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.'

Miley Cyrus responds to frustrated hecklers with surprise performance at Tribeca Festival
Miley Cyrus is all about appeasing her fans. On Friday, the Disney alum - who was celebrating the release of her new film, "Something Beautiful" at the Tribeca Festival in New York City - was greeted by hecklers during a Q&A panel after the film's premiere. In a video posted to X, Cyrus - who was joined by her producer Panos Cosmatos, and collaborators Jacob Bixenman and Brendan Walter - was speaking when a voice from the crowd could be heard saying,"We thought this was a concert! We paid $800!" Another fan yelled, "Are you actually gonna sing?!" "Sing 'The Climb'!" one member of the audience demanded. Cyrus handled the request like a professional and replied, "You have to start it." Singing a few verses, the surprise performance quickly turned into a sing-along as the crowd joined in. Fans were quick to come to the singer's defense, dubbing the hecklers as rude. "Seriously though, she is incredible for this reaction to the rude calls for her to sing. Exceptional grace," one fan wrote. "Not a Miley fan, but I respect that," another user wrote. "Tiny gesture humanized her for me. Could have easily ignored the fan/hecklers, made it awkward for everyone on stage, but turned it into a singalong… probably did more for whatever movie this is than the entire interview that's going on." "That's so f---ing annoying of the fans," another wrote. "Imagine trying to do something other than singing and nobody wants to hear anything you have to say because it's not what they want to hear. But $800 for a premiere is wild."

On Sunday, June 8, George Clooney and Amal Clooney hit New York City's Radio City Musical Hall for the 2025 Tony Awards. At the ceremony, George, 64, is nominated for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Play for his role in Good Night, and Good Luck. The performance marks the movie star's Broadway debut, For the big night, the couple stepped out in their black tie best — and George officially showed off his natural silver hair again after keeping it dyed dark for his Broadway show. Amal wore a body-hugging beaded white column gown with delicate beading draped over each arm. She carried a matching white clutch and wore her long dark hair down around her shoulders. George kept it classic in a black tux and rocked his natural silver hair with just a bit of leftover dark dye on the top. The new stage production of Good Night, and Good Luck is an adaptation of the hit 2005 political drama of the same name about CBS news journalist Edward R. Murrow's legendary 1954 exposé on Sen. Joseph McCarthy. Clooney and Grant Heslov adapted the film for the stage, and the play is directed by Tony winner David Cromer. The film version was directed by Clooney, who co-wrote the script with Heslov. The play opened at N.Y.C.'s Winter Garden Theatre on Thursday, April 3, and it runs through June 8. The actor, who colored his hair a rich shade of brunette for his Broadway play Good Night, and Good Luck, has been vocal about the major style transformation. During a Monday, June 2, appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, he shared one of the first things he planned to do after his final performance was fix his "bad" hair. "It's bad. It's still dark on top, but it's gray at the bottom," Clooney said, telling Meyers, 51, that it had been about two months since he last dyed his hair. "So you get that really nice-looking grow-out of gray." However, the Ocean's Thirteen actor promised his signature look would soon return. "The last show is Sunday. We do a matinee, and then by the time we go to the Tonys that night, it'll be gone," Clooney continued. The pair joked a bit more, with Meyers saying his guest looked sneaky in his baseball caps, as if he were 'trying to get away with something." "It really looks bad," Clooney replied. "It looks like [I'm] going through some horrible midlife crisis. I'm 64 — midlife is a little stretch." He then confessed that Amal thought his new look was "funny," but admitted she would "be glad when it's gone."

"They love being here," the actor said while appearing on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert in February. 'I mean, come on, how do you not love this? It's New York City." "Actually, a play is kind of a good schedule because you're working at night," he added. "You get to see the kids during the day, so it's okay." ! During an April appearance on CBS Mornings to promote the play, George shared that he and Amal are "having a really great time in life." Of their twins, he told host Gayle King, "Our kids are 7, about to be 8, which is a pretty great age. They're really curious and funny. Every parent thinks their kids are great — our kids are funny and make us laugh." George then recalled how he told King, 70, in a previous interview that he and Amal had never had an argument. "I remember we were here with you once before, and I remember we said we'd never had an argument. We still haven't," he said. "We're trying to find something to fight about!" "I feel so extraordinarily lucky to have met this incredible woman," added the actor. "I feel as if I hit the jackpot. There isn't a day that goes by where I don't think I'm the luckiest man in the world. So it's great." The 2025 Tony Awards will air on CBS and Paramount+ on Sunday, June 8, at 8 p.m. ET.
