Chris Evans has taken Captain America’s path to happiness. However, not everyone supports the actor’s decision.
Like the fictional character he plays in Marvel’s Cinematic Universe, the Hollywood hunk is changing his armor to be with his new wife, Alba Baptista. The adorable couple recently tied the knot in an intimate ceremony on Cape Cod.
Unlike Steve Rogers’ character, the “Knives Out” star has a 16-year age gap with his partner. Although the couple seemed unaffected by the difference in birth dates, some fans were unhappy with the entertainer’s taste for a young woman.
Chris Evans’ Marriage To Alba Baptista Sends Fans Into Heated Debate About Age Gap

The lovebirds’ big day was celebrated with the 42-year-old’s “Avengers: Endgame” co-stars, including Robert Downey Jr. and his wife, Susan Downey; Chris Hemsworth and his wife, Elsa Pataky; and Jeremy Renner. The group was spotted in nearby Boston for the wedding.
Other famous faces like John Krasinski and Emily Blunt were also present at the event. According to the insider, the featured guest was “very happy, joking and smiling.” Although the audience supported the couple, fans were not on the same page.
Many may remember that the newlyweds first sparked dating rumors in January 2022 when the Portuguese actress followed Evans back on Instagram. However, it wasn’t until a year later that they went Instagram official with the Marvel star taking a risk!
There were mixed reactions to the couple’s marriage, with many bemoaning their age difference with X. Some blasted the actor for choosing a younger woman as his bride, while others screamed about double standards, claiming the internet would explode if a woman were married a younger man.
“Chris Evans has been saying he wants a family for years, then he gets a girlfriend who is 16 years younger and still of marriageable age (compared to him), the marriage seems rushed, and he’s new to the industry and just started. in his career, this is disgusting to me,” one wailed.
“What I’m saying is that when Priyanka Chopra married Nick Jonas, people called her “grandma” and all that because she was 11 years older than him. But when Chris Evans married a woman 16 years younger than him, the age gap didn’t matter .Make sense, come on!” Another disgruntled fan cried.
A third person echoed similar sentiments about the public’s inconsistent morals, writing, “Y’all defend Chris Evans and say he’s grown up, but leave it to Leonardo Decaprio; you all will understand why the 16 year age difference is strange. You all have to pick a side and stick to it.”
“People were shouting ‘HE’S 26!’ Yes, now he is. But she was only 23 years old when Chris was already 40 years old when he followed her and started chasing her,” claimed a social media user. “His bio says he can play a 16-year-old teenager because he LOOKS LIKE A TEENAGE. That is a creature that loves teenagers!!”
Criticism of Evans’ choice continued with one stating the performer would have received more backlash if he wasn’t good looking.
“It’s only natural that because he’s as famous and as ‘hot’ 16 YEARS OLD BC WOULD BE A TOPIC OF DISCUSSION IF THAT MAN WASN’T CHRIS EVANS,” the fan wrote.
Others compared the “Lightyear” voice actor’s relationship to their bond with their son. “The only thing I’ll say about the Chris Evans/Alba Baptista news is that they’re about the same age gap as me and my son (I’m 40, he’ll be 23 soon), so I find it gross as f** k and have lost a lot of respect for Evans,” the individual wrote.
Some Believe Captain America’s Stars Are Not Predators
While many criticized the “Not Another Teen Movie” actress for walking down the aisle with Baptista, others supported the entertainer’s decision. In his defense, this devotee stated that the age difference was not a problem because the couple were two consenting adults.
A fan brought evidence of the 42-year-old’s morals, revealing the TV personality’s dating history shows no sign of favoring younger women. The individual’s message read:
“Y’all make Chris Evans look like he’s a predator for marrying someone younger than him…men’s dating history has always been with women close to his age, no pattern here, he’s no Leonardo Dicaprio. Besides, the woman is an adult.”
Another wondered, “Why are so many people mad at the age difference between Chris Evans and Alba Baptista? You do realize they met as consenting adults???? There is nothing wrong with it. Aaron Taylor and his wife, on the other hand, are a fine example of grooming. He was not yet 18 when they met.”
“Are people really bashing Chris Evans because he’s a 42-year-old consenting adult married to Alba Baptista, a 26-year-old consenting adult?” The third person wondered.
The fan continued, “The only time you have to worry about other people’s age differences is if someone is underage. If not, get out. You don’t know them.”
