Known for his deep affection for dogs, Evans found his own furry friend, Dodger, while filming the movie Gifted in 2017. Dodger, adopted from a dog kennel during the shoot, has become an integral part of Evans’ family. Evans recently celebrated a new chapter in his life as Dodger welcomed a new member following his marriage to Portuguese actress Alba Baptista in September 2023. Speaking at New York Comic Con, Evans expressed joy and reflected on their two beautiful wedding ceremonies in Portugal and Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
