friends all adore her.”

Just hours after the news broke, the couple was spotted holding hands during a stroll in Central Park.
While little is known about the low-key couple’s relationship, Evans has proudly been flaunting his affection for Baptista online.
The “Knives Out” star was spotted leaving a flirty comment on Baptista’s Instagram post around the same time that news broke of their relationship.
The pair made their relationship Instagram official in January 2023, when Evans posted a video montage of him and Baptista taking turns to scare each other in various locations.
The following month, he posted pictures and videos of himself and Alba in honour of Valentine’s Day.
The Lisbon-born Baptista began her acting career with roles in Portuguese television and cinema.
While Evans’ successful career as a longstanding Marvel star has warranted his own accolades, Baptista has an impressive backstory of her own. The actress, whose mother is a translator, speaks five languages: Portuguese, English, German, French and Spanish.
Baptista is known for her role in “Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris” and has won awards for her work, including the European Shooting Star Award at the Berlin Film Festival and an award for Best Actress at the Festival Ibérico de Ciné for her role in the short film “Miami.”
Her English-language debut was on Netflix’s drama series Warrior Nun (2020 to 2022), where her character acquires supernatural powers and joins an ancient order of warrior nuns.
