It’s only been about three weeks since Jenny Slate and Chris Evans made their relationship super-official by briefly walking her red carpet together. That was at the LA premiere of The Secret Life of Pets back in late June. And since then… there hasn’t been a lot of gossip. It’s not that nothing shady has happened, mind you. It’s just that very few media outlets want to call out Slate and Evans for what is looking more and more like a months-long affair while she was very much married. The new issue of Star Magazine has a vague story about how some unnamed sources are sort of theorizing that yeah, Chris Evans and Jenny Slate were totally hooking up last year when they worked together.
Questions have arisen about whether Chris Evans played the villain by breaking up Jenny Slate’s four-year marriage to Dean Fleischer-Camp. The news of Dean and Jenny’s separation broke on May 4, then just one week later, Chris and Jenny confirmed they were a new couple. Then on May 20, Dean and Jenny simultaneously filed for divorce in Los Angeles Superior Court.
“It certainly has the appearance of Chris and Jenny’s relationship having contributed to her marriage crumbling – and I’m sure Jenny would just like to sweep it under the rug,” says one source.
Signs that the costars were getting cozy last year on the set of ‘Gifted’ were obvious from the start.
“Jenny’s feelings for Chris seemed to evolve quickly to more than just platonic,” claims a set insider. “Some people even said they felt bad for Jenny’s husband the one time he visited the set. She didn’t seem too enthusiastic about Dean being there, and he probably sensed the chemistry between his wife and Chris.”
After filming wrapped up, Chris and Jenny still found time to be together. In March, they were spotted out to dinner with Chris’s brother. In April, they did Anna Faris’s podcast together.
A rep for Chris insists he and Jenny did not begin dating until April, after her and Dean’s separation.
At the premiere of The Secret Life of Pets in June, Jenny and Chris tried to be more discreet. “Jenny and Chris walked the carpet together, but he fled the scene when she was being interviewed because it was obvious he did not want to answer questions about their relationship.”
“Her friends are saying that Jenny and Dean’s split was amicable, though I’m sure Dean was heartbroken to see her take up with Chris so quickly,” says the source. “But maybe something good will come from all of this. Maybe Chris and Jenny were meant for each other – and if that’s the case, who’s to say they shouldn’t be happy together?”
[From Star Magazine, print edition]
There’s also a quote from an insider: “They make an unlikely couple. Chris is just a regular guy while Jenny is artsy and quirky.” I do think that Slate’s “quirky” vibe is working in her favor as far as press coverage goes. If she looked like a “bombshell,” people would have more to say. But she seems like a quirky-but-wholesome girl-next-door type, and so everyone is just looking the other way when the stories crop up about how Captain America homewrecked his costar’s marriage. I do enjoy that Star spoke to Chris’s rep who “insists” that Jenny and Chris didn’t start until April… except that Jenny and Dean didn’t announce their split until May 4th.

I don’t know how one could form a relationship through cheating. You already know they’re a liar! I wouldn’t be able to trust them. I feel like it’s doomed from the start.
+1. How you get ’em is how you lose ’em.
I feel like this is a broad generalization. Stuff happens in life and feelings come into play. I don’t see everything as so black and white—you can be just as unsuccessful in marriage/relationships without cheating. Cheating to me is a symptom of a greater problem in a relationship.
Saying cheating is a symptom of a greater problem in a relationship is also a broad generalization. Maybe it is in some instances. Maybe it is also a symptom of the cheater having issues. Maybe it is a combo of both.
Stop blaming everything on “feelings.” It’s never right to cheat, period. No matter what you “feel.”
It’s a choice whether or not to cheat.
Andrea if you got a hot pocket, fine, but don’t act like you’re some above it all, all knowing type that can excuse bad behavior because we see everything as black and white and only you see the grey. Cheating is wrong in every context. Just end it if you can’t control your feelings and genitals.
I’ve seen some people be better off either way because of cheating. I don’t see it always as wrong. Who am I to judge? I think it is situational. I’ve had friends who were mistresses or had affairs (many of them were women cheating on their spouses) and I just can’t fault them. I just can’t tell them they are bad people or no longer hang out with them. I don’t think it changes who they are or our friendship in any way.
Cheating is ‘situational’ right up until someone cheats on you. It’s never right, it’s always wrong. If you’re not happy in your marriage enough to cheat, you need to be honest and adult enough to leave that marriage – and not after you’ve cheated.
If they’ll cheat with you, they’ll cheat on you.
Amen! +1
Ive said that for years!
Agreed.
Agreed
Annndddd….today is Friday.
Exactly. Didn’t everyone just assume that this started when she was married? Otherwise this would be one epically fast journey from date to serious.
Like a page out of the Tiddles playbook.
Except it started long before and there is far more evidence of overlap, but hey, don’t let facts get in the way.
TB, don’t let your stanning get in the way. It’s pretty obvious TayTo cheated as well.
IKR? I think Star was a little light on content and pulled this one from the “DUH” folder.
I’m tired of this story even though it’s really nowhere, mainly because of the tumblr crazies who are posting their theories and intepretating tweets
Remember when that crazy fan set up a fake blog pretending to be Chris, then hacked his Twitter and was posting pretending to be him? And it was all posts debunking every single relationship he’d ever had as fake? I remember it made out that every single woman he’d ever been linked to was some crazy famewhore stalker had forced him into situations where the press assumed they were dating, and “I, Chris Evans” went along with all these things out of the goodness of his poor naive little heart.
I wonder whatever happened to her. She’s probably setting up Jenny hateblogs as we speak.
No! Spill! How did I miss this craziness?
LOL what madness is this? It is so hilarious but kinda disturbing.
I guess we will never know. Wah wah.
Well her husband should be grateful to be rid of her. If her affections and are so easily moved from him to another (bigger star) man then it was doomed anyway. Hollywood s not the place to find happily ever after, most marriages do not make it to the honeymoon.
Based on her interviews about her teen years, She seems someone with low self-esteem.
A lot of comedians are. It’s the make fun of someone else so they can make fun of you syndrome.
*can’t*
I doubt Slate cares if Evans is a bigger star. He is big as long as he is Captain America. Maybe the marriage was over before.
