Captain America "Chris Evans" and Jenny Slate Are Dating
Chris Evans has pledged his allegiance to Jenny Slate.
The star of Captain America: Civil War recently began dating the writer and star of Obvious Child, a source confirms to E! News. The couple met in October 2015 on the set of director Marc Webb's drama Gifted. The coupling news comes shortly after it was revealed that Jenny and film editor Dean Fleischer-Camp have called it quits after three and half years of marriage.
Two months ago, Chris and Jenny went on a double date with Chris' brother, Scott Evans,
at Magnolia in Hollywood. "At one point, Jenny and Chris had some alone
time on the patio," a source tells E! News. While there was "no overt
PDA," Chris and Jenny "looked like a couple."
A separate insider tells us, "Jenny has met Chris' friends...They are just in the stage of getting to know each other."
In
April—just weeks before their romance was revealed—Jenny and Chris
shared their first impressions of one another on Anna Faris' Unqualified
podcast. "I didn't know what to expect when I met Chris. I was a little
scared because I kind of felt like, Well, I don't know him. He's a
giant man with huge muscles and he's Captain America. How could we ever
connect?" Jenny said. "[But] the first night that we hung out, I was
like, 'Wow, I could hang out with Chris for, like, 90 hours." According
to Chris, the feeling was mutual. "Oddly enough, I've only known Jenny
for a few months," he said, "which is insane to say because we're like
the same animal."
