Chris Evans and Alba Baptista Secretly Tie the Knot in Massachusetts (with Loads of Superhero Guests)

Captain America gets hitched

Chris Evans, 42, reportedly swapped the superhero suit for a tuxedo this past weekend, when he secretly tied the knot with his girlfriend, Alba Baptista, 26, at an intimate ceremony in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

The news was first reported by Page Six, where they said the couple wed on Saturday, September 9, near Evans's hometown of Boston. Apparently, phones were locked up and guests were required to sign NDAs, resulting in the details of the ceremony being kept hush-hush.

However, while we might not know much about the Cape Cod nuptials, we learned from People that the guest list included a few of Evans’s co-stars from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

According to the outlet, a number of superhero movie stars were spotted in the area this past weekend, including Robert Downey Jr. and his wife, Susan Downey, Chris Hemsworth and his wife, Elsa Pataky, as well as Jeremy Renner.

Meanwhile, both Emily Blunt and John Krasinski were also spotted in the area (only a day after the pair took their daughters to the US Open).

Baptista (who is also an actress) and Evans have been together for nearly two years now, but their relationship wasn't confirmed until November 2022.

At the time, a source told People that the couple had been together for over a year and things were “serious.”

“They are in love and Chris has never been happier,” the source added. “His family and friends all adore her.”

It is unclear how the couple first met, but in the past year, Evans has given a few glimpses of their relationship on Instagram (that us, until he deactivated his account in June 2023).
