When did Chris Evans start dating Alba Baptista? Relationship timeline explored as actor shares details of romantic proposal

Chris Evans is getting candid about his romantic proposal to Alba Baptista. The couple reportedly began dating in 2021, after fans noticed that they had started following each other on Instagram. This led to growing speculation online that they were in a relationship. However, neither Chris nor Alba confirmed the same at the time.

Evans married Baptista in September 2023 in a private ceremony in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. At the recent red carpet premiere of his upcoming movie, Materialists, the actor shared his proposal story with The Knot, saying,

"I proposed, maybe I shouldn't even be saying this, to my wife in Portuguese… she's Portuguese. So I learned how to say 'Will you marry me?' in Portuguese. And I had practiced all week. I had practiced it so much that, you know, while she and I were making breakfast, you almost just started saying it out loud."

The actor got excited while remembering the moment and added,

"Oh God. That's not just a song that's stuck in my head. It's gonna let the cat out of the bag. Uh but no… I got really nervous when it came time to do it. And I actually think I screwed it up. But I still know it."

Fans loved this cute moment and called it 'adorable' and 'sweet' in the comments. The couple made their red carpet debut at the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

Chris Evans shows interest in becoming a father

In an interview with Access Hollywood, when asked if he wants to become a dad like his co-star Dwayne Johnson, who starred alongside Chris in the movie Red One, Evans replied,

"Yeah, I hope so. Yeah, absolutely. The title of dad is an exciting one."

As of now, the couple doesn't have any children. However, the couple shares a dog, Dodger. Speaking to PEOPLE, Chris Evans also revealed his plans to have another dog by saying,

"We both need a little bit of downtime for that. We've always said, 'Well, maybe we'll just go down to the shelter,' and I'm like, 'Listen, do you really think we're going to walk down there and not leave with at least one dog?' There's no way. So if we make the decision to actually walk in the door, we're walking out with one."

Director Jimmy Warden talks about Chris Evans and Alba Baptista

While the couple likes to keep their personal life away from the media spotlight, their once-in-a-while sightings are loved by the fans. Speaking to PEOPLE, Director Jimmy Warden talked about the Borderline actress, Alba Baptista, and her relationship with Chris Evans by saying,

"Sometimes you run into people, (and) you're like, 'Oh, this wasn't matchmaking.' You know what I mean? No one was pulling the string. It was just like, 'Oh, these people are exactly right for each other'"

Warden went on to praise Evans by adding,

"He's also the nicest person. And he's the coolest obviously. He's Captain America."
