Captain America himself just proved he’s a real-life romantic hero.

Chris Evans has shared heartwarming new details about his proposal to his wife, Alba Baptista, and it turns out he did it in her native language. While attending the New York City premiere of his latest film, Materialists, on Saturday (June 7), the Marvel alum spoke to The Knot about the memorable moment he asked the Portuguese actress to be his wife.

“I proposed to my wife in Portuguese, she’s Portuguese, so I learned how to say ‘Will you marry me?’ in Portuguese,” Evans revealed. “I practiced so much because I was [nervous]. I rehearsed it all week! I practiced it so much that while making breakfast together, I almost started saying it unconsciously, like, ‘Oh god! That’s not just a song that’s stuck in my head. It’s going to give the surprise away.’”

Despite his thorough preparation, the actor confessed that the significant moment didn’t go perfectly. “I got really nervous when it was time to propose, and I think I might have messed it up, but I still remember it!” he noted.

Evans, 43, and Baptista, 26, were quietly engaged before tying the knot in September 2023. The couple exchanged vows during a private ceremony at Evans’ home outside of Boston, followed by a second celebration in Baptista’s home country of Portugal. The pair have kept their relationship mostly under wraps, making only a handful of public appearances since first being linked in 2022.