I agree. Chris himself seems to hate that level of fame, he had to be coerced into taking the role despite how many other actors would have killed for it. All his other movies are considerably smaller too. The guy just wants to make movies and be able to walk down the street too.
They met, fell in love, her marriage was either over or she ended it and life goes on.
Such common sense being spoken above. I see some of the comments and I’m just like, wow, okay.
She met someone, she fell in love, she got a divorce, there are no children involved, life goes on. It’ll all be okay. Yes, her ex is going to be okay. The marriage probably s*cked.
Maybe she did develop feelings for him when she was married, yet i dont see how that makes her a cheater. It is entirely possible she realised she had feelings for another man and that the marriage wasnt working out? I think if there was any actual cheating involved her ex husband wouldn’t come forward to defend her. Its very possible that they were hanging out as friends as they so often said they had really good communication. I definetely agree that cheating is not excusable, im just saying that the situation might be more complicated than we think as we dont really dont know anything about the nature of her marriage. Maybe it was over before she met him? Why so quick to accept that they cheated? I dont know about evans but would like to give her the benefit of doubt.
It must really suck seeing the divorce play out in the tabloids for her ex. “Normal” people have a hard enough time with divorce … but to see articles written on it, and timelines written out must really sting.
I would hate it if my husband, someone I was involved with for 10 years, ran off with someone immediately and then called her his dream girlfriend to the entire world and we haven’t even been apart that long. That really was insensitive.
I was thinking that, too, Erinn.
She created “Marcel the Shell with Shoes On”, which her husband brilliantly animated. She gets all the gold stars in my book. My selfish regret is that we will never get another video from them. Marcel is one of the best crustacean characters ever created and I will forever be in debt to Jenny & Dean for bringing him to life. He is pure joy. The rest of their troubles are their personal business and I wish them both happiness.
Also, vapidly, I thinks she always looks ace.
This is the summer of weird pairings under sketchy circumstances.
Good call! There are some seriously odd couples out there. Although, for whatever reason, this one seems legit to me (legit as in not a PR stunt). For the rest, jury’s still out.
Shock of all shocks. *eyeroll*
Honestly, I like the two of them individually, and initially I was jazzed about this pairing, but the more sketchy details that keep coming out and the whole stank of infidelity ruined it for me. (Although, I think I will always love her voice work on Bob’s Burgers as Tammy and her character Liz from Kroll Show)
I was excited too. I love unexpected pairings. I think that her quirky brand is definitely sheltering her from the media, because this is not a good look and they’ve barely been called out.
Some people seem to need another relationship to leave the bad one they are in. It’s a really bad way to deal with things though. Monkey branching is bad and you lose them how you got them.
“Monkey branching,” I have not heard of that! You are right about people and overlapping relationships. I had two co-workers do that with other co-workers. One blew up within a year, the others are still married almost 20 years later.
“monkey branching,” omg, I love that! It’s a very accurately detailed description, lol
Ha! I’ve always called it Tarzaning. Tarzanung to the next available vine.
Practically all the women I have ever met have monkey branched and I must admit I have too–I have one lined up before I leave the current one typically (doesn’t mean I’ve cheated just put feelers out, seeing if they are interested). I have seen men do this as well.
Wow really? I have never monkey branched. I find the idea of using humans as relationship placeholders really disrespectful, inconsiderate and selfish.
I’ve just seen a lot of overlap amongst men/women I know especially in one’s 20’s and 30’s.
@ Andrea- Upon further reflection, I’ve probably done it when I was casually dating…but I feel like that’s just keeping your options open, you know?
In that scenario, the relationship isn’t officially exclusive and both people are aware that there’s at least a possibility that the other person is dating other people.
That’s different to me than being in a serious, exclusive relationship and not ending things until you have a “back-up” in place. To me, that’s really wrong.
You owe it to the person you’re in a relationship to be honest and up-front if there are issues and give them the opportunity to change. You don’t string them along only to dump their ass when you find a better option.
Yeah, I was speaking a lot about casually dating. I do have one girlfriend that seems to springboard from one boyfriend to another and she is 45 now though.
I honestly don’t think monkey branching (or tarzaning – which sounds way hotter) is based on age.
The one friend I have that does this, she’s in her 30s. One marriage and one engagement have been left behind. The relationships honestly needed ending, but she’s not capable of making that move herself.
It’s not healthy, and it’s not respectful to your partner. Usually at the point you are actively looking for someone, and carrying on what amounts to an emotional affair, well the old relationship is done.
Relationship theory suggests that ending a relationship is based on a number of factors.
The history of the relationship + the current enjoyment of the relationship needs to be greater than perceived availability of a more attractive mate. I can’t find a good example online right now of the article though. It is in textbooks though, so it is at least moderately accepted.
I feel like oftentimes people who are in relationships are trying very hard to make it work, and don’t want to admit anything is wrong, and then they meet somebody that they connect with more than their partner and realize that they’ve been lying to themselves, and end up “monkey branching”.
Yes, ideally, you should be able to look clearly at your relationship and just walk away if some things aren’t working, but I think a lot of great people can’t walk away from something that works 80% of the time until they find someone they feel like they click with 100% of the time.
Such a different situation than serial cheating or creeping on a spouse with no intention of leaving them, in my opinion.
Noooo!!! I refuse to believe it!
👀
I believe! they were already having meetings well before the separation. She and her husband bought a house at the beginning of the year and in the podcast she talks about her husband implying that she’s happy. He recently tweeted that he would rather be a good person than a famous person! Shade!
I like that finally a magazine is saying that he is a homewrecker! If it was a woman, she would be getting all the hate!
I was joking! 😀
Actually he RT’d the tweet. Someone else, Jenny Holzer, wrote that.
I have never related more to any photo than the last one posted. Also this will definitely not last. Him and Minka Kelly are like the fu*ked up destined couple.
@cornyblue: i am with you! I never thought I was going to say this, but I appreciate Minka now. She has a lot more in common with him that he wants to admit…
Chris is obsessed with his image. He always uses his family when he does something wrong, like last year when he said Black Widow was a whore.
Has he ever publicly acknowledged Minka ?
