Chris Evans eagerly anticipates an exquisite four-month summer escapade alongside Alba Baptista. The former Captain America star offered a sneak peek into his conjugal bliss with the Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris actress, confessing that they prefer to keep their love life under wraps as the season transitions into warmer climes. "We're keeping a low profile," Chris revealed in an exclusive interview with E! News at the New York premiere of his latest flick, Materialists. "We're simply savoring our moments, indulging in relaxation."
The 43-year-old actor shared the reasoning behind his and Alba's—who tied the knot in September 2023—decision to forego grandiose summer plans, emphasizing that their bond doesn't necessitate any elaborate schemes to make the season memorable. Speaking fondly of their relationship, Chris exclaimed, "It's incredible, truly wondrous." (Catch more from Chris on E! News on Monday, June 9, at 11 p.m.)
Another remarkable update in the Fantastic Four actor's recent life narrative? His upcoming movie, Materialists, co-starring Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal, which is set to hit theaters on June 13. For Chris, embodying the character of John in this romantic comedy was a decision as effortless as breathing, particularly because the screenplay was penned by Oscar nominee Celine Song. "Celine possesses a unique talent for crafting narratives that are deeply personal yet profoundly powerful, especially in their simplicity," the actor elaborated. "She demonstrates that profoundness and meaning don't necessitate an overabundance of frills or fancy."
Chris, who admitted his affection for romantic comedies, also teased that Materialists slightly strays from the genre's typical formula. "It's sort of a romantic comedy-drama, you catch my drift?" he joked. "It possesses more depth." He further elaborated, "Most romantic comedies present an overly idealistic portrayal of love, but this film offers a more authentic, grounded portrayal, less naive, because real love is chaotic and intricate."
