Chris Evans’ fans were left stumped after reports of him marrying his long-time girlfriend Alba Baptista came to light. It was revealed that the couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at their Massachusetts home. As many express how baffled they are with the announcement, others have taken to alleging that the Portuguese actress is racist.
Responding to the controversy, one netizen noted:
According to an exclusive report from Page Six, Chris Evans and Alba Baptista exchanged vows with family, friends and Marvel stars including Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner and Robert Downey Jr.
The duo never announced their engagement, but fans were well aware that the couple were dating for two years. In January, the Captain America star made his relationship with Baptista Instagram-official by sharing a video montage of the two pranking each other where they were heard calling each other “baby” and “babe.”
As the couple now celebrates their union, ardent Chris Evans fans have said that the 26-year-old actress is racist.
Alba Baptista racist claims explored
As per Reddit user u/Lokenna907, Chris Evans fans created posters calling for the cancelation of Alba Baptista. This came after the couple had just made their relationship public. The flyers were circulated across Los Angeles. They read- “#cancelAlbaBaptista” and:
“Chris Evans “Captain Americas” super serious girlfriend is a racist.”
The flyer also included pictures of the Warrior Nun actress alongside her friends and a series of tweets which read:
“Story: F*CK ME LIKE HITLER F*CKED THE JEWS”
Another tweet read:
“hey, I’m the liquorice b*tch, ya know I’m looking for these n*ggas if these n*ggas is rich, I make hits mother*cker”
Another tweet read:
“ice n*gga, ice n*gga”
These were a few among the many tweets that were seen on the poster. People seemingly alleged that the tweets were either by the actress herself or her friends.
However, it is important to note that neither of the tweets were tweets by the actress herself. They were by platform user @KikoisHot. There is no evidence that supports the claim of the Twitter user being the actress’ friend.
At the time of writing this article, neither Evans nor Baptista had addressed the racist controversy. Nevertheless, netizens continued to accuse the actress of being racist. A few tweets read:
Chris Evans and Alba Baptista may have started dating in 2021
The duo sparked romance rumors after an insider told People magazine in November 2022 that they had been dating for “over a year.” The source also said:
“They are in love, and Chris has never been happier… his family and friends all adore her.”
Since then, the pair have been spotted together at Central Park, Baptista attended the premiere of Evans’ Ghosted movie and attended other events together.
