Jenny Slate is thrilled about her relationship with Chris Evans. The co-stars of the upcoming film, Gifted, were friends for some time before they started dating. The 34-year-old actress was married to Dean Fleicher-Camp, but the couple ultimately went their separate ways. The Secret Life of Pets actress is now very happy and excited to be with the Captain America actor.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, she said, “It’s kind of like I got my dream seventh grade boyfriend. We didn’t know each other growing up, but we grew up about half an hour away from each other. We’ve been friends for a while, and, yeah…”
Evans walked the red carpet with Slate for the premiere of The Secret Life of Pets. The two showed their relationship was serious by bringing Slate’s sister, Abby, along with her nieces and nephews. The 35-year-old actor brought his mother, sister and her children.
Slate opened up about his support at the premiere, saying, “I haven’t really had a large premiere before, so it’s nice to have someone who knows how it goes.”
They also appeared on Anna Faris’ podcast recently, who happens to be friends with the two. Jokingly responding to Faris’ question about what he would prefer a woman sending him a picture of, with only being able to choose between boobs, face or bottom, he replied, “I’m way, way, way more of an ass man, clearly more of an ass man. Just so everyone knows. I like butts. [So] I guess a butt pic.”
