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 and Chris Martin split after nearly 8 years together
Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin have broken up once more, bringing an end to their nearly eight-year, on-and-off relationship. Sources have confirmed to PEOPLE that the split feels 'final this time.' Representatives for both stars have yet to comment on the matter. The actress and the Coldplay frontman were first linked romantically in 2017 and had been engaged for several years, although they were never in a rush to marry. Engagement rumours had first surfaced in 2020, but it was later revealed that they had been engaged for a while before confirming it publicly. The couple had appeared publicly together as recently as May 2025, when they were photographed in Malibu. Earlier in January, they were also seen in India, where Martin was touring with Coldplay. Despite ongoing breakup rumours in 2024, the couple had been spotted together in various locations, showing no signs of a split at the time. Although their relationship had its ups and downs, the couple seemed to be in a good place before the latest breakup, leaving fans wondering what comes next for the pair. Dakota Johnson, who stars in Materialists, opens up about her perspective on relationships in a recent interview, challenging traditional views on marriage and divorce.
