Former Captain America Chris Evans revealed at a New York Comic Con panel that he is now a married man, Entertainment Weekly reported.

“I got married,” he said to resounding cheers. He thanked the crowd and added, “It was really, really great.” 

“We kinda had two ceremonies. We had one on the East Coast, and we did one in Portugal — my wife’s Portuguese,” he remarked, as he provided a few more details. He also said that he and Baptista are enjoying their downtime as newlyweds. 

The U.S. wedding was held on September 9 and was attended by Evans’ MCU co-stars, as well as old friends John Krasinski, Emily Blunt, Jaime Chung, and Bryan Greenberg. No other details have emerged regarding the wedding in Portugal. 

The newlyweds have mostly kept their relationship on the down-low. Neither did they confirm their engagement prior to getting married. 

Chris Evans is known to be quite private regarding his personal life. However, after he became People's 2022 Sexiest Man Alive, he said his future romantic prospects include a “wife, kids, building a family.”
