He obviously could’ve lied about it. I mean, many people lie, and celebrities aren’t an exception; on the contrary. Celebs lie a lot about the most nonsense thing ever. He could’ve said the truth as well, but I find it hard to believe that they have a house in PT but he is never seen in the country. Like he doesn’t spend time there or what? Or how do people never spot him or them together there? So yeah, they could have a house there, but using honesty as evidence is not so convincing. //

There have been photos of him there. Do you have selective memory?

No, but you clearly don’t even try to understand what I was trying to say. I didn’t mean staged photos, because those aren’t spottings from me. And yes, those restaurant pictures were clearly not natural. Other than those few, like, I think it was 3 times, when have they ever been seen in Portugal? And I mean, a normal, natural sighting. Like them not knowing they are being photographed. They're just living their lives there, doing their stuff? Because I don’t remember a single one. So you are telling me that they’ve been together for almost 4 years now, they had a wedding in PT, they now have a house there, and still nothing? Nobody ever sees them there? And no, I don’t buy sightings without pictures.

So yeah, maybe they were seen there like 3 times posing at or in front of a restaurant, but I clearly wasn’t talking about those. They apparently spend a lot of time there, hence why they have a house. So no, I don’t think that not even a single natural, normal, everyday sighting of them is normal.

[majaloveschris]

However, I do not think we have enough evidence to decide whether they are living together or not

I mean, he did say during the red one press tour, that they just got a place in Portugal and will do back and forth for future Christmases.

You think he was lying?

Hello Maja, I have been following this drama for a while and left when the marriage happened. Just popping back to see what has been happening and I see that not much has changed.

Do you mind updating me on some things? I read he sold some of his houses? So where does he supposedly live now?

I have read some of the arguments from both sides recently and I have to admit, both sides do have some valid points. Which makes it hard to take one side. I do wonder though, if this really is fake, have they been living separately? If yes, then surely he can't be celibate for years now...and if he's not (and they are fake), then why hasn't anyone come forward? I mean, before this relationship (and even during), there were claims of hookups.

I wonder if he looks uncomfortable because he really is uncomfortable to be seen with her, but doesn't mean it's not real? I mean, it is very unhealthy of course to be ashamed of your own partner, but it is entirely possible. This is based on my own experience (unfortunately). Also based on my experience, it is possible that he stayed with her because he was afraid he won't find anyone again if he let her go. It is irrational, I know...but I too have stayed far too long in a toxic rs just because of fear of being alone. Even when I was actually disgusted by the guy and physical intimacy becomes revolting.

Nothing that interesting has been happening, and no one really knows where he lives, which is how it should’ve always been.

As you said, both sides have fair points. If she is truly not living with him, I doubt he never sleeps with someone, and she’s been actually spending a lot of time in Portugal. However, I do not think we have enough evidence to decide whether they are living together or not. We don’t know that much about their whereabouts, and just because we allegedly know where Chris is and we’ve seen Alba more in Portugal, it doesn’t mean they don’t live together. While I do think this is PR, I also think we have to be critical enough to be able to decide what proves something and what doesn’t. This doesn’t. And while there were always rumors about him hooking up with people, I don’t think there were that many, but I do agree that now that he is allegedly married, him sleeping around should make a bigger buzz. Or maybe people with whom he sleeps keep his secret, or he is not sleeping around. Who knows?

I think this is a valid point and an actual possibility. Him being distant and cold towards her could be because he is ashamed of her, or he just wants people to keep second-guessing after seeing how they reacted to her and her friends behavior. But it could very well be that this is solely PR and he is just not capable of acting as if he were so in love with her. I think there are endless possibilities on both the PR and the real end, and we probably will never actually know what this whole thing is. Maybe he felt like he was running out of time and decided to settle down with her. The amount of people who don’t get married when they are the most in love but when they feel ready...It’s unfortunate but a very possible thing. Either way, this whole thing definitely didn’t do any good for him. Reputation-wise.

