They’ve kept their relationship low-key since first being spotted together in November 2022.
Yet Chris Evans and wife Alba Baptista chose a global stage to make their red carpet couple debut as they attended the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty on Sunday.
The couple – who tied the knot in September – looked smitten as they cuddled up to another, with Chris, 42, lovingly placing an arm around Alba’s waist.
Alba, 42, was a vision of beauty on the outing in a long white gown with a black low-cut bodice.
She added to the glamour with an extravagant diamond choker, while a slick of scarlet lipstick added a pop of colour to the look.

Chris looked dapper for the occasion in a tailored scarlet trouser suit and patent black brogues.
The Marvel star and Alba mainly keep their relationship out of the public eye, and first sparked romance rumors back in 2021 when Baptista followed the Marvel star on social media, as well as some of his family members.
The following year in November 2022, the two spent quality time together while holding hands during a relaxing outing in NYC.
That same month, a source informed People that they had already been dating ‘for over a year and it’s serious.’
The insider continued, ‘They are in love and Chris has never been happier. His family and friends all adore her.’
During an interview with People at the time, the Captain America actor expressed that he felt ‘content’ in terms of his personal life.
In January 2023, Chris publicly confirmed his relationship with Alba while taking to his main Instagram page to share an adorable video of the pair.
And later in September, Page Six reported that the couple said ‘I do’ during an intimate ceremony in Cape Cod.

Celebrity guests included Jeremy Renner, Robert Downey Jr. and also Chris Hemsworth. The nuptials were ‘locked down tight’ and attendees had been asked to ‘sign NDAs and phones were forfeited.’
The pair then held a second ceremony in the actress’s home country of Portugal.
In October 2023, following the two ceremonies, Chris himself confirmed that he had tied the knot while at Comic Con in NYC.
‘It was really, really great. We kinda had two ceremonies. We had one on the East Coast. We did one in Portugal. My wife’s Portuguese. Yeah, go Portugal!’ he told the audience during a panel at the event.
‘They were wonderful and beautiful. It’s a lot planning a wedding. For those you who are married, it takes a lot out of you.’
Oppenheimer won a whopping seven Oscars at Sunday night’s Academy Awards – while rival Barbie only won one.
Meanwhile Emma Stone led Poor Things to an impressive four including her Best Actress win and UK film The Zone Of Interest won two at the gala event held at The Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California.
The historical epic directed by Christopher Nolan swept the major categories with wins for Best Actor Cillian Murphy, Best Supporting Actor Robert Downey Jr. and Nolan – with the film also winning Best Picture.
In September 2023, Page Six reported that the couple said ‘I do’ during an intimate ceremony in Cape Cod, followed by a second wedding in Portugal
In contrast, Barbie, who memorably won against Oppenheimer in the ‘Barbenheimer’ box office showdown over the summer, walked away with just one award for Best Original Song for What Was I Made For? by Billie Eilish and Finneas McConnell.
Downey Jr. jokingly thanked his ‘terrible childhood’ as he finally won an Oscar for his portrayal of Lewis Strauss, was delighted as he took to the stage – after host Jimmy Kimmel made a very awkward quip about his drug use.
The veteran actor – who has acted for over five decades – took home the Academy Award over stiff competition including Sterling K. Brown, American Fiction, Robert De Niro, Killers of the Flower Moon, Ryan Gosling, Barbie, and Mark Ruffalo, Poor Things.
Oppenheimer won seven awards in total – as well as Best Actor for Cillian Murphy, Best Supporting Actor, Best Director for Christopher Nolan, and Best Picture, it won Original Score for Ludwig Göransson – along with cinematography and achievement in film editing.
Al Pacino announced Oppenheimer as the Best Picture winner without bothering to name all the other nominees.
After the two films were released on the same day – July 21 – Barbenheimer gripped film fans who made an event out of going directly from the screening of one to the other.
Barbie was the highest-grossing movie of the year on both the domestic ($636.2 million) and worldwide ($1.445 billion) box office charts.
Oppenheimer took fifth place ($326.1 million) on the domestic box office charts and third place ($957.8 million) on the worldwide charts.
Meanwhile Emma, 35, powered through a wardrobe malfunction as she beat out an impressive field including favorite Lily Gladstone from Killers Of The Flower Moon in addition to Annette Bening, Nyad, Sandra Huller, Anatomy of a Fall, and Carey Mulligan, Maestro.

As Emma was walking on stage she signaled that there was something wrong with her dress as she quickly acknowledged it during her emotional acceptance speech.
She said: ‘Oh, boy. My dress is broken. I think it happened during I’m Just Ken. I’m pretty sure. Oh, boy, this is really — this is really overwhelming. Sorry, I’m — okay, my voice is also a little gone. Whatever.’
Da’Vine Joy Randolph emotionally kicked off the Oscars as she broke into tears as she earned the coveted Actress in a Supporting Role for The Holdovers.
The talented 37-year-old actress beat out stiff competition including Emily Blunt, Oppenheimer, Danielle Brooks, The Color Purple, America Ferrera, Barbie, and Jodie Foster, Nyad.
