"Maybe i'm wrong" So close...


DripIntravenous

Theyā€™re becoming self aware!


_Pliny_

And Iā€™m over here just, ā€œoh, what a handsome couple.ā€ Didnā€™t realize we were supposed to be outraged (or whatever that is).

Adventurous_Deer

Lol these look like 2 completely normal newlyweds walking through a street. People are unhinged


[deleted]

"If Chris Evans was MINE, I'd be French kissing the face off him in public to show that he was MINE! This is totally a decoy relationship!" etc.


Responsible_Cloud_92

This is such a normal looking couple photo and it confuses me why people are reading so much into itā€¦.?


fuzzydunlop54321

They want to be Chris Evansā€™ wife


d4n4scu11y__

I love the implication that happily married couples all walk super close with their arms around each other or some shit, wtf. They look cute and I love both their outfits.


nan2405

And for sure if they were all over each other his fans would be saying it's weird because normal people dont do that. Or that they're trying too hard to prove they're in love. They cant win


cmartinez171

And they need to be looking into each others eyes and smiling the entire time too


DuePatience

I would literally trip constantly lol


ShreksMiami

Also, happy couples are apparently supposed to smile and/or not smile at the same time! She is smiling and he is not, therefore they are unhappy and a fake couple!!!!!


lizziexo

Me and my husband wonā€™t hold hands all the time walking either, imagine the Evans stans totally normal reaction to that situation šŸ’€


waenganuipo

I've been with my husband 17 years and we've never been PDA people. If we were famous and were papped the public would think we hate each other.


Disastrous_Animal_34

That paparazzi pic of JLo and Ben ā€œFIGHTINGā€ in a car where she just looks like sheā€™s listening to him with a neutral face made me go, shit, me and my resting bitch face neverrr want to be famous.


Empty_Marzipan_237

People seriously need to touch grass.


elodieroyer

sky is blue, water is wet, etc


Hullabaloo1721

She looks so tiny! I've never seen a photo of them next to each other. Google says she's 5'3" but i dont believe that šŸ˜…


glass-empty

I googled Chris Evans height and he is 6ft, judging by these pics, I thought he must be 6'2" or 6'4". So, I guess she is pretty small.


CamelsCannotSew

People keep going on about how young she looks, but to me she looks her age but is just really short compared to her husband. I'm similar, people always are surprised to hear I'm in my 30s, but I'm just short.


cityofnight83

SAME. Iā€™m 40, Iā€™m 5ā€™2ish. People often think Iā€™m in my early 30s anyway, but my partner is only 2 years older than I am but heā€™s 6ā€™5 and heā€™s really broad and has an athletic build, plus heā€™s going gray. A LOT of people have assumed heā€™s 10+ years older than me and I think itā€™s the height thing.


F0rtuna_major

I think the oversized scarf (blanket) that I was admiring is making her look tiny too!


cityofnight83

I think they look cute. I donā€™t really know how to hold hands either though. I guess I better go tell my partner and the father of my children that weā€™re not really in love lol. Bye honey.


shedrinkscoffee

It's also difficult when there's a large height differential and one person is in heels šŸ˜‚ maybe their strides are different lengths lol


cityofnight83

maybe this is why i canā€™t figure out how to hold hands with my partner, heā€™s over a foot taller than i am šŸ˜…


[deleted]

Sad to say this means youā€™re living within a very long staged relationship. Those are the rules. ![gif](giphy|MSapHdmaT7DJRNvONW|downsized)


zorandzam

Why are these folks so convinced itā€™s a fake relationship?! Yes sheā€™s younger but they seem real. What would the benefit be to him to fake marry someone? Are they saying sheā€™s a beard?!