@CornyBlue She was with him in a Gucci party years ago, they arrived together holding hands, both looked very happy: http://www.x17online.com/2012/10/chris_evans_minka_kelly_so_happy_together_lacma_art_102912
She and her husband presumably broke up before it was officially announced, though, possibly some time before. It’s not like you have a fight and pick up the phone to your publicist. Well maybe some people do…
True… it’s hard to say with celebs though. It started filming last October. By March she was out to dinner with Chris and his brother… if the marriage was over to the point where they felt okay seeing other people by the time filming started, why wait until the end of May to file for divorce? I think it’s perfectly possible that the marriage was starting to dissolve, and then the deciding factor on reconciliation vs divorce came when she started being interested in Chris. Not that he wrecked a marriage or anything, but I wouldn’t be surprised if her interest in him helped form her decision.
Jenny & her husband bought a new house at the beginning of the year. They also went on a trip to Mexico together then, and he was at her big premiere of Zootopia with her in Feb. She was also mentioning her husband repeatedly in the podcast she & Chris recorded at the end of Feb. It doesn’t sound like she was headed for divorce for “months” before she & Chris supposedly began dating in March (because that was the initial start timeline, it keeps getting pushed back with each new article lol). It honestly sounds like she and Chris were having an affair and got caught, and now they’re trying to save face.
And Jenny Slate is anything but wholesome girl-next-door! Unless by wholesome you mean a perpetually stoned pothead and you live next door to an adult bookstore / dispensary. This woman is always talking about her pussy and her butthole and her period, that is when she’s not talking about weed. Quirky, yes. But she’s hardly wholesome.
“Wholesome” girls dont discuss their bodies or their period. Got it. Sarcasm aside, I think what the article meant is that her image is wholesome. I dont think discussing your vagina makes you unwholesome but even if it did, most of us have never heard her do so. To us she is a funny girl in a not-vanilla way.
Naya, you must not be a big fan of hers if you’ve never heard her going on and on about her lady bits. She does so. Constantly.
@sylvia 110% with your assessment on this
When I was going through marital problems that ultimately ended in divorce, I did everything but have a last-ditch baby. Big trips, romantic outings. It’s trying to convince yourself that it isn’t over.
Exactly. Plenty of people separate for a few months, date a little bit, and then decide once and for all whether or not to divorce. That could very well have happened here.
Exactly. Plus after several years together, even if they were fighting, it would make sense that she still spoke of him or vacationed with him as he was her family. Marriage and divorce are not like dating, it’s complex and takes time.
It’s just weird because she and her husband were still showing up at events in late Feb, and she was still calling him her husband when they recorded that podcast. Dean was still calling her his wife in March on Twitter when she was going on some talk show.
If she wanted this to go away, theeeeen whyyyyy have him and half of his family at a heavily marketed summer movie (in which she’s starring) premier? Did they (or at least she) wants to brag and hide at the same time?
It’s interesting to see men like Chris and Tom Hiddleston conduct these very low-key relationships with women like Minka Kelly and Elizabeth Olsen…and then switch into something very public.
Makes you wonder why the sudden change?
How is this relationship very public ?
I don’t know that it is very public, but walking a red carpet with someone is very public and something he hasn’t seemed to have done with other longer-term girlfriends.
They are literally the leads of this movie that they are promoting . Its not like they turned up somewhere they should not have been in.
He is not in the Secret Life of Pets–that’s the premiere they went to.
LOL i just saw. I thought this was the movie they were shooting together. Anyway so sorry for being rude.
@ moneypenny: only he didn’t walk the red carpet with her. Took a couple of photos with her once they were inside. Avoided being interviewed and was dressed down for the premier while she was all dressed up. Both dressed like they were at two separate events. Just based on how he was dressed and not so genuine smile in the pictures with her (he looked happier and a lot more comfortable in the pictures he took with his nephews), I’d say he tried to go in incognito and failed.
The constant date change of when they started dating just makes this relationship very sketchy, among many other things.
The only people who wrecked their marriage were the people in it. I hate it when people blame the cheatee, and not the cheater. Usually it’s the other way around (man cheats, woman side piece gets blamed) but sure I will stick up for Captain America today.
If Chris made a move knowing she was still married, he must be blame too. BTW He’s not Steve Rogers!
Exactly. Yeah, she was responsible for leaving her own marriage. But if Chris wasn’t actively interested in pursuing a relationship with her, it would have been pretty awkward for her to leave her husband for him.
Yep. Obviously the cheaters are to blame but the ones who helped them cheat are to blame too.
It’s the married party’s responsibility to say no.
I totally agree! The idea that someone can be a “homewrecker” is so silly. If someone in a marriage decides to cheat, they are the ones breaking their vows, and clearly the home wasn’t so solid to start with. The idea of the femme fatale stealing the innocent husband away is ridiculous, and so is the idea that Evans is such a stud that she couldn’t help herself. Slate is a person, not a pair of shoes – Evans didn’t steal her, she chose to move on.
There are two people involved in cheating. You can “wreck” a happy home. People cheat because they can. It’s not always some Lifetime movie of a woman done wrong who finds new love and decides to leave her horrible husband. Sometimes people are just selfish like that. I love how people want to take all the responsibility off of him like he wasn’t equally guilty.
….or perhaps they felt an attraction, didn’t act on it, and waited until she ended her marriage. When a split is “announced” isn’t necessarily when it actually happened. *Shrugs*
Emotional infidelity is a thing and often occurs way before anything physical. I’ve seen people check out of their marriage and start bonding with someone new way before they ever left their spouse for them.
This is my take, too. They had the hots for each other while filming, but, she was married. But then, they stayed in touch and it became clear at some point that their feelings weren’t temporary. So she splits with her husband and they work out the timing of the announcement/filing with their attorney and/or publicist. I think Chris and Jenny probably had an emotional affair.
Yeah that’s how I’m seeing it. It still sucks for her husband, no matter how you slice it. Still, these things are rarely black and white.
That’s my thought too. None of us really know. Pehaps when you meet someone you click with, you realize that the relationship you’re in is missing something important. At the very least, the two didn’t go public until after her marriage had ended. It’s not like they were pap-strolling and she wasn’t even separated yet. I do feel for her ex though–it can’t be fun to see this play out and speculated on.
