Make way for a new celebrity couple. According to an Us Weekly source, Chris Evans is now dating Jenny Slate, the actress/comedian best known as the brains behind viral phenomenon Marcel the Shell. The news comes only a week after Slate announced her split from husband Dean Fleischer-Camp.
The source claims the two 34-year-old celebs, who co-star in the upcoming film Gifted, met at Hollywood eatery Magnolia back in March while on a double date with Evans's brother Scott. It must have gone pretty well, because Slate gushed about Evans when they were both on Anna Faris's "Unqualified" podcast last month.
"I was a little scared because I kind of felt like, 'Well, I don't know him. He's a giant man with huge muscles and he's Captain America. How could we ever connect?'" she said. "[But the] first night that we hung out I was like, 'Wow, I could hang out with Chris for like 90 hours.'"
It looks like the feeling is mutual.
"Oddly enough, I've only known Jenny for a few months, which is insane to say because we're like the same animal," he added.