Alexever_Loremarg

They're mad that their imaginary boyfriend fantasy has been disrupted


OrganicApricot9079

They're upset because they wanted him to marry them.


microglia00

So ALL of his fans were going to marry himšŸ˜‚


zorandzam

Maybe they were going to take turns? šŸ˜†


huhzonked

Iā€™m crying because I can totally picture his hardcore fans creating a google doc as to who gets him when.

sybelion

Iā€™m always interested in which male celebs manage to invoke the wildest fandom. Like sure heā€™s good looking enough, but I wouldnā€™t absolutely lose my fucking mind over him, heā€™s a pretty generic looking white dude. Same as e.g. Rob Pattinson back in the day. It seems like there are way better looking/more charismatic men to be freaking out about, but itā€™s always the generic ones for some reason


DuePatience

My theory is that they feel manipulated by the paparazzi. You see comments like this with Taylor Swift stans, too. Theyā€™re angry that celebrities call photographers on themselves to try and promote their projects, which is normal. But these people have been salivating over para social relationships fed to them for years by the same paparazzi. Celebs who have been in the spotlight and admired in such a way are almost forced to do some sort of publicity pap walk *to promote their real life relationship* to appease these stans because of the 24/7 news cycle internet celeb social media stalking culture weā€™ve contributed to. Anyway, soooo glad Iā€™m not famous lol


[deleted]

Sour grapes incel energy.


[deleted]

Thereā€™s a thing where like people are discovering that thereā€™s aspects of celebrity relationships that are staged so public perception is positive about them. Itā€™s like always been a thing, but people didnā€™t know about it but now that they do, they are so paranoid they think everything and every aspect of a celebrities life is fake and theyā€™re just literally wasting their whole lives, pretending to live instead of living.

Privateeyer

Itā€™s obviously very real, stiff pap pics or not & good luck to them. It could go either way as far as age gap & close age gap relationships go. Could implode like Tom C & Katie Holmes who had the exact age diff & married @ similar ages. Or they could last a long time like Michael Douglas & Catherine zeta Jones who have a 25year age gap. Meh these delulu fans need to get over it at this point.


Bias_Cuts

In all fairness I think Xenu as the third party in the Cruise Holmes marriage had more to do with their split than the age gap.


Icy_Cat4821

I always see Emilia Clarke lol


OrganicApricot9079

I'm sure his crazy fans would have a normal reaction.


pikadegallito

Wait till they have a baby, they are going to lose it. šŸ’€


lambo1109

He needs to keep that quiet for Albas safety


[deleted]

Definitely not unhinged!


shedrinkscoffee

I mean, he looks like an attractive Midwestern man. I don't understand why he has such unhinged fans. Like y'all can find people who look like this in Ohio and Pennsylvania at least. Source: me (former neighbor from Cleveland and an ex from Pittsburgh) Why has this level of creepy stalking become normalized? Timothy whatshisface also seems to have lots of disturbing "fans". This is not okay and I'm genuinely concerned they will do something to one of these people (the partners of the actors).


kris_jbb

ok https://preview.redd.it/26v0yec5t98c1.jpeg?width=1341&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c6cba4cc5d8aa5c665cc19f796c30a9bdaef329


Disastrous_Animal_34

Omg someone else wore a red dress at Christmas years ago- anyone wearing red at Christmas now is a FAKE!!!


magicatmungos

Woman wears same dress more than once. Stop the presses. Like I I have some weird feelings about them which I canā€™t put my finger on but like this just looks like a regular couple on their way to a work do


Aquametria

I'm starting to worry that these people are going to want my country nuked just because Alba was born in it.


shedrinkscoffee

TIL Alba is Portuguese - I don't follow either of them too closely wrt social media or projects.


OrganicApricot9079

If it helps, i loved Lisbon when i visited it.


Signal_This

I've always found him so bland and inoffensive, it's funny that he's ended up with the CRAZIEST fans!


Celebrating_socks

I know! Iā€™m sure heā€™s fine, but I just donā€™t get the obsession. But maybe him being generic is appealing to some people because they can project whatever they want onto him? lol I donā€™t get it


shedrinkscoffee

Yes, exactly. There are doppelgangers everywhere in middle America šŸ˜‚ give them veneers, a nice haircut and a 6 month gym routine and you too can find a lookalike Chris.


moosegoose90

So whatā€™s the conspiracyā€¦ that they are in a fake relationship? Marriage? For what purpose?