I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they hooked up late last year. I’m still curious as to what happened with him and Minka. She was supposed to spend the holidays in Boston last year (and was even spotted with Chris in early December) and was supposed to stay until the new year (according to her friend), but ended up going back to L.A. and posted on Instagram about having the blues, along with a lot of other passive-aggressive quotes about closing the door on someone.
I always forget Minka was around during that time, and that makes another layer of ick to it. She came back from Boston feeling some type of way. Something happened with those two, and I wonder if it was Jenny-related.
@Cat Some fans thought Minka did something wrong, I don’t understand the hate she gets, but I think it was him. And the fact that Minka is not giving much attention to this, she didn’t unfollow him this time as she did when he was with Lucy Pinder, which makes me think that she found out about Chris having affair with JS at the end of last year.
Receipts on the drama if you have any ? On chris or Minka or both ? I cannot believe i follow so many Marvel blogs and know nothing about this
God! The Minka speculation of 2015 was so weird and I am not even 100% sure about this but basically sometime around July last year, Minka broke up with this MySpace guy she was low-key dating. Then she, as usual waited for Evans’ invitation for their annual Fall pap walk. Evans and Minka were, unsurprisingly papped walking her dogs right around the time his directorial debut was receiving very poor reviews. Their photo-op started speculations that they were back together. She was also pictured hanging out at Evans’ place that week.
Then a couple of weeks later, she followed his brother Scott on Instagram and he did too. She also posted an east-coast picture on Instagram telling her friend on IG that she is going to be in Boston soon and there was also a picture on Insta where a friend asked her about her Christmas plans in Boston. So Tumblr thought that she’s going to spend Christmas with Evans. But it never happened. I don’t know what happened between them but Minka was in LA during Christmas liking all passive-aggressive stuff of IG and tweeting about having holiday blues. It was a blast, lurking on tumblr, checking out the crazy reaction of fans…LOL. I live for the drama.
@CornyBlue It’s all on HOAD2 on tumblr. Look December, there are many posts about what Minka was liking on IG.
She was dating a guy from myspace ??
Wasnt she also dating Sean Penn at one point and she showed up at a supposed date between evans and Lily Collins ? Chris is such a fu*kboy lol. Who is Pinder ?
Who wouldn’t drop their husband for their dream seventh grade boyfriend?
Ha, I was waiting for mention of that. Ugh.
‘Drop their husband’! Classic.
She was approving what was posted on her tag on ig a week ago. All persons who posted something negative wasn’t approved and immediately blocked. She only approved the positive aka who was favorable to their relationship.
I might be the odd person out, but I think that Jenny Slate and Chris Evans are a cute couple. At least they didn’t publicize their relationship by kissing on rock by the beach *cough* Hiddleswift *cough*. Also, she is not your average bombshell of an actress, she is a quirky and sweet girl which is even cute because you don’t get girls like that whose man is the CAT’S MEOW.
As a matter of fact, I will look up to her. She gives girls like me hope that I too can have man who is HOTT.
Look up to her? These adulterous life goals.
Right? What is going on here today? So bc she’s not a “slutty disgusting whore” like Kim Kardashian, it’s ok for her to cheat?
Also…he’s a TOOL. Of the first order. See what ALS said below.
“As a matter of fact, I will look up to her. She gives girls like me hope that I too can have man who is HOTT.”
This one sentence sums up why they are getting away with obvious cheating. People are living vicariously through her while ignoring the fact that she was and still is a married woman.
I don’t know why people get so crazy about this. It’s so over-the-top. I just figure I don’t know the people involved and so can’t know all of the true details, and simply cannot form an informed opinion. And you know something? If your husband isn’t going to cheat he’s not going to cheat. My husband isn’t going to cheat. I really don’t care what other people do. I hope they are happy, and I hope her soon to be ex finds happiness too. I am sure he will.
I feel like the reason they work out is beacuse he is just as,if not even more insecure than she is. She gives him an ego boost. The whole “7th grade dream BF” comment is telling. She’s pretty and successful in her own right,and in my opinion could do better than him(looks and muscles aren’t everything). I don’t think they will last.
Honestly, is it really that surprising that tabloids haven’t run with this story? Evans and Slate have stayed super low profile the whole time and her ex isn’t talking. Even the comment about her ex being devastated isn’t confirmed, its just someone speculating that he is probably sad. If her ex comes out and slams them, it will be a different story. But as it stands now, this seems like a really common divorce story – one member of the couple meets someone new, develops feelings, and the marriage isn’t strong enough to survive it. Better they realize it now than a decade later with kids involved.
It’s also because their PR ran with the “quirky girl lands the hot guy” fairytale angle and tumblr is eating it up when the timelines looks so sketchy. They played it smart with the positive spin and added the cute kids in for good measure. No one was trying to hear a story about adultery. Even that People article that talked about how they were inseparable during filming was made to look like it was cute and innocent, and not really mentioning that she split from Dean until the tail end. Add the Hiddleswift drama and who even cares about Chris and Jenny?
This PR spin is horrific and it spits on so many women that really do have self-esteem and would never consider themselves lower than Evans’ muscles.
Above all, this PR spin is telling the world that being funny and smart is just a ploy, what any woman wants is still to get in the pants of a frat boy like Evans. Mindy Kaling, Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, all these quirky women recognized for their talent and wits are in their hearts just desperate to be chosen by the likes of Evans.
ScarJo and RDJ called out Evans’ true character in different interviews. A smart woman would have payed attention. Slate is sad. As evidence is the fact that she is just another woman in this guy’s life that took most of the bad press on his behalf.
That’s a good point, their PR was smart, which helps in the summer of Hiddleswift. Slate/Evans seem to be following the Blake Lively/Ryan Reynolds model – all these years later and still no one knows for certain if they hooked up on the Green Lantern set or waited till he and ScarJo broke up. And at this point, no one really cares. I think the major factor in all of these cases is the ex. Calvin Harris keeps calling out Taylor, so it adds to the gossip. Slate’s ex isn’t terribly famous and he has kept quiet, so there isn’t anyone fanning the flames.
What did RDJ and Scarlett say?
