The star earlier flaunted his undisputed sex appeal on the cover of the magazine's latest issue, while opening up on how he felt about being bestowed the title a second time. While it is clear that Evans has never been married, the star has been in some high-profile relationships, but to a great extent, he has been more under the radar when it comes to flaunting his romance.

Is Chris Evans Dating?

The Marvel icon seems more or less tight-lipped about the leading lady in his life, although he doesn't mind PDAs from time to time. However, inside sources have confirmed that he is dating Portuguese actress Alba Baptista. While the news of his love life only recently became popular among fans, Evans and Baptista have been an item for over a year. The insider also noted that they are pretty much serious about it. The source stated that the pair were in one and Baptista was loved by Evans' family. The duo has a 16-year age difference between them with the Lightyear actor being 41, and the Warrior Nun actress being 25.

Who Is Alba Baptista?

The Portuguese actress started her career by taking up roles in local movies, including, A Impostora, Jardins Proibidos, and Jogo Duplo. She increased her acting expertise with more famous movies like Warrior Nun, Mrs. Harris Goes To Paris, Leviano, and Nothing Ever Happened. Baptista has impressive language versatility as she is known to speak five languages.

It is safe to say that she owes this incredible feat to her father who is a translator. The 25-year-old is known for her humanitarian service at a Cambodian orphanage in her bid to focus on education. Last year, Baptista was honored with a Shooting Star award at the Berlin Film Festival.

Evans Longs To Start A Family Someday

While speaking with People on his Sexiest Man Alive title, Evans made his intentions known about what he loved to do at a stage in his life. The Captain America actor shared that starting a family was something he desired. The actor opened up about how family resonates a crucial part in the lives of stars. He added for good measure that he wanted a wife, and wanted to build a family. Evans categorically stated:

"When you read about most of the best artists, whether it's actors, painters, 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, the love they shared." 

On His Romantic Life

On his romantic life, Evans shared that just like wine, his idea of being a romantic partner has improved over the years. The actor reflected on spending a lot of time figuring out what was helpful in the relationship as opposed to what wasn't. He acknowledged the presence of hang-ups and patterns with individuals as well as baggage.

The movie star noted to this effect that, he has been able to identify his, and also get familiar with what needed improvement. Evans has also figured out the value and strength of apologizing in terms of wrongdoings.
