Captain America’s found The One.

“Avengers” star Chris Evans secretly wed his girlfriend Alba Baptista in an intimate, at-home ceremony on Saturday surrounded by close friends and family.

According to Page Six, Evans, 42, and Baptista, 26, asked the star-studded assembly — which reportedly included Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth and Jeremy Renner — to sign NDAs as well as forfeit their phones before entering the “locked down” event.

The nuptials came less than a year after it was revealed that the “Knives Out” actor and the “Warrior Nun” star had been “secretly dating for over a year.”

Both Hollywood stars later confirmed the relationship after PageSix managed to snap a picture of the couple holding hands in Central Park.

“They are in love, and Chris has never been happier,” a source told People in November 2022. “His family and friends all adore her.”

Born in 1997, the Luso-Brazilian actress was raised in Lisbon, Portugal, after her mother, who was working as a translator at the time, met her father while traveling to Rio de Janeiro.

Baptista later took after her mother and learned five languages: Portuguese, English, German, French and Spanish.

Launching her acting career in 2014, the aspiring actress appeared in Simão Cayatte’s short film entitled “Miami,” which won her Best Actress at the Festival Ibérico de Ciné.

Since then, she has secured roles in several shows and films such as “Magnetick Pathways,” “Patrick” and “The Child.” More recently, she appeared in Netflix’s “Warrior Nun,” marking her English-language debut.

Despite remaining quiet on their relationship, Evans has stated in the past that he did want to settle down and start a family. chrisevans/Instagram

Baptista has also gained several accolades in her short career including the European Shooting Star award at the Berlin Film Festival as well as being named one of IMDB’s Top 10 Breakout Stars of 2020.

Little is known about how Baptista met her now-husband, but the “Captain America” hunk was spotted leaving a rather flirty comment on her Instagram around the same time the duo went public with their romance.

The “Fantastic Four” star later made the relationship Instagram official after posting a series of steamy, PDA-filled pics on Valentine’s Day.

Despite remaining relatively private, Evans has stated in the past that he did want to settle down and start a family.

“That’s absolutely something I want — wife, kids, building a family,” he told People in November 2022. “When you read about most of the best artists, whether it’s actors, painters, writers, most of them [admit] it wasn’t the work they made [that they are most proud of], it was about the relationships, the families they created, the love they found, the love they shared.”

He continued: “So it’s also something through my long 41 years that also rings true. Those things are the most important. I love the idea of tradition and ceremony, I had a lot of that in my life so the idea of creating that, I can’t think of anything better.”