@als Sorry, what did RDJ and Scarlett say? I remember RDJ calling Evans shrewd and Scarlett saying Evans could get very anxious and worked up. Neither of those points seem terribly insulting though. Although, I was under the impression that RDJ, Scarlett, and Evans were all good friends. So I’d be surprised if they publicly insulted him.
Actually, it suggests that her husband was the adult in that marriage.
Tweet posted by Dean on February 25, 2016: my chil af wifey @jennyslate is on The Tonight show 2nite!! I’ll be watching bc she is bubbly & brilliant, and also bc I miss her 😑
He also went to her Zootopia premier (and she said she’s never gone to a huge premier before 🙄). If they were having trouble in their marriage, as some people have stated many times, it looked like they were working things out. They bought a house together earlier this year. He went with her to her Zootopia premier. You don’t buy a new house and tweet how much you miss your wife only to call it quits a couple of weeks later. IF they were having trouble, it looks more like she gave Dean false hope and peaced out the second she knew she would be able to pursue something with Chris.
We don’t know if there was physical cheating during filmig of Gifted, but there was emotional cheating, which is just as bad as physical cheating. It rubs me the wrong way that they both have gotten a pass and none of the big entertainment news outlets have called them out on their BS romance story.
Ooh, the B-level Jen-Brad-Angelina! What a time to be alive!
Hahahahaha! Chris and Jenny WISH they could be Brad & Angie. lol.
Although, why are Brad & Angie such relationship / Hollywood power couple goals? I mean, I will always love Angie, no matter how sickly & frail, no matter how homewrecking, but it always struck me as weird that they are such #goals.
I’ve never understood putting Brad and Angie on a pedestal either, but I guess back in the day they DID open a lot of big movies. Suppose that counts for something.
I don’t understand how people are giving JS a pass on cheating beacuse she is a quirky, average girl! If it was the other way around and chris was married to JS and cheated with Minka, Mk and Chris would be gettinf railroaded in the press and Jenny would be getting the sypmathy. But beacuse she is “normal” she get support for something bad she’s done?? Also it must hurt her that everyone is saying how lucky she is. Like she wasn’t good enough to snag a hot guy so she better be thankful. This whole thing is messy.
Just wait until Chris finds out she doesn’t want to have kids. (She would rather have her face on fire than have them). He’s always going on and on about wanting a wife and kids.
Wait, really? I would think that is a deal-breaker for him, he is always spending time with his nephews and talking about wanting some kids of his own. So maybe this is just a post-divorce fling, although it seems weird they would be so public about a hook-up.
I think they had to be public. I think someone found out about them and was about to spill the beans before the CW press tour ended. The Pr found out and took over (and probably paid the person who knew about the affair off) and the announcement of the divorce was made right after the CW press tour ended. And the “Chris and Jenny are a couple” announcement was a week after that. And they keep trying to change the timeline, saying they first started “dating” in March, then April, then changed it to May. The whole thing is really fishy.
@trilby227 Oh that is interesting. Although if that is true, I’m not holding my breath on this relationship lasting; it sounds like they only went public because they got caught. I think the next big Avengers movie is being filmed at the end of this year, so maybe they will keep up the act till then and then claim the distance was too difficult.
@trilby227 It’s also my thoughts about it. Plus he used his family
I thought all Chris cares about is the girl having a nice ass. He talks about this very often ( actually like twice )
I’m sure he wouldn’t object to that either 🙂 Maybe he is just full of it, but he seems to genuinely like kids and want some of his own. I thought Jenny and Chris might be like Anna Faris and Chris Pratt, where Anna was already married, but she and Pratt fell for each other and that was it. But wanting/not wanting kids seems like a dealbreaker, so maybe Jenny and Evans are more of a short-term thing.
That’s just the Marvel CA PR talking. Classic PR speak to hook the fangirlies and make people think he is decent and has depth because he “wants’ a family. And it worked by the evidence of all the excuse making comments here. He became Steve Rodgers for the duration of his contract but is back to his old self evidently.
And please don’t let there be any kids. I think they’re both messed up, selfish and immature individuals with substance problems. In hindsight that podcast was so much bullsh!t on their parts and shows the level of character of them both.
You’re probably right about it being CA PR. I do know you’re right about them being messy as hell with substance problems and they don’t need to bring any kids into the world. Also about the podcast. That made me incredibly uncomfortable when she started mentioning her husband. That was the only way I knew she was married, because it wasn’t by the way she and Chris were flirting. Wonder if that podcast is what tipped off her husband something wasn’t right?
This whole thing is disgusting. If this had been Chris leaving his wife for any hot, beautiful celebrity, there’d be outrage over what a sexist a**hole he is trading in his longtime partner for a new flavor of the month. Her PR has been able to spin this slightly because nobody really gives a crap about her or is checking for her unless it involves Chris at the moment.
I’m pretty sure, her PR leaked the story back in March before anything could pop off and look shady but it is already shady because Jenny and her husband bought a house together in January meaning they were still very much a married couple. She cheated and is trying to benefit from a basic, unattractive duckling love story but it’s nasty and a complete double standard.
I think Chris wanted to keep this at friends and benefits but since it leaked out, he had to address it in some way and his way was by showing up to the premiere half assed and reluctant as hell dressed like he’s going to the grocery store. Also, there is no record of either Jenny or her husband filing for divorce so maybe she’s keeping him on the sidelines for when Chris drops her.
Actually the article says Both Jenny and Dean filed for divorce in LA on May 20th. That was a few days after it was announced that Chris and Jenny were a couple. Jenny said in the podcast that she and Chris went to see the film “Anomalisa” together, which was released in Dec. 2015. It is the story about a married man who has a brief affair and suddenly decides he wants to leave his wife to be with the person he had the affair with.
The podcast was recorded in March of this year and divorce filings are public record and there is none for this cheater and her husband so she’s still married just like she was when this crap began.
She’ll be back with her husband soon.
THIS! I agree with this! She’s having fun with Chris and getting some publicity for her sad, low budget career. When she’s done she’ll crawl back to her husband. Will he take her back is the real question. RUN DEAN! RUN!
