For almost two decades, which is roughly half of his life, Chris Evans has been a busy actor, appearing in multiple movies each year. However, recently, he’s been stepping back from the Hollywood scene to spend more time on other things, like being with his wife, Alba Baptista.
In October 2023, at New York Comic Con, he shared that he and Baptista had gotten married, not once but twice, in Portugal and Massachusetts. He mentioned that planning the weddings was quite a task. Now that it’s all done, they’re enjoying life together, looking forward to autumn, which happens to be Chris’s favorite season.
Even though Chris was super busy with his acting, he managed to make time for dating Baptista in between his projects, which must have been challenging. Nonetheless, insiders revealed in 2022 that the couple was serious and had been together since 2021. According to a source, they are deeply in love, and Chris couldn’t be happier. His family and friends also have great admiration for her.
Chris Evans wants to spend more time at home
In 2022, even before marrying Alba Baptista, Chris Evans started thinking about slowing down his work life. He expressed to People his desire to spend more time at home rather than constantly traveling for shoots. His main goal? To start a family.
Evans emphasized his longing for a family, stating, “That’s absolutely something I want—wife, kids, building a family.” He believes that true fulfillment comes from relationships and the love shared within a family. This sentiment echoes his previous remarks to Men’s Journal, where he expressed his eagerness to engage in family traditions, especially those centered around holidays.
He wants to enjoy the life he has built for himself
Chris Evans is scaling back his Hollywood commitments, opting for a more relaxed approach to his career. With only a few projects on his plate, he’s focusing on enjoying the life he’s built.
In an interview with British GQ, Evans expressed his admiration for Seth Rogan’s lifestyle—a balance of enjoying his work and other pursuits. He also emphasized the importance of choosing projects carefully, considering factors like the filming schedule and not wanting to miss out on precious moments like autumn.
This focus on selective work isn’t new for Evans. In 2020, he discussed with Esquire his gratitude for being able to work on projects that uplift him, emphasizing his genuine love for acting. This mindset reflects his current approach to prioritizing personal fulfillment and cherishing life’s experiences.
