Is Captain America rekindling an old flame? Chris Evans and Ana de Armas set tongues wagging this weekend after being spotted enjoying an intimate dinner at Boston’s exclusive Sorellina restaurant, sparking speculation that Hollywood’s dreamiest potential couple might be giving romance another shot.
The Marvel superstar, 43, and the “Blonde” actress, 37, were tucked away in a private corner booth at the upscale Italian eatery in Evans’ hometown on Saturday night, where they reportedly spent over three hours in deep conversation between courses and wine.
De Armas looked effortlessly chic in a stylish beige trench coat and elegant heels, while Boston’s favorite son kept it casual-cool in dark jeans, a navy jacket, and his signature accessory – a baseball cap (Red Sox, naturally) – in what appeared to be a failed attempt at flying under the radar in his home city.
“They looked really comfortable and flirty — definitely more than just co-stars,” revealed one restaurant staff member who witnessed the pair’s chemistry firsthand. “There was this moment where she reached across the table and fixed his collar, and the way he smiled at her… you can’t fake that kind of connection.”
The dinner date has sent fans into investigation mode, particularly since both actors have history together both on and off screen. After starring together in the 2019 hit “Knives Out” and later in “The Gray Man,” rumors swirled in early 2021 that the pair had briefly dated, though neither ever confirmed the speculation.
“Ana and Chris have the kind of chemistry that jumps off the screen, so seeing them together in real life just makes sense,” commented celebrity relationship expert Maya Rodriguez. “They’ve always spoken highly of each other in interviews, even during periods when they weren’t reportedly dating.”
Social media erupted with reactions to the sighting, with fans divided over whether this reunion signals romance or simply friendship. “They’re literally just having dinner, calm down everyone,” tweeted one skeptic, while another countered, “You don’t spend three hours at a romantic restaurant with ‘just a friend’ on a Saturday night.”
The timing has raised eyebrows in entertainment circles, as Evans recently ended his relationship with Portuguese actress Alba Baptista earlier this year, while de Armas has been linked to Tinder executive Paul Boukadakis since 2021, though the status of that relationship has been unclear in recent months.
The pair clearly valued their privacy, leaving through the restaurant’s back entrance around 11:30 PM and departing in the same vehicle – a black SUV with tinted windows that witnesses say was waiting specifically for them.
Representatives for both actors declined to comment when reached, with Evans’ team stating only that “Chris is currently enjoying time with friends and family in Massachusetts while on break from filming.”
Whether this cozy dinner signals a romantic reunion or simply two old friends catching up remains to be seen, but one thing’s certain – the chemistry that made their on-screen partnerships so compelling clearly extends beyond the cameras.
For now, fans will be watching closely for any signs that Hollywood’s most attractive potential power couple might be making things official. As one viral tweet put it: “If Chris Evans and Ana de Armas are actually dating, the rest of us might as well give up. There’s no competing with that level of gorgeous.”