SPOILER ALERT FOR THE ANIMATED FILM , ANOMALISA!!!!!!:
And the film ends with him going back to his wife, after deciding to runaway with his lover, but then BECOMING SUDDENLY ANNOYED WITH HIS LOVER’S QUIRKS.
Dean recently said that he is working on a Marcel the Shell (the project he and HIS WIFE worked on TOGETHER) movie, so yeah, Angie, put me down for a reunion, a brief reconciliation, but still a divorce…and Capn Murika will go unscathed, barring the no more than internet gossip hiss around him. Disney will make SURE of that.
Oh, I absolutely believe that they cheated, and physically, not just emotionally like some people are saying. And if she is smart, she would go back to her husband after this fling with her “dream” boyfriend.
@Angie They’re together, posing on a red carpet. He brought family with him. He’s clearly interested in more than FWB. They’re in a relationship. I’m not sure why you’re trying to deny that.
@KB yea and? My point is once the rumors came out suspiciously right after the “divorce” announcement he never acknowledged her publicly then he shows up looking miserable & awkward as hell about it at the premiere. I think he needed to address it or deny it in some way once it was leaked by her PR; his way of addressing it was by showing up with his nephews to deflect the situation & quickly step all the way back.
Do you think if they were in such a “loving relationship” there wouldn’t be fan pics/sightings? C’mon.. her team is trying to sell this hard. So obvious.
She looks and acts more like a mom in love with her precious boy. And he looks like helpless young man with issues.
They look depressing.
He’s certainly got issues, but “helpless young man”? He’s 35 years old!
The thing that puzzles me is why go public in such a major way and then go into hiding? They havent been spotted together at all since the premiere. You only hide when you’ve done something wrong. People have seen him and seen her but never them together. They know what they did and they know people are adding it up. Im not buying what they are selling. I hope they mess each other up and her husband gets everything in the divorce.
Good job Star and Celebitchy for not being sucked into the PR machine that this is a cute love story. Tell the truth about it! Jenny is a cheater and Chris is a homewrecker. End of story.
They weren’t really spotted much before the premiere either. The announcement came then there were a few alleged sightings on Twitter and then nothing.
Keeping a low profile before an announcement makes sense. To maintain it to the point where it seems like they’re intentionally hiding after the premiere is fishy. Especially from someone like Jenny who tweets and IGs everything and anything about her life including bodily functions.
wrong thread
They’re not exactly hiding. You can search social media and find people running into him or her and taking photos with them. It’s just that he is pretty good about going underground inbetween projects and she isn’t all that famous, so no one is really bothering her. It looks like they’re just around, being relatively normal, in Boston this summer.
So I know this sounds crazy, but I still wonder if this whole thing is a set-up. It has raised her profile considerably in a year where she has several projects. And conveniently, very few mags seem to be pointing out the potential cheating. Even the Star article ends on a nice note, suggesting they were meant to be together. I just think it is really weird that Slate is supposedly involved with Evans to the point of leaving her husband, but hasn’t been seen with him outside of the Pets premiere night. Maybe they are laying low till the divorce story blows over. But if her marriage was already over, this relationship with Evans was a smart way to get people talking about her, about their film, and even about the rumored Marcel the Shell movie.
Ive thought about this too. The major sticking point for me is, where is the benefit for Chris? This definitely boosts her but it does nothing for him Well nothing positive for him. Especially the whole cheating and homewrecking aspect. If anything this tarnishes his image.
You think the general movie going audience care about who cheated on who ? His Cap will continue to succeed and make money and earn praise while Jenny Slate might have to suffer but even then people’s minds are fickle.
He gets street cred for all his hot air about liking “normal” women by dating a non bombshell girl next door, and they both get press for their indie movie. CE desperately needs to find success outside of marvel. Personally, I think it’s a sketchballs real relationship, but could also be an opportunity someone’s PR saw after that weird podcast, and didn’t take into account the timeline, or underestimated how close the Tumblrites would look and how deep they would go. They’re nuts, but what they’ve found is pretty solid and they likely knew the truth before anyone. Regardless, I think it’s safe to say with the weirdness of how this has been handled, (i.e. The ever-changing, contradictory timelines) something is up. Either a real relationship founded in infidelity or a fake one current culture is too shrewd and media-aware to eat up.
Slate is more of the “homewrecker” here than Evans. And ol’ Cap might want to keep in mind that if she’ll cheat with you, she’ll cheat on you.
I find it funny how everyone over here is slamming Jenny and Chris when everyone’s favorite couple Anna Farris and Chris Pratt did the EXACT same thing years ago. Anna and Chris played love interests in a movie. She was married at that time. She fell in love and emotionally cheated on her husband with Chris. Went home, asked for a divorce and immediately started officially dating Chris. Same thing happened here.
Justin Theroux left his girlfriend with whom he was together for 14 years to be with Jennifer Aniston. Natalie Portman and her husband fell in love on set while he was with someone else. Plenty of people have fallen in love with someone new whilst being in a relationship.
It does look shady but I guess if they really like each other then who are we to judge. Sometimes it takes years for a relationship to end, sometimes it takes a day. We don’t know what really happened. We can only guess.
Jenny’s husband on Instagram mentioned that all is fine and that everyone needs to relax. Maybe their divorce was amicable. Yes, he must be sad but I guess that the relationship wasn’t strong enough from the very beginning. If it had been than Jenny would have never fallen for Chris. Personally, I like them together.
I did not know that but thank you for yet another reason to dislike Pratt 😉
Hehe…thanks!..:)
I think the great Tiddlesbang of 2016 is overshadowing every celeb news in the world right now so Evans and Jenny are able to take their relationship undercover and apart from Celebitchy, no one is actually talking about them at all. This will probably be forgotten in a few months.
Pratt and Anna are having problems these days too. Alcoholism, cheating, etc.
Oh DO tell!!!
Exactly, The more I learn about Pratt the less I like him…
I think his last name says it all.
I don’t understand how anyone can justify cheating because some other celeb couples have done it & it turned out “great”. Cheating from either end is awful & is bound to come back around. How you get ’em is how you lose ’em.