[majaloveschris]

This isn’t gonna be my usual post of the day, but I wanted to share a few words about the people that follow me and send me asks.

I’ve been here for more than 3 years now, and a lot of things happened during these years. My goal was always to provide a safe place where everyone can share their opinions and where everyone who is respectful is welcomed, no matter whether they think Chris and Alba are real or fake.

I try to post something every single day, and it’s so amazing to see how many of you all are still here and send me asks just in general or as a response to those I post. Most of you are so nice and kind; you always bring up amazing points, and even when you disagree with me, you never send a disrespectful ask. I love reading all of them, and even if I don’t post or answer them, I've never not read one you send me. Every single time I post something, I always get a lot of feedback via comments and asks, and you keep sharing your opinions with me, which is really appreciated.

I’m so happy that we have something great here and that we have what I always wanted: a safe place. I hope you guys know that your opinions are always welcomed here, whether you agree with me or not, whether you think this is real or not.

[majaloveschris]

I don't get this whole thing of they are pregnant but then everyone around them is the one revealing that... I want to say this feels oddly like the preemptive post by Justin's dad about the marriage to Captain America... IMO , it feels like they have tried everything for this girl to pop and nothing is working or has worked..a legit couple doesn't need the clout especially for someone who doesn't want the fame as she claims.

This paints Chris either as a very fake person for the last 20+years or this relationship is just for clout. Look at how Tom and Zawe announced their second child... Very simple and effective. Even with their first , it was simple.. they were also spotted out and about like normal couples do. His family or friends of family weren't making weird comments in strange post. And you cannot say that Tom and Zawe are not private, because they definitely are.

How on earth did Chris tether himself to these people... The constant trolling of fans is so strange..even though I truly believe all this is PR, I swear it has made me look at Chris very differently. He could have been such a respectable actor or personality even outside acting, with his ASP. But now we are just left with a reluctant actor and association with such horrible clout chasing problematic people.

And it’s not even just about the fact that a real couple doesn’t need this much clout but also the fact that apparently they are supposed to be a private couple. Like, which private couple does this? Private couples don’t have their relatives and friends going around spilling their private info, especially when we are talking about something as big as an engagement, wedding, or pregnancy. But they do the same thing as well, because those wedding articles were clearly from their teams.

If this is truly PR, I, too, don’t understand why it was needed. Chris was doing more than just fine but definitely better before this shitshow. He didn’t lack a job; he had loyal fans. Maybe he is getting money from this and more and better job offers, but nothing is going to give him back those loyal fans who were always there for him, no matter what. And people can try to twist and turn it however they would like to, but this whole thing definitely took a toll on his reputation. The fandom is not the same and will never be anymore. A lot of people won’t come back. I don’t know who told him this is a good idea (again, if this is PR), but this whole thing was a huge mistake, and he definitely ruined a lot of things he’d built up in 20 years.

[majaloveschris]

And this is exactly my problem with this whole situation, this whole attention-seeking, clout-chasing feeling to it. They are supposedly a private couple, but people leak information, leave comments like this, and troll the fandom, and their wedding got a People exclusive not after one day it happened. It's like they are private but let people in their vicinity leak everything that's supposed to be private. And it keeps happening, so they clearly don't mind it. They do the dirty work, for clout, I guess.

Maja, I think instead of speculating about "clout" and trying to make sense of stuff you 99.9% aren't privy to, I think you and others should instead just consider, that they and others around them probably put waaaay less intent, longterm thought, calculation and control into a good chunk of their moves, than this whole PR relationship conspiracy stuff, that has infested fandoms in the past years, has led you to believe. That's literally how a good chunk of the "why nothing makes sense" speculation can be explained.

I understand why people might believe this is real, I genuinely do, and as I said before, I consider both as a possibility, even though I personally lean more towards this being PR.

