Chris Evans Shares Details of Proposal to Alba Baptista: ‘I Actually Think I Screwed It Up'
On Saturday, Chris Evans attended the premiere of his newest film, A24's Materialists, in New York City. During a chat with The Knot, the actor shared never-before-heard details about his romantic proposal to wife Alba Baptista. The star admitted that he wanted to ask Baptista to marry him in her native language, Portuguese, and practiced so much it was taking over his brain.
'Maybe I shouldn't even be saying this. I proposed to my now-wife in Portuguese—she's Portuguese,' Evans said. 'So I learned how to say, 'Will you marry me?' in Portuguese. And I had practiced all week.'
He continued, 'I had practiced it so much that, while her and I, I'd be making breakfast and you almost just start saying it out loud and you're like, 'Oh God.' That's not just a song that's stuck in my head, it's gonna let the cat out of the bag.'
When the moment came, Evans was 'really nervous.'
'I actually think I screwed it up,' he admitted. 'But I still know it!'
The pair have been publicly linked since November 2022, but had reportedly already been dating for a year. In 2023, news broke that they had married in a private ceremony in Cape Cod. A source told People, 'It was kind of love at first sight [for Evans]. They got serious very quickly. He kept saying he knew she was the one.'
Evans 'has been the happiest since they met,' the source added. '[She is] everything to him.'
'She is beautiful, smart and just a good person,' the insider continued. 'She is involved in charity work and truly cares about doing good. She is a very positive and happy person. It's rubbed off on him. It's the best news that they are married.'

Professional tennis player Carlos Alcaraz comes from an athletic family that includes a former tennis pro dad. A 2023 Vogue profile story on Alcaraz, 22, sketched out his family background. The Spanish tennis phenom is playing in the French Open final on June 8 against Italian Jannik Sinner.

Alcaraz was raised "in a village outside Murcia called El Palmar," Spain, which he still visits on weekends, according to Vogue. "Some 40 years ago, his great-uncle built a tennis club there, on what was a clay-pigeon shooting range," according to Vogue, which said Alcaraz's dad played professional tennis "until he couldn't afford to continue." Alcaraz told Vogue he was born "with tennis in my blood," and his dad "became the director" of the family tennis club. Alcaraz also has an older brother named Alvaro, who "played in tournaments before him" and two younger brothers who are "passionate about tennis."

Alcaraz "got his first racket at the age of four," and his father told Vogue he would cry as a kid when he had to stop playing tennis in order to have dinner. 'In my family, I think we have the sport in our blood,' Alcaraz told The New York Times. 'We all played from the time we were young.' He told "You have to be surrounded by great people. I'm a lucky guy to have such a great team. I'm going to say the best team in the tour right now,' Alcaraz says. 'But also my family, my friends are nice persons. For me, it's really, really important. As I said, doing great in tennis because of the people that I have around.'