Chris Pratt & Anna Faris are just as wrong for doing that. Watch Pratt leave her ass for a hot, young thing now that his Hollywood star is rising rapidly. The outrage will ensue but she deserves it for cheating. Also, Anna claimed they didn’t get together until they were divorced to sell the sweet, cookie cutter image. Please
I know cheating is bad and a lot of celebs have done that but only a select few get slammed while others get away with it. The timing is super shady but I personally like them together. To each his own I guess.
I like them together too. They always make me laugh and their son Jack is adorable.
And don’t forget CB’s fav couple Brad and Angie (see above).
Sorry I didn’t get to finish my editing – I’m obviously talking about Pratt and Faris who I think are great as a couple. I’m with Tiffany on this one.
I’m finally getting my sister to watch Guardians of the Galaxy, which she was refusing to watch because Pratt is a conservative – but since some of her best friends and close relatives are conservatives I think that is a pretty hypocritical stance. I’m extremely liberal – but it’s just a movie FFS.
And as much as I like Cap, the only thing I know about Evans is that he’s a manwh@re and the only thing I know about Slate is that she swore on SNL. Which has happened before. Quel surprise!
But Anna admitted it and owned it. She was the bigger star when they got together and her career took a hit. There were no games, rumors with them. There is no changing the narrative. She fell in love with someone else, left her marriage and took up with Pratt.
Trust me when I say, I am no Leanne apologist, but where is the heat on him for breaking up a marriage? He basically did the same thing she did and the media seems to be giving him softer press. It’s Such a double standard.
Where is his vilification? I swear I see more and more male/female inequality in so many things the older I get. It sucks.
You could be right about the media treatment–frankly, I don’t follow them so I wouldn’t know. But I can tell you that at least around here, Ediot gets a rightful heap of sh*t from all the commenters.
But if you recall a lot of the press was about a “dumbing down” of Eddie. I got the feeling that they were trying to excuse his actions by blaming his intellect (or lack there of) so they still weren’t truly holding him culpable, that buck was passed to Leanne.
The takeaway from the LR/EC post-affair mess is to avoid courting constant attention via social media, interviews, pap strolls, etc. He seemed to keep a lower social media presence (some speculate she was running his account), which may have helped him deflect some of the criticism.
For my part, if no one else does it in a thread, I try to bring up his name so he gets equal billing. 😉
If anything he’s being praised for choosing a less attractive woman when he could go for models. SMH. It’s so gross. The media should be ripping him to shreds for busting up a marriage and her too for cheating on her husband.
He is such shit and media always forgets just how much of an ass he is. And I say that as a huge fan of his Cap and thinking he is very very hot.
Of course she developed feelings for him while she was still married. It’s called a CRUSH. She is living out her teenage fantasy, and this pretty much ends one of two ways: either she realizes that reality is very different when you’re a grown-up and the teenage fantasy doesn’t match up with that, or they’ll live together forever in immature happiness.
It’s only a matter of time before he cheats. He’s not the most faithful guy in his relationships. I hope Jenny’s ready and can handle it.
According to CDAN, he already has. How true that is remains to be seen.
Thank you, Celebitchy. I just assumed Evans was being given a pass yet again because, you know, he’s Chris Evans.
He’s probably praying for a Hiddleswift wedding now. 🙂
Everyone’s a cheating apologist until it happens to them or they see it destroy the lives of someone they love.
THIS X 1,000,000!!!
Why are people calling her unattractive?
Because she isn’t “classically beautiful.” But she is very cute and has a banging body.
Attractiveness is subjective. IMO she’s unattractive. Her body is OK at best but that face! NOOOO! Aside from his body he isn’t anything special either.
Have you seen her in Obvious Child, in the scene where she’s dancing around in her underwear? If that isn’t a banging body….
http://s1060.photobucket.com/user/balencestochexi/media/tumblr_n8kmxreaff1twsxt5o1_500_zpstptpqnup.gif.html
Some would say yet another way that means they’re supposed to be together and don’t pay attention to the PR man behind the curtain.
Maybe that’s what they are–a pair of banging bodies banging. Not much to base a relationship on.
@Algernon – def a banging body. As usual, the woman is the only one in underwear and he´s all dressed.
I don’t know. Maybe no one is calling out the cheating here is because no one really cares with all the real news, not to mention the overwhelming recent celebrity stories. Their “love” story is overshadowed by swifty and tommy and depp versus amber story is deffinitely much bigger scandal and this cheating story. And frankly, as someone who is not very invested in the Marvel cap franchise (I saw only civil war out of the 3 cap movies) felt like he was just a part of an ansable and not someone carrying the movie. If cap’s relationship with bucky is the main thing that makes cap’s character interesting watching it I felt like it’s Sebastian Stan’s acting that made that aspect of the movie subtantial, more emotional and interesting, not Chris. Sorry. But as I mentioned I’m not a fan and it’s not my intention to insult any Cap fans. Maybe I am wrong. It’s only my personal impression.
I’m a huge fan of the Captain America franchise and I couldn’t care less about Bucky. Bucky is not why Cap is good.
Bucky is the only interesting aspect of Cap, otherwise there’s nothing to him.
I disagree. I think Cap is a very interesting character and his arc from being so pro-government in the first movie to being anti-government in Civil War is the best arc they’ve had in the MCU.
I have an inside connection to one of the parties. I will not name which person I am associated with. Choose to believe me or nor but I will not debate anyones opinion.
Chris and Jenny began a platonic friendship while filing their Gifted project. While in production their friendship advanced into what is being called an affair. After the conclusion of filming Chris and Jenny both returned to their partners and resumed their relationships. After remaining in close contact, photos and texts were discovered by Minka, Chris’ then girlfriend. Minka was inconsolable and returned home where she refused to take calls or texts from Chris, she even blamed Scott for hiding the affair from her. Chris made many attempts to repair the damage to their relationship during this time and suffered from depression.
Chris and Jenny spoke on many occasions and remained close. Jenny was very open to the idea of a real relationship with Chris. The two hooked up casually a few more times until it was no longer casual. Jenny then broke the news to her husband Dean. Jenny’s husband was hurt but also suspected the affair for several months. His feelings were absolute that if Jenny no longer loved him he did not wish to continue the relationship and agreed with taking steps toward divorce.