However, I do think that we can all agree that they do stuff for clout and attention. Those Instagram stories, for example. Like, when had you ever seen Chris post such a thing? He didn't even do that with Minka, with whom they did several pap walks. Or what about the wedding articles that came out not even 24 hours after the wedding apparently happened? And I could mention Justin's father's post or Alba's father's comment. These things wouldn't be as interesting as they are if they were supposedly in a private relationship. So they want to keep everything secret, but people around them leak everything? And they do it as well? Because those wedding exclusives were clearly from them.

They want to be talked about, and I think people should just accept that even if this is a real relationship, they are clearly using it for clout and attention. And they specifically use this "we won't say and post anything, but let other people close to us leak things" pattern to just create more buzz.

Private couples can stay private, and most of the time people close to them respect their decision. Here, it's not being respected, and it seems like they aren't even trying to stop them from spilling the tea. Why not? Because it's convenient for them.

So yes, even if it's real, at least Alba's side, who are the ones usually leaking things, is clearly using it for clout or to get attention for her.

[majaloveschris]

People have literally flooded my inbox about Alba's father's comments under that fan post.

Since it's been publicly shared all over the internet, let's talk about it and the possibilities, of which we have two: 1. They did it for clout. 2. It's real, and they are truly trying for a baby.

That comment didn't really confirm for me that Alba was pregnant. If we consider it being legit, in my opinion, it has more of a "they are trying for a baby" feel.

However, whether it's real or not, it doesn't change one simple fact: that it was such a weird comment, left at such a weird place. If she is pregnant, if they are trying for a baby, it's definitely not confirmed by them, so I don't think her father should've left such a comment, because he definitely overstepped in my opinion. We could say that people have been theorizing about it, but sharing theories is completely different than him leaving a comment like that. They didn't publicly state anything; only a few people have stated they saw some type of evidence of her being pregnant.

And this is exactly my problem with this whole situation, this whole attention-seeking, clout-chasing feeling to it. They are supposedly a private couple, but people leak information, leave comments like this, and troll the fandom, and their wedding got a People exclusive not after one day it happened. It's like they are private but let people in their vicinity leak everything that's supposed to be private. And it keeps happening, so they clearly don't mind it. They do the dirty work, for clout, I guess.

I'm not saying she is pregnant; I'm not saying she is not. We don't know what actually has been going on. But people who are private don't act like this. They don't have family members and friends leaking stuff. There are several, even bigger celebrities who were capable of hiding a pregnancy; she could as well. But they don't want to. They want to be talked about.

So yeah, it might be real. but it doesn't change the fact that everything is just weird about them.

[majaloveschris]

Maja, I’ve been a fan of your blog for years and always respected your opinion but I’m afraid you and those who still believe this is all PR are in for a rude awakening when Chris shows up with his pregnant wife soon. I don’t like the couple and think they look ridiculous together but I’ve accepted reality. Chris turned out to be a cliche man. I hope you stick around even when the confirmation comes out this year.

Look, me personally, I won’t get to experience the rude awakening you are talking about. If you’ve been here since the beginning, you know I was always open to their relationship being real. I always said that everything is possible, and everyone should consider both theories as a possibility. Neither of us knows what the truth is, and it’s better if we aren’t being narrow-minded.

To be honest, this being real and fake doesn’t affect my life, and it shouldn’t affect anyone’s as well. If this turns out to be real, I’m sure some people will be really surprised; I will be a bit disappointed, but that's it. I don’t know if I will stay or not; we will see.

[majaloveschris]

To be honest, everyone reacts weirdly when she is being mentioned. Everyone turns so serious and weird whenever she is being mentioned. It's like people don’t really know what to say, how to react.//

I suppose the people he works with would know it's fake, as it's very common in HW and they know what people are up to. But I feel like if she were nice, they would go along with it more (and maybe he would have an easier time getting through it). It's so awful and messy they don't want it to splash back on them, I guess.

I agree. I think they know how she is being perceived in the fandom and that she and her friends are messy, so they don't really want to get involved. I wouldn't either. Maybe if they were better people and they were selling the relationship better, these people would act differently as well.

