Chris Evans has traded in his Captain America shield for a more sentimental accessory.

The Marvel actor was sporting a wedding band on Saturday during an appearance at New York Comic-Con (NYCC), where he publicly confirmed for the first time that he recently wed actress Alba Baptista.

"I got married," the Marvel star told the audience, adding that his recent nuptials were "really, really great."

He shared that he and Baptista had two ceremonies -- one in Portugal, where Baptista is from, and another ceremony on the East Coast, which reportedly took place last month in Cape Cod.

"They were wonderful and beautiful," he said of the dual ceremonies, later adding that since then, he and Baptista have "been relaxing and enjoying life and reflecting" as newlyweds.

Evan admitted that he felt the weight of planning a wedding, joking, "It's a lot."

"For those of you who are married, it takes a lot out of you but now that we're through that, we've kind of just been enjoying life," he said.

Evans and Baptista have been romantically linked since 2021.

The actor's appearance at NYCC comes just days after contract negotiations between SAG-AFTRA and the major studios and streamers were suspended amid the ongoing strike. The union supporting actors and performers has been on strike since July.

Hollywood writers in the Writers Guild of America, who had been on strike since May, agreed upon a new contract with the studios and streamers in September. The new contract was ratified last week, putting thousands of people back to work.
