Chris Evans, a.k.a. America’s Sweater-Wearing Boyfriend™, just revealed how he proposed to his now-wife, actual goddess on Earth Alba Baptista — and y’all, it’s giving international telenovela realness.
Picture this: Chris, age 43, peak handsomeness, waking up in Boston, flipping pancakes while mumbling “Queres casar comigo?” over and over like a man possessed — which, spoiler alert, means “Will you marry me?” in Portuguese and not a spell from Hogwarts, though it kinda worked like one.
In a wildly charming overshare at the NYC premiere of his new movie Materialists (which we assume is about very expensive emotional damage), Chris told The Knot that he basically downloaded Duolingo Premium for love. 💚🦉 “I practiced so much I was accidentally whispering it while making eggs,” he confessed, fully living his rom-com main character moment. “I thought I’d say it smoothly, but I panicked and probably said something like ‘Do you want to furniture with me forever?’”
Chaos? Yes. Cute? Absolutely. Did it work? OBVIOUSLY. She said yes, cried (probably), and they got hitched in not one but TWO weddings because one wedding isn’t enough when you’re this level of elite. The first was at their super secret Boston base, and the second was a fairy tale moment back in Portugal, where they presumably rode away on a pastel de nata-powered Vespa.
Moral of the story? If Captain America can butcher Portuguese mid-proposal and still get the girl, there is hope for the rest of us sweaty, nervous love muffins. ✨
Somewhere, the ghost of a Portuguese grandma is weeping joyful tears into her bacalhau. 🇵🇹💘