However, I also think that she isn't around that much. Like she is there when they do a pap walk, they go to an official event, or they create content (I don't think they are really doing this anymore though), but that's it. I don't think she goes and visits him on set or anything like that. Maybe for content reasons, but I don't think she is around that much. I'm not even sure if she's even met Dakota.

So I think most people can't even have an actual opinion about her because they don't know her at all. Like whenever she gets mentioned, people either don't say anything or just say the basic "we love her, she is so sweet" things, which shows that there isn't really much to say about her, probably due to the lack of depth of their relationships with her. And even if she wasn't that nice, they would never say it.

[majaloveschris]

But again, I somehow don't think she is pregnant or they are real, but if I end up being wrong, that's not going to be the end of the world either. ///

I wish you knew how many months and even years some fans devoted to rehabilitating other fans who were so traumatised that even these supporting fans had to seek rehabilitation themselves. It isn't a normal reaction, no one should ever go through such a horrible experience bc of shitty person like Chris, who is fraudulent and almost criminal. He is responsible for people losing their health.

Look, I understand that he is or was a comfort person for a lot of people, but I don’t think he is responsible for every single fan’ mental health. It’s not normal if someone needs rehabilitation or therapy because of a random person’s relationship, because that’s who he is to us: a stranger. I understand if he disappointed people or if people got sad/mad because of the people he is associating himself with, but at the end of the day it shouldn’t get bigger than that.

I don’t know where you got the criminal part, but again, blaming celebrities for people’s help is a bit much. I think we are all grown-ups here, and we can decide when to move on from a situation. If people decided to stay and ended up with mental health problems solely because of this situation, that’s on them. Everyone can walk away and take a step back when it becomes too much, and it’s not on him if you don’t do it.

I know people who completely left the fandom, who just stopped caring about this relationship or reading the news about it. Everyone has the choice, and if you decide to stay, it’s not his fault or on him. I also don’t agree with the games, and it used to affect me a bit (not on the level you mentioned), but not anymore. I have bigger problems in my life right now and I always took a step back when it got too much. Others could have done the same, and it’s not his fault if they didn’t. So no, the mental health of those people whom he doesn’t even know is not his responsibility.

[majaloveschris]

You know I clicked on the tag of albas pregnancy and it's crazy how many times this woman has been pregnant.. by now they would be on baby number 3🤦🏽‍♀️... But let's say she is actually pregnant, she is 'married' to Chris and they live in Portugal/Mass and New York,the whole drama surrounding this is bizarre since she is really a non issue as a celebrity. Like no one really cares /knows her outside of Chris, who has repeatedly made it clear he is very uncomfortable around her, is constantly vague about a three year relationship... Like what! There is never any candid or 'real' photos if them out an about in his hometown where he hides away most of the time when he is not working, it's always some manipulated third party of a third party about being spotted somewhere... It's been years!! Like by now they should be moving freely, doing life freely as the supposed cat is out of the bag. The hiding and pretend 'privacy' is just to create panic and talk in the fandom that is quite frankly non existent. Chris doesn't necessarily need the publicity. Whether we like or not, he is well known, which is actually something I feel he doesn't like unless he is promoting some work and then he vanishes. So if people were to look at this objectively, then what would be the purpose of all this drama. Like why...unless it serves a particular person who needs it. I actually saw a post on Tik tok that she was one of the actresses being considered to play Wonder woman... Among others if I may add. She may pretend or even say she doesn't want fame but all this drama is just serving her.

So yeah, she might be pregnant, married to Chris for real and they are happily enjoying domestic bliss in whatever new house they are rumored to be designing for an Architectural digest spread, but it is so unlike the Chris we have known for 20+years that it begs the question. And that man has not looked like himself in the last three years it's worrying. He looks so drained and almost dreads doing interviews because it leads to the same questions. I pity him sometimes. He has lost his shine completely, even his awkwardness was cute and comforting, now it's just seems cringe and uncomfortable. May he be freed from the shackles of all this drama!!

