He might have been named People’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2022 days ago, but we might officially have confirmation that Chris Evans is off the market.
The Captain America actor was rumoured to be dating Portuguese actress Alba Baptista, and now the pair have been photographed holding hands while going on a walk through Central Park.
Clearly trying to go incognito while wearing matching sunglasses and face masks, Chris, 41, and Alba, 25, navigated the crowds as they went on their walk.
Earlier this week it was claimed that they had been dating ‘for over a year’ and had first been linked in 2021 when Alba began following Chris and several other members of his family on social media.
A source close to Chris told People Magazine this week: ‘‘They are in love and Chris has never been happier.
His family and friends all adore her,’ they continued, adding it was ‘serious.’

Alba began her career in Portugal as a teenager, with multiple roles in films and TV shows, and has since branched out to English-language roles, starting with a leading part in Netflix’s Warrior Nun.
She’s most recently been in the movie Mrs Harris Goes to Paris alongside The Crown star Leslie Manning.
While Chris was previously linked to Jessica Biel and Minka Kelly, this is his first public relationship after he broke up with Jenny Slate, who he met while working on the 2017 film Gifted.
They split in 2018.

Despite being named the sexiest man in the world, it doesn’t seem like Chris has let it go to his head just yet.
When accepting the award he admitted that it would ‘really just be a point of bullying. It’s ripe for harassment.’

But he said his mum would be excited over the news.
‘My mum will be so happy. She’s proud of everything I do but this is something she can really brag about.’
Metro.co.uk has previously reached out to reps for Chris and Alba for comment.
