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.'
