Chris Evans gets candid about proposal to Alba Baptista, learned Portuguese just to pop the question
Chris Evans has shared details about his engagement to Alba Baptista, revealing he proposed in Portuguese.
The 43-year-old actor attended the New York City premiere of his new film Materialists on Saturday, 7 June, where he spoke to The Knot about the moment he asked Alba to marry him.
'I proposed to my wife in, she's Portuguese, so I learned how to say 'Will you marry me?' in Portuguese,' said Evans. 'And I was so [nervous], and I had practiced all week! I had practiced it so much that, you know, while her and I, I'd be making breakfast and you, you almost just start saying it out loud, 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.''
He added, 'I got really nervous when it came time to do it and I actually think I screwed it up, but I still know it!'
Chris and Alba, who have kept their relationship largely private, were secretly engaged before marrying in September 2023. Their wedding took place at their home near Boston, followed by a second ceremony in Alba's native Portugal.
Evans is currently promoting Materialists in which he stars alongside Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal. The film is set to release in the US on June 13th.

Dakota Johnson reveals dating non-negotiable after Chris Martin breakup
Dakota Johnson has shared her must-have standard in any future relationship following her split from longtime partner Chris Martin. During a June 9 appearance on NBC's Today show with her Materialists co-star Chris Evans, Johnson, 35, was asked about one dating non-negotiable. Her response was clear and direct: 'Like, not an a–hole.' The candid moment came days after Johnson hinted at the end of her nearly eight-year on-and-off relationship with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, 48. In a previous interview with the Los Angeles Times, Johnson spoke on the emotional complexities of love and questioned societal norms around marriage and divorce. 'Why is divorce bad?' she asked. 'Why do people have to get married or at a certain age or only once?' Shortly after that interview, People confirmed that Johnson and Martin had broken up, reportedly for good. Sources close to the couple cited an age gap and differing views on having children as the primary reasons for the split. Johnson is said to have expressed interest in starting a family, while Martin, who shares two children with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, is reportedly no longer interested in expanding his family. The actress has since been seen in public without the engagement ring Martin allegedly gave her two years into their relationship. Despite their split, Martin gave a supportive nod to Johnson's film Materialists at a recent Coldplay concert, urging fans to watch it. Reps for both stars have not yet commented on the breakup. Johnson's remarks and public appearances continue to fuel discussion around modern relationship expectations in Hollywood.

Chris Martin gives shoutout to Dakota Johnson at Coldplay concert amid breakup rumours
Chris Martin has left fans speculating about the status of his relationship with Dakota Johnson after a brief but notable moment during a recent Coldplay concert in Las Vegas, Deuxmoi reports. The singer gave a public mention to Johnson's new film Materialists, just days after reports claimed the couple had ended their nearly eight-year on-and-off relationship. In a video that has since gone viral on social media, Martin addresses the audience with: 'Big love to everyone. Don't forget to see Materialists. We love you.' The clip, originally shared by gossip platform Deuxmoi, reignited discussions about whether the pair has truly split or may be quietly reconciling. The shoutout divided fans, with some arguing that the gesture could simply be respectful support. Neither Martin nor Johnson has officially commented on the current status of their relationship. During a recent appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, Johnson avoided addressing the rumours. In a past interview, Johnson described watching Martin perform as 'emotional and beautiful,' a sentiment that continues to resonate with fans tracking their journey.
