There is a new love story to marvel at. Chris Evans was photographed holding hands with Portuguese actress Alba Baptista, and according to foreign media reports, the two have been secretly dating for more than a year. The couple went on a casual trip together on November 10 in New York, with Alba wearing red leggings and sneakers. Chris, meanwhile, wore a T-shirt and a baseball cap.
On Thursday, the 41-year-old Marvel star and 25-year-old Portuguese actress tried not to be spotted while walking in Central Park.
Wearing matching sunglasses and masks, the anonymous couple clings together through the crowded streets. Both actors dressed casually, with Evans wearing gray sweatpants, a black T-shirt and a black hat, while Baptista opted for bright red leggings and a beige turtleneck.
The "Captain America" actor and his new heroine seemed to notice the paparazzi at one point, as they quickly lowered their heads and let go of each other on their way out of the park. Despite their shyness on camera, a source familiar with the matter told People magazine: "They fell in love and Chris has never been happier. His family and friends loved her. ”
Still, Evans struggled to hide his feelings on social media, as he left a flirtatious comment under the actress's Instagram post on Wednesday. While promoting her upcoming Portuguese film Madame Harris Goes to Paris, the actor who starred in Snowpiercer commented on an expression of clapping hands and melting faces, which received more than 2,900 "likes" in her comment section.
While Evans may be the "sexiest man," Baptista has an equally impressive achievement. The star, who starred in "Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris," speaks five languages and does "a lot of humanitarian work" at an orphanage in Cambodia.
Despite their 16-year difference, Evans believes his age is an advantage in dating. He told reporters before the latest issue of People magazine was published: "You spend a lot of time learning what is useful and what is not."
"We all have repetitive and echoing patterns, troubles, or baggage, so I'm really able to identify where I need improvement, what's working, and knowing when to say sorry is critical to maintaining a healthy relationship."
