Chris Evans and his wife Alba Baptista are a perfect match, according to director Jimmy Warden.
Warden worked with the 27-year-old actress on her new movie Borderline, and got to witness her relationship with Evans, 43, firsthand.
Warden and wife Samara Weaving tell PEOPLE that they enjoyed a double date with the Captain America actor and Baptista, who married in 2023. The director also shares some insight into their chemistry.
“Sometimes you run into people, [and] you’re like, ‘Oh, this wasn’t matchmaking.’ You know what I mean? No one was pulling the string. It was just like, ‘Oh, these people are exactly right for each other,’ ” Warden says about Evans and Baptista, describing them as “such a sweet couple.”
As for Evans, “He’s also the nicest person,” the director says, adding, “And he’s the coolest obviously. He’s Captain America.”
Warden describes Baptista as “the sweetest person,” noting that she was cast off the strength of her audition and proceeded to amaze the team.
Evans and Baptista were first publicly linked in November 2022. At the time, a source told PEOPLE that their relationship was “serious” and that they had already been together for a year. The couple largely stays out of the spotlight and didn’t make their official red carpet debut until 2024 when they attended the annual Vanity Fair Oscar Party together.

He also alluded to becoming a father at some point during a November 2024 interview.
“The title of dad is an exciting one,” he told Access Hollywood, noting that he would like to be a “superhero” father.
Borderline premieres in select theaters and is available to watch on VOD on March 14.
