Chris Evans has shared details about his engagement to Alba Baptista, revealing he proposed in Portuguese.
The 43-year-old actor attended the New York City premiere of his new film Materialists on Saturday, 7 June, where he spoke to The Knot about the moment he asked Alba to marry him.
“I proposed to my wife in, she’s Portuguese, so I learned how to say ‘Will you marry me?’ in Portuguese,” said Evans. “And I was so [nervous], and I had practiced all week! I had practiced it so much that, you know, while her and I, I’d be making breakfast and you, you almost just start saying it out loud, like, ‘Oh god! That’s not just a song that’s stuck in my head. It’s gonna let the cat out of the bag.’”
He added, “I got really nervous when it came time to do it and I actually think I screwed it up, but I still know it!”

Chris and Alba, who have kept their relationship largely private, were secretly engaged before marrying in September 2023. Their wedding took place at their home near Boston, followed by a second ceremony in Alba’s native Portugal.
Evans is currently promoting Materialists in which he stars alongside Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal. The film is set to release in the US on June 13th.