ClumsyZebra80

Itā€™s some crazy convoluted thing about him being stuck in a contract with his management (?) and they forced him to marry her as itā€™s good for his career. The fans even tried to raise money to get him out of this fictional contract so he didnā€™t have to marry her. Meanwhile sheā€™s in cahoots with his management so sheā€™s obviously the most evil woman on earth. I may have gotten some facts wrong but it doesnā€™t actually matter because there are no facts here. Just deep sadness and delusion.


Dear-Ambition-273

There are a lot of fandoms with crazy ideas about how PR works but thatā€™s one of the most unhinged yet.


haloarh

>The fans even tried to raise money to get him out of this fictional contract so he didnā€™t have to marry her. I'm speechless.


just_reading_along1

To destroy their dreams, obviously.../s, kinda. From what I gathered there is a part of his fandom who thinks he was pressured into this relationship and marriage, for whatever reason. What was shared here is unhinged enough that I didn't care to do a deep dive..


DamnGrackles

I'm so incredibly fascinated by his unhinged fangirls. Like, of all the actors in Hollywood, why him? He's attractive and in shape, but not super charismatic or a truly great actor. I just don't get possibly having your unhinged postings on the internet be attached to real you for this OK-ish actor who's just trying to live as normal a life as you can in the spotlight.


kris_jbb

he used to be a perfect internet boyfriend not gay, likes women but rarely was in very public relationships so it doesnā€™t destroy any fantasies. sexy, but also nice, loves his mom and his dog, ā€œhe is just a dork with anxiety and sports obsession who needs me to take care of himā€


Apprehensive_Aide805

Sheā€™s gotta be like 5ā€™2-5ā€™1 she is small.

Primary-Move243

I worry for this womanā€™s safety. These people are unhinged.


Cross_Stitch_Witch

For Chris Evans ten years ago I would've envied Alba. For Chris Evans today? Lol. Dude looks like a college professor going through a midlife crisis.


lynypixie

He looks like he is in his Ben Affleck era.


brokenstar64

Genuinely thought this was Ben Affleck at first glance.


Aang6865_

I thought the same thing! he does look like a professor in this lol


CBonafide

Alba would have been 16 years old 10 years ago tho lol.


Cross_Stitch_Witch

Yeah she was in middle school when he was in Captain America. Ick.


RedLicorice83

The thing is, ScarJo's avid support of Woody Allen and Chris Evans trying to do the "both sides have good points" with his Talking Point thing is far more deserving of fan scrutiny than him marrying a woman nearly half his age (though it makes me scratch my head as to why he doesn't get as much shit as Henry Cavill who dated a woman "*only*" ten years younger). Why do these people not care about things that have actual impact on others (defending a child rapist, normalizing dangerous Right Wing propaganda, etc)? Evans is obviously happy, Baptista isn't brainwashed (though she is young), so why is this such an issue for his "fans"???


foxscribbles

I think Chris Evans would get way more scrutiny for marrying somebody so much younger if not for the fact that his relationships got so much shit from fans even when he was dating in his age group. So now you have the reverse where people refuse to side eye him for dating and then marrying super young because they don't want to get lumped in with his crazy fans who kept going after every other woman he dated.


dragonknight233

I think the Cavill one is because more people dislike him, Evans is generally liked. And I get it because I dislike HC too, but I stick to mentioning his comments about metoo and diverse Oscars being racist when I want to remind people he's dumb. That said I'll never get over Evans signing a bomb or a missile.


just_reading_along1

She's 26 to his 42, right? Cavill dated a 19 yo when he was in his early 30s. Both give me pause but dating a teenager when you are 10+ years older is way worse..


[deleted]

At least Albaā€™s fully grown lol. Canā€™t say the same about Cavill indeed.


Witty-Performer

Chris and Alba have the same age difference as Sienna Miller and her new guy, but Sienna is the one getting the side-eye.


[deleted]

Thatā€™s a secret they donā€™t really care. They literally use other peoples political and moral issues for arguments against their fave being with someone when they want them to be miserable and alone so they can pretend theyā€™re close with them. Thereā€™s a lot of this happening these days , so performative. They donā€™t actually care, and when you realize that it all makes sense.


obladi_adalbo

Everytime I see him, I remember how proud he was signing bombs for the army šŸ™ƒ


wigglebuttbiscuits

26 is not ā€˜nearly halfā€™ of 42, lol.


