KEY POINTS

  • Chris Evans said he is focused on finding a partner at the moment
  • The "Captain America" star hinted that balancing his job with finding love isn't easy
  • His last public romance was with his "Gifted" co-star Jenny Slate

Chris Evans got candid about his love life and revealed that he is searching for his soulmate.

The cast of Netflix's "The Gray Man" recently spoke with Shondaland ahead of the premiere of the Russo Brothers-directed movie, in which Evans plays an assassin obsessed with tracking down his target (Ryan Gosling).

When asked if he'd been that dedicated to any sort of search in his own life, Evans teased that he would give "a good answer" before getting into details.

"The answer would be that maybe [I'm] laser-focused on finding a partner, you know, someone that you want to live with," he told Shondaland in the interview published Friday.

The "Captain America" star hinted that balancing his job with finding love isn't easy.

"I mean, look — I love what I do. It's great; I pour all of myself into it. But in terms of — even this industry is full of pockets of doubt, hesitation, and recalibration in terms of really trying to find someone that you really can pour all of yourself into," he explained. "Maybe it's about trying to find someone that you're looking to spend your life with. Yes, so maybe it's that."

Evans was previously linked to Jessica Biel and Minka Kelly, and his last public romance was with Jenny Slate.

He and Slate met while playing love interests in the 2017 film "Gifted." They broke up once but reunited in November 2017 before splitting for good in March 2018.

Although their romance was short-lived, Evans had nothing but kind words to say about his ex-girlfriend, whom he once referred to as his "favorite human."

"She's my favorite human," Evans told People of Slate in March 2017. "She's so vulnerable, so honest, so interested in other people more than herself, she's incredibly compassionate, there's just nothing to not love about her."

Meanwhile, Slate didn't think she was Evans' type. In an interview with Vulture at the time, the "I Want You Back" star admitted that when the "Avengers" actor confessed his feelings to her, she looked around and asked, "Is this a prank?"

Slate has since moved on and married Ben Shattuck in December 2021. They welcomed their daughter earlier that year in February.

"Chris feels neutral towards Jenny Slate and holds no bad feelings towards her," an unnamed source told Us Weekly in January 2020. "[He] is happy for her."

Last year, Evans was rumored to have been involved with Selena Gomez, but neither star ever addressed the dating rumors that circulated on social media.

"The Gray Man" arrived in theaters on July 15. It will be available on Netflix starting this Friday.
