He's the reigning PEOPLE Sexiest Man Alive. He's our hometown hunk and Captain America! Knives Out star Chris Evans, who grew up in Sudbury, MA is breaking hearts, as we speak. Chris Evans showed his love for girlfriend 25 year old actress Alba Baptista on Valentines Day. The 41 year old actor expressed his emotions with a photo dump on his Instagram Story of the two hiking, laughing, kissing, traveling, and hanging out with his beloved dog, Dodger.

Can you hear it? That's the sound of hearts shattering all over.

Accoring to PEOPLE, the Instagram story didn't have any commentary, but on Chris' next story, he posted a video of Baptista "becoming aquainted with an iconic Nintendo game." On that post, Evans did comment: "...I introduced her to Mario Bros 3" "(She hates this video but I LOVE it)"

So, to all the single ladies... Sorry, but Chris seems to be in love.

Who is Alba Baptista? Apparently, she is not only beautiful but smart and kind hearted. Check out PEOPLE's story on her, HERE.  

Take a stroll through the last 20 years of People's Sexiest Men Alive. This year, the award went to Grey's Anatomy's neurosurgeon Derek "McDreamy" Shepherd. The long-awaited title is something we look forward to every year, and this year's choice has been worth the wait. The actor has never been given the title before, and with nearly 20 years of being television eye candy, the actor told the publication when he first heard the news, “I was completely shocked, and then I started laughing, like, this is a joke, right?” As for how his kids will respond, the Maine native insists they’re just going to make fun of him.

Humble Beginnings

Growing up in Maine, he recalled always having to be moving, so he took up a lot of sports like baseball, soccer, skiing, cycling." The Ferrari actor had dyslexia, so he didn't love school, and described himself as a "late bloomer." In his youth, Dempsey joined a vaudeville troupe and rode a unicycle while juggling.

Now, the key is maturity and wisdom for the Can't Buy Me Love alum. "You go through cycles of life, so you understand there are going to be high and low moments and what are the most important things. Everything else is a gift.” Despite his heartthrob status over the years, “I’m glad it’s happening at this point in my life,” he says of his new title.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and People magazine has their own taste. See the Sexiest Men Alive from the last 20 years below:
