Chris Evans & Minka Kelly split again: ‘It didn’t make sense for them to be together’

Chris Evans

I’ve really missed thinking about Chris Evans, haven’t you? Maybe you never stopped. Here he is intensely carrying a box a few weeks ago in LA. I am thrilled to see that the promotion for Captain America: The Winter Soldier has begun. There’s a brand new 10-second teaser for a trailer, which I won’t bother embedding here because … no Cap Ass. The actual trailer comes out later today, and I’ll be lined up to watch.

We resume our Evans discussion with a bit of bad news, which could be good news depending on your view of his reignited romance with Minka Kelly. The couple got back together for a rumored second go last August before they were spotted making out in public a few months later. Things have been pretty quiet lately for them, and I was wondering what going on. Our photo agencies haven’t snapped any pictures of them together since April when they hit Bootsy Bellows together. Now it’s all over (again), and Chris will soon be looking for another Boston girl who sh-ts on him. Any takers?

Maybe the third time’s the charm? After breaking up back in 2007 and reuniting in 2012, Minka Kelly and boyfriend Chris Evans have split for a second time, sources reveal in the new issue of Us Weekly.

“It didn’t make sense for them to be together right now,” one insider tells Us of the couple, citing distance as a factor. (Kelly, 33, is shooting the TV series Almost Human in Vancouver, British Columbia, while Evans, 32, plans to direct the movie 1:30 Train in New York City.)

Us Weekly first exclusively revealed that the two were dating back in September 2012. It was their second attempt at romance together; they previously dated (and broke up) in 2007, prior to the Roommate actress’ three-year relationship with New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter.

Alas, history seems to be repeating itself in the form of another breakup. But this is not a bitter split. The first source says the duo parted on friendly terms and “still care about each other.”

Reps for both had no comment.

You know, I am kind of sad about this breakup but only because Chris and Minka didn’t walk any red carpets together this time around. What a bummer.

By the way, I can’t wait until Chris starts doing his neurotic interviews again. He’s much more of an interesting talker than any of his fellow Avengers, including Robert Downey Jr. I also like it when he realizes the paps are watching him and then runs like hell. Here he is doing just that on 8/15. Hopefully he remembered to breathe.

    She seems so shady to me. I hope this guy ends up with a good normal girl.

    • PHD Gossip says:

      +1.

    • eliza says:

      No disrespect, but why is she shady? Why do women always get put down when Hollywood couplings fail and the men are the “decent” ones? Unless I missed some negative stories about her ( and that is a possibility) she seems like an ok person.

      • Eve says:

        I don’t know how this is going to affect (if at all) your opinion about her but it’s known that she dumped Evans for Derek Jeter (coincidently, back when Evans’s career was fizzling).

        As soon as he was hired to Captain America’s role, they started being linked. During or right after The Avengers enormous success — they’re back together (confirmed by numerous photo-ops).

      • V4Real says:

        Just to piggy back off Eve, Minka also said to a magazine that she wanted Chris back after seeing him in CA. A few months later they were dating. She’s a known famewhore. Chris was hardly ever papped even with the success of CA and The AVG. Soon as he started with Minka he was being papped all over the place. I bet she was staging all this. Minka had never been papped that much, not even when she was with Jeter.

  2. blue marie says:

    So they were the last to know then?

  3. PrairieGirl says:

    Well, this explains his Sunday night tweet about true love and sacrifice. Guess neither of them wanted to do that.

    That said, Chris I’ve available to sh!t on you (not literally) any time. My husband would welcome the break.

  4. tifzlan says:

    Weird. I had always thought that he was married, lol.

  5. Eve says:

    *doing the happy dance*

  6. LB says:

    Chris Evans is legitimately the only actor I truly lust after and it has almost entirely to do with his neurotic interviews.

    Yeah I know this isn’t healthy but I can’t help it.

  7. Blanca says:

    I’m not from Boston but I can do the wet hair and sweat pants look pretty well. Pick me Chris <3

  8. AlmondJoy says:

    He’s hot! She’s gorgeous but something is off with her.. can’t put my finger on it.

    • fingerbinger says:

      For me when I see Minka I think of Derek Jeter and when I think of Derek Jeter I think of herpes. I’m not saying she has anything,but that’s where my mind goes when I see her.

  9. Tiffany27 says:

    Please stay away from the fame heauxs Chris!

  10. MonicaQ says:

    I just want to put him in a blanket and give him ice cream when he’s normal. He’s so neurotic that it makes me feel slightly protective.

    While he’s Captain America, I fully want to experience the power and might of the arm (or 3rd leg) of justice. Damn yo.

  11. eliza says:

    They were a thing?

    That said, I always thought Minka was gorgeous.

    “Now itโ€™s all over (again), and Chris will soon be looking for another Boston girl who sh-ts on him. Any takers?”