Yeah, I also find it really hard to believe that she is pregnant, but nothing is impossible. I mean, if a picture surfaces or anything like that and she indeed looks pregnant, then that's it, but up until that point I have my doubts. As you said, the way they behave around each other and all of the things we know about this relationship wouldn't really indicate a relationship to me that could last forever or that they would involve a kid. Obviously, their relationship could be real, just not a good one, but I don't know how much I believe that.

But if she actually ends up being pregnant this time, then I think we all have to accept the fact that whether they are in a healthy relationship or not, they aren't PR. And to be honest, I don't care if they will just fake it (I hope they would never go that far), and I won't question whether it's his or not, because I don't care. If they publicly involve a pregnancy or a child in this, I'm done with the PR theory. Because that either proves that they are real or that they would do things that I can't accept to prove this is real.

But again, I somehow don't think she is pregnant or they are real, but if I end up being wrong, that's not going to be the end of the world either.

[majaloveschris]

So I’ve gotten a lot of asks since yesterday about the new photo some people saw on someone’s private social media. I obviously haven’t seen the picture, and I probably never will, even if it’s an existing one. I don’t really know what to believe, nor do I really have any theories because this is not something of which I can really have any. She might be pregnant, or might be not; time will tell for sure.

There’s one thing I don’t understand and another that bothers me.

The thing that I don’t understand is how she was capable of hiding her belly in those pictures that were posted online of her if she has such a visible one that from a picture people were able to tell she is pregnant? I don’t think she showed anything else, but a flat stomach in those videos and pictures. I obviously know that those are a bit blurry, but I think on Justin’s you can clearly see she doesn’t have one.

But you know what, let’s assume she is pregnant for a second. And let’s say that we can’t see her stomach because she is trying to hide it.

The second thing, the thing that bothers me, is the old privacy talk. Now people love throwing that word around, proudly using it from a high horse, trying to be the moral compass of the fandom. But the minute they find something that aligns with their views and opinion, it doesn’t matter anymore. Imagine if I, for example, would’ve gotten my hands on their divorce papers and would’ve shared the news (without evidence, of course). Would people believe me? Maybe those who believe this is not real would, but a lot of people wouldn’t, because why would they? My words are nothing without evidence, and just because I hear something that I want to be real, it doesn’t mean it is. But leaking something so personal doesn’t feel right. And I’m not saying that because I don’t want it to be true, because what’s going to happen if it is? Nothing. My life will be the same. Was I wrong about them being PR then? Yeah, but my life will go on, without any chance. I just don’t like hypocrisy, and while I’m not the biggest fan of Alba, „announcing” something like this is not a random Tumblr blog’s thing to do. You could obviously say that maybe Alba wanted the info out, but she didn’t want to do it herself, so she managed to do it this way. That’s a possibility as well. But again, it’s about the hypocrisy part. Some people can do whatever they want if it proves their truth; some can’t do anything.

[majaloveschris]

Random thoughts:

Chris truly has superpowers. He isn't just able to drain batteries but is also capable of not appearing in pictures and videos when he doesn't want to.

[majaloveschris]

you seem like the most nuanced thinker here, what do you think of the camsoda/fapello development? answer only if it's not too much trouble and enjoy the rest of your day 🩷

That's really nice of you, thanks! To be honest, I don't really know what to think. The problem is that I have never been on those sites; I hadn't even heard of them up until that very moment when I saw people talking about her being on them. I don't know if the profiles are fake or not; I mean, they could be real. After that shower video and seeing what kind of projects she's been into, I wouldn't be surprised if they were real. But as I said before, I'm not familiar with those sites and whether people could just simply make a profile for a celebrity like her or if they need to provide some type of information that it's actually them wanting to register.

Either way, I don't think her being on those sites adds or takes anything away from the PR/real conversation. They could be real, and she could be on that site, and they could be in a PR relationship while the profiles are also fake.

Sorry if I couldn't provide you a better answer or opinion, but since I don't really know what to think about the whole thing because I feel like I don't have enough information, I'm not that comfortable with formulating an opinion.