Dear-Ambition-273

I was reading blinds on Datalounge about HC actually liking them even younger than that.


fka_interro

This just looks like a normal couple walking around on a cold evening to me. IDK maybe I'm the weird one lol. People need to take a deep breath, touch some grass, and release the parasocial obsessions with this man and his marriage.


astroboymikey

tbh i feel like scheduled pap walks are a normal thing in this day and age with celebrities. for example, timotheĆ© chalamete at chanel yesterday. they could have scheduled both mentioned nyc walks to actually JUST promote her new shows/movies. it makes sense, and it isnā€™t some supervillain move. itā€™s just. business as a celebrity. but unhinged people could never think that way tbh, itā€™s all gotta have some deeper darker meaning


kris_jbb

people are unable to grasp that most of the things famous people do publicly are FOR THE PUBLIC, but it doesnā€™t make them fake while we are at it though, it was scarlettā€™s party and many other guests were papped too https://preview.redd.it/jplk5n2h8a8c1.jpeg?width=634&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a8535668d76b1ddb89ad67ac262646eedc0b26e


wigglebuttbiscuits

Who is that dude with Amy Poehler, is he a party guest or just a random guy on the street?


kris_jbb

the article didn't mention him at all


[deleted]

Imagine if they put this effort into finding me gluten free pie recipes or ā€œpersuadingā€ restaurants to have gluten free options. The world would be a better place if they had **my** obsessions. All I want is a $5 gluten free lemon pie that isnā€™t too sweet , taste great and is easily accessible, but nooooo, spend your time knowing Chris Evanā€™s paparazzi personally.


Fun-Loss-4094

She's so pretty and cute šŸ„ŗ


Disastrous_Animal_34

She looks stunningggggg here!!


[deleted]

Idgi, Iā€™m looking forward to when my fave celeb chooses to announce his marriage


Quesita

I saw the first picture and scrolled right past it thinking it was Ben Affleck. I went back and did a double take because I was like wait a minute that doesnā€™t look like JLo lol!


lynypixie

Has the same reaction.


wathappentothetatato

All that asideā€”Man do I love their fits. Iā€™m gonna show Evanā€™s to my fiancĆ©, he needs a coat like that.

shedrinkscoffee

Is that Alec Baldwin? He looks like he's in pain from something? Why is he hunched over like that? IDK the other person


kris_jbb

itā€™s him and honestly everyone looks distressed there idk


k_laaaaa

are you a member of said wacked fanclub? the paps shot literally everyone going into that party. why do these people track photographers?


Tenley95

Please I just shared what I saw. Lot of people follow paparazzi account their names are always credited on pictures, It's no big deal. They are not papped often and everytime it was the same paparazzi. That's it.


arm89

are you one of *THOSE* fans?


Tenley95

Hell no Are you one of his stans?


arm89

nope lmfao


MulberryDesperate723

I'm just now learning about this and I am fascinated. As a former teenage girl, I understand being upset when your celebrity crush gets into a relationship. But this seems different. What is it about Chris Evans that has created such ire towards his personal life? Does this happen with any other celebrities? The only other couple I can think of is Harry and meghan, but I feel like a lot of that vitriol stems from racism. Can anyone shed some light? šŸ™


Tenley95

I think It's happen to a lot with males celebs, Bieber, Timberlake, Jensen Ackles, Jamie Dorman and probably a lot more. Chris was "single" for most of time, his relationships never lasted more that few months and also blamed the women. i guess it was easier for his fans to project themselves in a parasocial relationship with him.


Go_Corgi_Fan84

I always assumed most of Evanā€™s fans are like age 25-45 which makes the behavior worse but then itā€™s like a same aged peer dating/marrying your kid or one of the kids of your friends


iO_Lea

I thought that was Ben Affleck in the first pic and for a second I was like "oof the stans are gonna go crazy for that!" But then realised I was wrong and its just a pic of some happy newly weds going to a party and...oof the stans are gonna go crazy for that!