    *looks around the room and then timidly raises hand*

    • Tiffany27 says:

      This made me LOL!!!

    • Eve says:

      Excuse me? You mean “cluelessly raises hand”, right?

      I know it’s a bit too soon to start threatening fellow CBitches but I’d like to say I’m here…closely watching you (all).

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        He said BOSTON, not Brazil, Eve .\/.

      • V4Real says:

        Wait ladies IMO NY is close enough to Boston.
        TOK I have my shovel and large garbage bag in my trunk so tread softly.

        Eve I”m advising a plan as I type on how to get rid of you. Sleep with the lights on dear.

      • Eve says:

        Bitch, please…I’m still The Shank Mistress around here.

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        Ladies ladies ladies-I think we can all agree on one thing:

        I won this round based on qualifications alone.

        1) I’m a Boston girl, born and bred.

        2) I love shitting on dudes (no not like THAT).

        So now that it’s settled and we all agree that I’m the winner, I just want to let you know that in the name of good sportsmanship I’ll be sure to let you ladies know how great Chris is in the sack.

        You’re welcome.

        On a non-related note, did you know RDJ is a cat person, Kitten? Really, not only he owns two cats, but he always bring them up during interviews/behind the scenes/movies:

        http://iwantcupcakes.tumblr.com/post/20536101401/four-random-times-when-robert-i-have-two-cats-at

      • V4Real says:

        Nice move Eve, mentioning RDJ to distract from my plan. But yes, I knew. Both of his cats are rescue kittens. He also have horses s giving to him by Jamie Fox as well as llamas. Wait your plan worked, you distracted me from Chris. Clever fox.

      • Eve says:

        *tents fingers*

        Excellent.

        But you failed to notice that was also a thin-veiled threat — you wouldn’t like us moving into YOUR territory.

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        *imagining waking up to RDJ on our baby animal farm with baby llamas, kittens, puppies, baby pygmy goats, piglets, calves….*

        –WAIT, no! Damn you for distracting me, Eve!
        *shakes fist*

      • V4Real says:

        Eve you’re good I totally missed the threat.

        TOK you better be joking about your (imagine) bit of waking up next to RDJ. I will shank a bitch for that man. I will befriend you to help me take out Eve and then pull a double-cross on you

      • Eve says:

        “I will befriend you to help me take out Eve and then pull a double-cross on you.”

        *whispers*

        V4Real, any evil plan will work better if you don’t tell people exactly you’re going to do.

    • Miss M says:

      Politely, places TOK hands down where it should always be.

  13. Miss M says:

    When I was this last night, I did a happy dance! ๐Ÿ™‚

    ps: Chris, I’m here in Boston. Just saying…

  14. GeeMoney says:

    I was surprised that he started dating her again after she left him for Jeter. She’s pretty, but a “meh” actress. He could do better.

  15. drea says:

    It seems there are quite a few women who don’t like her, but I have a soft spot for her because of Friday Night Lights. Even if people say she was the worst actress on the show, I don’t care because I think Lyla and Riggins together were hot. I was really hoping they’d end up together somehow at the end.

  16. Eve says:

    Trailer for “Captain American: The Winter Soldier” is out. Looks awesome:

    http://youtu.be/NLWsK1ZFunA

    The very last scene…OMG!

  17. pato says:

    YES!!!!!!!

  18. Jenna says:

    Well, this certainly is making my weekend get off to a good start. ๐Ÿ˜€

  19. zoe says:

    Thank god for that! Its over, yay!
    And ladies, this thread made my day…

  20. Kimberly says:

    Minka is a pretty girl but there’s just something about her that always came off shady to me. The only reason I knew about her, is because she was dating Chris so I guess most ppl. are right when they say she’s only known for who she dates, rather that her actual “so called” career, which seems D LIST to me. I didn’t even know she was with Jeter until I actually made an effort to google her LOL.

  21. Kimberly says:

    Liam & ridiculous Miley is over and now Chris & this chick are done……..YAY!!! THIS IS GREAT NEWS.

    I just can’t believe he took her back after she dumped him for Derek a few years ago.
    It really annoys me when girls hook up with guys who dumped them before and VICE VERSA.

    As much as I like Chris, I think he seems VERY insecure, &seems to allow himself to be a doormat, but I heard he has serious anxiety issues. I do not know if that’s a valid excuse to justify that. Just presenting silly theories.

    I just hope this is the LAST TIME they ever hook up. AND I hope he finds another girl. A BETTER ONE who isn’t using him.

    The only decent chick I’ve ever seen him with was Jessica Biel.
    I WAS HOPING HE AND HAYLEY ATWELL would get together but oh well….UGHHHH ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ™

  22. Kate says:

    I’m not from Boston, but I grew up in Massachusetts, so I can fake the Boston accent if he needs me to. And while I do love him as Cap, I still prefer him as the nerdy guy from The Losers.
