Jessica Biel was Evans’ first serious, long-term public relationship.
They started dating in 2001. They worked together in Cellular (2004) and London (2005).
In 2005, Biel told Cosmopolitan that they talked about marriage and children, but were not engaged.

Their relationship was on and off over several years. They were linked again in 2012, split in 2013, and were spotted together again in 2014 and 2015.
Neither Evans nor Kelly has spoken in detail in public about why it ended. The exact start and end dates of each phase were never formally confirmed by either of them, so this article does not present a single unbroken timeline for them.
Jenny Slate (2016-2018)
Jenny Slate is the ex-partner most often confused with Evans’ wife. She was never his wife.
They met on the set of Gifted, which they filmed in 2015. Evans played the uncle and guardian of a child prodigy. Slate played the child’s teacher.
They began dating in 2016, after Slate’s divorce from filmmaker Dean Fleischer-Camp was finalised.
They split in February 2017. Reports at the time described conflicting schedules and the pressures of very different levels of fame as factors.
They got back together later in 2017. They split for good in March 2018.
Both have spoken warmly about each other since. Slate later married writer and artist Ben Shattuck.
