This week, it was revealed that the pair had married in secret, with Marvel alumni Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, and Jeremy Renner all receiving invitations.
It was an ‘intimate ceremony’ at their house near Boston, according to Page Six.
In order to prevent information from being leaked to the press, visitors were allegedly required to sign confidentiality agreements.
That did a lot of good, didn’t it?
Fans swarmed social media with pleasure at the couple’s marriage and despair that Captain America was officially off the market once the news broke.
Others, on the other hand, appear to be more split.
Age differences in Hollywood marriages are nothing new (just look at Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones), but some think there is a double standard when it comes to Evans, 42, and Baptista, 26.
“All I’m saying is that when Priyanka Chopra married Nick Jonas, people were calling her ‘grandma’ and all that stuff because she’s 11 years older than him,” one individual told X.
“However, when Chris Evans marries a woman 16 years his junior, the age gap is irrelevant.” Come on, make it make sense!”
16-year age gaps are gross,” said another. Even if your name is Chris Evans.”
“I’d like to see the same energy Joe Jonas had for the age difference with Sophie Turner directed toward 42-year-old Chris Evans marrying a 26-year-old,” said a third.
But, like with anything, there is always another side to the story.
And on the other hand, it’s really nobody’s business.
“My [hot] take on the age gap between Chris Evans and Chris Evans’ wife is… that it’s none of y’all’s business; please go read a book or take a walk or something,” one user commented.
“Chris Evans has a good reputation; he has no criminal offenses or issues with previous partners,” said another.
“Sure, there is an age difference here, but they appear to be in the same age range and met as proper adults, so who are we to judge?”
“They both appear to be nice people, and I wish Twitter would just let them be happy.”
They have a valid argument, people.
