Chris Evans is enjoying life as a newlywed, and he's ready to let the world know.
On Saturday, the former Avengers star confirmed to a crowd at New York City Comic Con that he recently married his girlfriend of two years, Alba Baptista, in two secret wedding ceremonies.
"I got married," Evans announced during his panel. The news was met with a round of cheers, for which he promptly thanked the crowd, adding, "It was really really great."
Evans continued, "We kinda had two ceremonies. We had one on the east coast, and we did one in Portugal — my wife's Portuguese." He described the ceremonies as "wonderful and beautiful," but went on to say that the couple is enjoying their downtime now that wedding planning is behind them.

"Planning a wedding, it's a lot," Evans said. "For those of you who are married, you know, it takes a lot out of you, but now that we're through that, we've just kinda been enjoying life and gearing up for autumn, my favorite season. It's like the best time of year right now... Now we're just relaxing and enjoying life and reflecting."
Reps for both Evans and Baptista did not immediately respond to EW's request for comment.

Rumors of Evans marrying the Warrior Nun star emerged last month, following a PEOPLE report that the couple wed in a secret ceremony held at a private estate in Cape Cod, Mass. The rumors were heavily fueled by the presence of various MCU stars hanging around Boston that weekend, alongside some of Evans' other A-list friends.
Robert Downey Jr. and his wife Susan Downey, Chris Hemsworth and his wife Elsa Pataky, Jeremy Renner, John Krasinski and Emily Blunt were all spotted in town, presumably for the East Coast wedding that Evans alluded to.
Baptista and Evans were first linked in early 2022, but have largely kept their relationship private, including not confirming their engagement prior to tying the knot. When Evans reflected on his romantic future after being crowned PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive 2022, he said that a "wife, kids, building a family" are things he "absolutely" wanted soon.
