Wedding bells are ringing. After the Knives Out actor just got married in a surprise home wedding in Massachusetts, many fans are wondering what Chris Evans and Alba Baptista’s age gap is.
Chris Evans has been wanting to settle down for a while now. “That’s absolutely something I want: wife, kids, building a family,” Evans said during his interview forPeople’sSexiest Man Alivein 2022. “When you read about most of the best artists, whether it’s actors, painters, writers, most of them [admit] it wasn’t the work they made [that they are most proud of], it was about the relationships; the families they created, the love they found, the love they shared.” He continued: “So, it’s also something through my long 41 years that also rings true. Those things are the most important,” he said. “I love the idea of tradition and ceremony. I had a lot of that in my life, so the idea of creating that—I can’t think of anything better.”
Alba Baptista was dating Evans for more than a year before news broke of their relationship in November 2022. Photos published byPage Sixon November 10, 2022, appeared to confirm the rumors, depicting the couple holding hands during a stroll around Central Park (see thephotos here).

Chris was very open that he wanted to take his time before settling down.”