[majaloveschris]

I'm just wondering why they don't go out. Forget attending official events, they aren't even sighted doing regular things like going to dinner, ball games, plays, etc. Taking the example of the couple you posted below, Andrew and Monica do regular couple things and are spotted by fans quite often when they're out and about together. They've been spotted seeing plays together, attending a basketball game, Glastonbury music festival, and now Wimbledon. And Deuxmoi has also received several sightings of them at restaurants and stuff.

Because they are so private. You know, they keep their relationship behind closed doors and only use it when it comes in handy.

Jokes aside, I find it really weird how they are rarely seen out together. Let’s assume that they hide well, and if they disguise themselves properly, people don’t recognize them, but I do think that after several years, I find it straight up impossible that they go out regularly, but have never been seen. Like it’s been almost 3 years at this point and nothing? Not a single natural sighting. It’s either a pap walk, a red carpet event, or the chef of the restaurant where they went to. It’s never a fan or someone catching them somewhere. I think the closest we've been to a natural sighting was the airplane/airport one. And no, I don’t count the pictureless sightings, because for me if there isn’t a picture, I don’t believe it.

Maybe he and she can disguise themselves as well, but I don’t buy this, especially not after several years. I think there is an easy answer to this, especially since we’ve been seeing Alba in Portugal quite frequently in the past months; they don’t really spend time together only when it’s necessary, but nowadays it’s usually just mentioning her in an interview, and that’s it.

[majaloveschris]

Would you believe Chris and Alba are real if you saw such photos of them? I mean, these two have been dating for about six months and seem more "married" than a certain married couple who make no public appearances together. I've seen these two together more times in six months of dating than the married couple who've been together almost 4 years.

https://x.com/whygarfieldd/status/1941858830268137513?t=nzU3b4Zg5n9BmmLrJ09l1Q&s=19

No, those times are over. We should’ve seen something similar to these types of pictures from the very beginning. Now, it would feel made up and faked.

Also, I don’t think they are capable of being like this around each other. It should come naturally, like it does for most real couples. I don't think they would be able to fake anything even remotely close to this for their lives.

[majaloveschris]

Hi Maja, I just wanted to tell you that since I started following this fandom, you've always seemed like the most down-to-earth blogger of all, even though you never respond to my anonymous messages. I think we share the same opinion about Chris Evans. At first, he seemed like a nice, genuine guy, but over time, we've realized he's not quite like that, especially because of the way he's handled his relationship with the Portuguese woman. I don't understand all the mystery surrounding his marriage; it makes you think it's not real, given the way everything seems so calculated. If that girl is really pregnant I think it's part of their strange relationship, personally I think Chris is the kind of man who can't live with one woman, he treasures his loneliness and all this about the invented marriage and now the supposed pregnancy that must be part of the same plan, it is with the purpose of having his offspring but not in the conventional way, I'm sure there's money involved behind the whole farce, she's just someone he hired to weave his web of lies, I think deep down he's just a man desperate for outside approval despite his own wishes, I think deep down he wants a child but not to live with the mother of it, that's why he invented the whole marriage thing.

Thank you so much for your kind words; I really appreciate them. I’m sorry if I have never answered a single ask of yours. I do get a lot of asks daily, and I wouldn’t say I’m the best at answering all of them, but I’m trying.

I think one of the reasons why I always found and still find it hard to believe this thing is real is because I think that the guy he’s portrayed himself as would never actually want to be with someone like Alba. Obviously, people can lie, but he’s always seemed genuine, and I don’t think someone can lie for decades. Is he perfect? No. But I do think he is a good person. Obviously, if this turns out to be real, that’s a different conversation.

What I find hard to decide is whether he actually wants a family or not. Not like it’s any of my business, but it could play a big factor in this. I do agree, however, that he cares more than he shows. I do think one of the reasons this whole idea was born is because he kept mentioning this whole family and marriage thing, and it didn’t really happen. I guess they thought they would be the next IT couple, the next power couple. You know, the next Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, or Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost, but it didn’t really go that way. I think they expected something entirely different from the fans and the general public.
