This weekend in Cape Cod, Massachusetts on a “private estate,” 42 year-old Evans married 26 year-old girlfriend Alba Baptista, an actress known best from her Netflix series Warrior Nun and role in Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris (2022). But Evans and his new wife weren’t the only warriors in attendance – various Marvel Cinematic Universe friends were reportedly there to support and celebrate.

People reports that Robert Downey Jr. and wife Susan Downey, Chris Hemsworth and wife Elsa Pataky, Jeremy Renner, as well as John Krasinski and Emily Blunt “were spotted in nearby Boston” presumably for Chris Evans’ wedding!

From People’s timeline and confirmation of early romance rumors, the happy couple has been together for at least two years following Evan’s split from actress Jenny Slate in early 2018.  Here’s an adorable quote from his Sexiest Man Alive interview:

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…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.

While fans are ultimately happy that he has found love and hopefully can start the family he speaks about the internet had some reactions worth looking at.

While many people are citing their 16 year age gap and comparing the marriage to the recent divorce reports between Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner, most fans are taking the high road by sending their congratulations and playfully mourning their chances with the First Avenger.

Congratulations from Disney Dining to Chris Evans and Alba Baptista, most of our staff wishes you the best! And those of us crying in the bathroom will come around.

About Lana Porter

Lana has never lost a Disney Trivia night. Maybe it’s the hundreds of times she’s been to Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, her love for Disney’s ’90’s era hand-animated musicals, or the fact that she’s often likened to cartoon characters, but Disney and its magic have a special place in her heart. Her favorite Disney experiences include the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival, eating Mickey Bars on the PeopleMover, and crying during the Magic Kingdom fireworks show. One day she hopes to be chosen as the rebel spy on Star Tours. When Lana isn’t Park Hopping, she’s at home reading books of all topics, watching her favs on Disney+, or snuggling her two cats, which she swears are not named after Disney characters. She loves surprising people with her knowledge of the Marvel Cinematic Universe but admits she is still catching up with Star Wars. She is happy to combine her excitement for writing with her love for Disney-style storytelling and share what she can with the world!