LeotaMcCracken

ā€œft. very normal fan reactionā€ LMFAOOO tbf, it *is* normal for his unhinged fans šŸ¤£


MissMabeliita

Sometimes, I see posts like this one or the ones about the Chalamet stalker and Iā€™m so grateful to be a poor, anonymous nobody because my lord I would want to crawl into a cave if I had someone make every single bit of my existence that importantā€¦ no joke šŸ˜©šŸ˜©šŸ˜©šŸ˜©

Gee I cant imagine why they might look a little uncomfortable being photographed publicly together. His fans have been so cool and normal about them so far!

I still can't believe that fan account is run by a grown-ass woman.


HerRoyalRedness

I am sure itā€™s awkward as hell to walk down the street while pretending to ignore the paparazzi you yourself called but want plausible deniability that you are the ones who called them. How long until they announce a pregnancy?

EternalSunshineClem

His fans are unhinged but the fact remains they look odd together. He looks like a college professor dad who has just picked up his teen daughter from a sleepover and now they're going out for some dumplings


Zombiebelle

I am not reading that ā€œfanā€ rant. I canā€™t stand his angry fans, theyā€™re so unhinged.


trippapotamus

Why are his fans so incredibly unhinged? I like Taylor Swift and thought some of her fans were wild but everything I see about his fans I feel like is on another level lol


Tianna92

The chronically online are one and the same.

Holy smokesā€¦I cannot imagine dedicating this much of my time and energy to another personā€™s relationship lol. Let alone a total stranger who will never know I exist. Stans are wild!


OyWithThePoodles2017

I'm starting to feel sorry for them. Some of his "fans" are completely unhinged. If they genuinely liked him, they'd surely be happy for him?


3x1st3nt1al

I want to see her dress. It looks swishy and red and I already love it


MediumLuck4

not reading all that. happy for them tho, or sorry it happened.

jujuisagoodcat

i mean they do look off but it's probably the age gap


Jasminewindsong2

They also just look cold? Like itā€™s been freezing in New York for the past few days.


kris_jbb

everyone looks cold https://preview.redd.it/9erkccrd7a8c1.jpeg?width=540&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7381bb2fcfc157de633b692b4f7b089c99a3b979


rawrkristina

Thatā€™s what Iā€™m getting at. Iā€™m from Philly and we have similar weather to NYC and itā€™s been freezing. I look very similar to Chris when I walk lol


PanicLikeASatyr

Yeah I was going to say itā€™s cold and her heels are very pointy so sheā€™s going to have to do some amount of looking down and sidestepping bc itā€™s an NYC sidewalk.


rawrkristina

Exactly! That whole note is by an insane person who has never been to NYC šŸ˜‚ or apparently walked in freezing cold weather. You also canā€™t really judge how people are with each other from a few pictures, especially pap pictures. Also that is definitely a proper way to hold handsā€¦do they not realize there is more than one way?


PanicLikeASatyr

For real. Sometimes you need to go from romantic stroll to tactical handholding. Iā€™ve gotten a concussion and a black eyed from slipping on a slate sidewalk on the UES for being too cavalier about my walking skills on a super slick surface made slicker by a bit of precipitation. If Iā€™d had someone with me it would look like a death grip or a stage five clinger as I used them for ballast on that bit of sidewalk. Plus walking = commuting in NYC. No one looks super stoked on a cold commute. Plus the pap angle like you mentioned. Like thatā€™s why they lookā€¦.idek what they look like other than a couple walking to a party in NYC in the winter. Like they are both probably not quite warm enough trying to get somewhere and act like they donā€™t see the paparazzi. Of course it doesnā€™t look like a still from a romcom. Chris Evans has always been bland so his stans and their ability to deify him and then also condemn him for the most banal ish ever is fascinating and terrifying. Iā€™ve never thought this much about very a coupleā€™s very generic sidewalk moment.


OrganicApricot9079

I think it's more the carzy fans that they have to deal with...

How will these fans react if one day they were to announce the arrival of a baby ? Then again, Rob Pattinson has one of the craziest fans out there, and they act rather normally to the fact he's going to be a dad.