The affair began circulating six months ago and in that time Chris and Jenny grew concern with how the public may perceive their relationship. The conflicting of dates publicly acknowledged has varied due to Megan and Ron heading controversy. Your name is your reputation in the business and neither Chris or Jenny want to see anyone’s name especially their own tarnished. Both are very aware of the support and opposition circulating for some time now and why their families are outwardly supporting them.
Chris and Jenny are very much in love and intend to stand by each other during this scandal. Their belief is their relationship is between only each other and it is not uncommon for people fall in love, ending marriages.
Either you’re a:
(1) PR plant
Or:
(2) A delusional stan
Or his Mom. Again.
Nah, his mom probably ain’t feeling Miss Basic having an affair with her son because of what she’s been through and now being so “in love” lmao
@ Anne Anon: LOL! Been on LSA, I see! You need to try better, boo. Try not spilling tea and putting together a timeline put together by posts from LSA next time. 😉
Well at least the stans are now acknowledging the milk is dirty with these two. That’s progress😂. Now the spin into the twulurve story that excuses all begins lol.
@ Fire Rabbit: And I just read someone say on Tumblr that they still get a pass if there was only emotional cheating and no physical cheating when they started their affair. WTF?!?! GTFO of here with your BS!!! How old are these kids?
These stans need to take a seat! They should not give their two cents on s**t they don’t understand and should not give their opinion if they have never been cheated on by their significant other. I hate to break it to you kids, but emotional cheating IS just as bad as physical cheating. Just wait until it happens to you. Just wait!
Hi Jenny! Listen, I know you’re really happy now that you got rid of that appendage known as your husband so you could have your “dream boyfriend,” but fanfic is really not your strong suit, especially given that you plagiarized all of this from tumblr blogs and LSA threads. Please consider rewriting this before turning it in for your final grade.
C-
You tried.
Oh I totally believe Jenny wrote this ! She is not sure of her position at all and is trying to make it happen. Outside looking in, since Jenny has been in the picture there has been a lot of chaos to a lot of people, she has a soft sell exterior but she wants what she wants. Not giving Chris a pass, from the beginning he had no business having an emotional relationship with SOME ELSE’S WIFE !! It’s not high school there are grown up consequences.
Interesting….I too am connected to one of the parties (on a daily basis). However let me just say…..happiness is something everyone deserves as long as it’s absolutely “sincere”. I don’t think Chris should be used as her “ticket to bigger and better things” nor should he utilize her as a cushion for rebound with ending relations from Minka.
If true sincerity is involved with BOTH , then let the blessings begin. And if not, then the truth will unfold at some point….it always does. So in reality, I feel as though it’s their lives and they should live as they wish. 😊
I’m connected to both parties as well, since I’m having sex with them.
Anyone else feel like bringing up her connection to one or both of them?
People who really know what’s going on aren’t going to be talking about it here, or anywhere else.
very interesting…
Ya I caught the jealous back and forth between Chris and Minka, end of May roughly and it actually had nothing to do with Jenny! Jenny knows she’s the runner up. Still feel she’s the one feeding the flames on this one, and Chris plugged Jenny in to soften the blow.
@Ash
LOL! Gawd, I love insiders. They definately wouldn’t air the dirty laundry here but I wouldn’t put it past them to troll.
.
hahahaha These comments are getting even better! 😂
Or he finally got caught with his hand in the proverbial cookie jar and is having to ride this out?
All I know is that podcast (of which I only caught a few minutes) was awkkkkkward because it was as if you could hear them smiling at one another! Their flirtation – for lack of a better term – was palpable, and when she mentioned her husband I was so confused!!!
@Arielle-
You’d think, wouldn’t you? But I think his friends and family do whatever they have to to enable him atp. He hides behind them when he f’s up, with their compliance. Gotta keep the business up and running.
I hope they are and will be happy. Who knows what happens in a relationship. maybe love is gone and some people prefer to stay in the relationship because they feel safe or don´t want to be alone. You never know.
I love love her red dress, but they look akward in the pics. Hope he behaves this time.
Since I knew zip about Slate before this thing broke, I looked her bio up online. Have to say, I got the same special snowflake vibe off her background that makes Lena Dunham so radioactive a presence in the media.
I guess she is all that and a bag of chips?*
There are pictures of jenny and Chris from the set of gifted, where Chris is lifting his shirt and she’s eyeing him and the podcast, where jenny is looking at Chris very lovingly and even the pics from the premiere, she had his hand on his stomach, which is okay even as friends. But anyways, my point is you always see her being so lovey dovey towards him but he doesn’t look at her like that. He seems more affectionate with his female marvel costars. Regardless of all of the speculation and craziness with all of this, I just have a feeling that they’re not actually dating. And their appearances together could either be as friends or to just give their film relevancy.
All of this.
I was saying it all along, people didn’t hate Angelina because Brad dumped Jennifer for her, but because Angelina is a knock-out bombshell and much more beautiful than Aniston. And people don’t forgive that. But Jenny Slate is a regular average girl who caught a better looking star and now nobody cares.
Oh yeah, and nobody hated Brad Pitt for some reason?
I guess it’s always the other woman/man’s fault.
Wonder if Evans will get a backlash for this (probably not).
Karma’s gonna come for Cap and Tammy. You don’t do the dirty without paying for the privilege.
Is there a straight woman alive who doesn’t have feelings for Chris Evans? Whether it lasts or not, who cares. Get it, Jenny!
Yes, me… LOL
@Silvie Nice. I wonder if that is the advice you would give to a woman who develops feelings for your boyfriend or husband.
“I do think that Slate’s “quirky” vibe is working in her favor as far as press coverage goes. If she looked like a “bombshell,” people would have more to say.”
But Adriana Lima is a bombshell. She left her husband for her boyfriend and people don’t care. She is always the good girl.
Of course Jenny Slate developed feelings for Chris Evans when she was still married…
I have been following Evans since Fantastic Four days and he ends up in this Mess.
So much for Buddha quotes and Family values……Dude has lost his Way!!
It will all end one day and all you are left with, is who you really are.
Pick a side and live it, you can’t have it both ways.
No one gets through life without messing up….no one! Now that he’s got these 3rd tier women out of the way, I here Elizabeth Olsen might still be single. Now that’s worth watching !!
