Although the couple was first linked in January 2022, Evans and Baptista have maintained a very private relationship. In November 2022, a source confirmed to People that they had been dating for over a year. The couple tied the knot in September 2023 during an intimate ceremony held at a private estate in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Around that time, Evans, who was named People 2022 Sexiest Man Alive, spoke about his dreams of marriage and fatherhood, though he did not mention Baptista by name. "That's absolutely something I want: wife, kids, building a family," he said.
Friends close to the actor have previously shared that Evans became serious about Baptista soon after meeting her in Europe. "He kept saying he knew she was the one," a source revealed, adding that the actor had long been ready to settle down but was waiting for the right person. "He can't wait to have a family," the insider said.
Evans has often spoken about how much he values relationships and love over fame. "When you read about most of the best artists, whether it's actors, painters, or writers, most of them admit it wasn't the work they made that they are most proud of. It was about the relationships, the families they created, the love they found and shared," he once told People.
In a November 2024 interview at the premiere of his movie Red One, Evans was asked by Access Hollywood if he thought he would be a "superhero" dad like his costar Dwayne Johnson's character in the film. With a smile, he replied, "Yeah, I hope so. Yeah, absolutely. The title of dad is an exciting one."
