Chris Evans’ Ex Files: A Recap of the Stars He Dated Before Saying ‘I Do

Let’s rip off the Band-Aid real quick: Chris Evans. Is. Married. Our collective internet boyfriend has officially hung up the cape.

Captain America tied the knot with Portuguese actress Alba Baptista in a small, private ceremony in Massachusetts, and yes—there were Avengers in attendance. We’re talking full superhero RSVP energy.

But let’s rewind a bit. Because if you’ve been wondering who Chris Evans has been dating, and how we got here, the backstory reads like the most beautifully confusing celebrity dating bingo card ever.

Alba Baptista (2021 – Present)

Meet Mrs. Captain America. Alba is 16 years his junior (let’s not spiral), speaks five languages (no pressure), and somehow managed to keep their relationship relatively low-key… until the marriage headlines dropped.

Evans went Instagram official (Story-style, of course) in early 2023, casually dropping videos of them pranking each other at home. Love language: jump scares and domestic bliss.

They’ve mostly kept it quiet—Massachusetts forest vibes, dog walks, minimal Hollywood drama. But it’s serious-serious now. As in, wedding bands and long-term energy. A source literally told Us Weekly, “This is the most committed anyone can remember him being in a very long time, if not ever.” Translation: This isn’t a situationship.

Ah, the public favorite.
Funny girl meets Marvel muscle. And it worked—until it didn’t. The two met on the set of Gifted, dated for a year, and had chemistry you could bottle and sell.

Jenny later admitted she didn’t even think she was “his type.” Spoiler: she was. But the fame? Not so much. “Chris is a very, very famous person… I’m mostly a cartoon,” she told Vulture. Relatable content.

Wait, what?!
Yes, this happened. Apparently, he crushed on her since Speed, and they “hung out” for a while after meeting at a Vanity Fair Oscars party. No title, just vibes.

We’d like to live in the timeline where this one worked out.


Christina Ricci (2007)

This one was quick—a summer fling with a red carpet moment at the Met Gala. No complaints, just brief iconic energy.


Jessica Biel (2001 – 2006)

The OG Chris Evans romance.
Back when rose petals on the bed meant something and Chris was still climbing the Hollywood ladder. She once said, “He’s definitely a keeper.” Oof.

They were planning a future, talking marriage and kids. But it didn’t stick. Timing, perhaps? Or maybe Jessica got that 7th Heaven clarity.


So, Who Is Alba Baptista, Really?

Besides being fluent in five languages and starring in Netflix’s Warrior Nun, she also managed to win over the entire Evans family. That’s no small feat. She and Chris reportedly spent most of their early days at his home in Boston, away from all the chaos—and let’s be honest, that’s the dream.

And Chris? He’s been talking about wanting a family for years. “Wife, kids, building a family,” he told People in 2022, right before he was crowned Sexiest Man Alive. His most romantic quote yet?

“I love the idea of tradition and ceremony. I had a lot of that in my life. I can’t think of anything better.”
Cue the wedding bells.


So yes, Chris Evans is off the market. Emotionally, legally, romantically—done deal.

But hey, at least we had the fantasy.
RIP to all our Pinterest boards.
