Last week we learned that Chris Evans and Jenny Slate had broken up. We actually don’t know when it happened, just like we don’t really know when they first got together. I suspect Chris and Jenny got together when they worked together on Gifted back in 2015, when she was still very much married. I also suspect that as soon as Jenny became his official girlfriend, Chris was sort of over it. My guess is that they probably broke up a month ago? So is it any surprise that Chris was already acting single and ready to mingle two seconds after the breakup was announced?
Chris Evans is a bachelor again after his split from Jenny Slate … and he looks a lot like a bro on the prowl. Chris was partying in Houston Saturday night with some childhood friends, where we’re told he invited a few ladies from a bar back to his buddy’s private mansion shindig nearby.
Sources tell us one of the girls looked dead-on like his ex, Jenny, but with red hair. What followed next was nothing short of a good old fashioned bro fest … backwards hats, SOLO cups and all.
We’re told Chris was raging pretty hard — along with the other guests, who left behind underwear in the pool — and even jumped over a couch just ’cause … albeit, it was off camera. Return of the Cap?
Yeah, I realize that some of you have a crush on Chris, but I’ve suspected for a while that he’s kind of a douchebag about women. I think he sort of plays up the neurotic aspect of his personality to lure women in – “Oh, I can fix him!” – but really he just likes to hook up and have casual flings with a series of random brunettes and redheads. I feel a little bit sorry for Jenny Slate because now I think she believed their fling/affair was the real deal, that it was love and that they could really have something. Sad.

Okay, I am getting old. What does “raging pretty hard” mean? Because my mind immediately went into the gutter, when I first read that line
It’s a play on the term “rager,” which is a party in which the alcohol is flowing like water. It basically means he was partying like it was 1999 in a Las Vegas frat house.
Thanks for the explanation because I was posting the same question.
I am also old. What is a SOLO cup?!
Those red plastic disposable cups. There is even a song called Red Solo Cup lol. College Keg party staples.
Either too old or too British, because I have never heard of it either.
Ok. So bro-style drinking in the US comes with backward caps and crappy plastic cups. I understand now! In the UK, it comes with throwing up in the middle of a busy high street and threatening to fight any hapless passers-by.
And with that, I return myself to my deadline.
@Ainsley I see. College Keg parties aren’t really a big thing in the UK, at least they weren’t when I was a student. We just go to bars and pubs. Back in the old days they didn’t even check IDs, I was being served alcohol in pubs from aged 14, but I did look older.
We had a group of UK students come over to our university for about two weeks. We had a small “welcome to the USA” party, with the requisite “this is a University sanctioned function” party supplies (cake, University catering finger foods of various types, and….. red solo cups). I can’t tell you how pleased the students were with the Solo cups… or how many pictures they took of each other holding one. We eventually had to take a group picture of them all holding red solo cups in various poses. Apparently the plastic cups are synonymous with partying in the US? As faculty we felt very proud to have somehow produced something “cool” and “insta” worthy.
for solo cups, think of those red cups you see in every teen movie that has a college or high school party scene. solo cups, kegs, beer pong, flip cup…
i’ve had cousins in the uk and other countries about them.
Sixer – I didn’t know what a Solo cup was until maybe 4 years ago?
but then a lot of American brand names are used as synonyms for the item itself – it took me ages to work out that “Saran wrap” is the same thing as cling film. And I can’t bring myself to call tissues “Kleenex”.
Sixer,
LMFAO at “backwards caps & crappy plastic cups.” You have basically earned your doctorate in Americana at this point.
CB keeps me young, vernacular wise, too 🙂 but I am sure were this a British site you would have many, many confused americans.
I stumble on simple stuff like bell end, tosser, bonked, and am sure that is old slang.
I state my usual feelings on this: I don’t care what consenting adults do on their own time. Just don’t sh*t on woman when they do the same thing. This being said, I honestly don’t know where people get the energy to party like this into their thirties. I was over it by 25 or so.
Same! I think the last party I went to was in 1997………
I kept going into my thirties. I only really slowed down at about 35, when some sort of biochemical intervention decided to introduce me to the concept of the one drink hangover. Now it is only weekends and only when I am not tired or stressed. I don’t have a problem with consenting adults partying either, if the same rules apply for everyone and there is no deception involved, then it is their business what they do.
As long as everybody’s safe and responsible, I don’t particularly care either. It’s not my jam, but my sister is certainly still doing it, and she’s only two years behind me. I’m just legitimately baffled by the logistics of finding the time to do it if you aren’t living a lifestyle with that much free time, lol.
To stop yourself having a hangover, try a rehydration powder before going to bed.
Works for me because I don’t have to have much before I get the headache in the morning.
I too have experienced “biochemical intervention” in the last year or so – and am still coming to terms. I used to be immune to hangovers – no matter how much I drank. These days, a second margarita does its best to kill me before the sun rises the next morning.
Consenting adults + no deception = none of my business. As to the partying hard – remember Chris doesn’t have a 9-5 job 50 weeks of the year.
SAME all Around for me Girls: He MIGHT be a Douchelord ( and by God he skews) BUT as long as he puts it out and women want it Vaya Con Dios Mofos, Use protection! … But also Partying at the advance age of mid 30s.. Fammmmm I went to a Lapalux DJ set in Miami ( a good hour and change distance for me – just cause i Adore him) and when we got there guy at the door says he won’t come until like 1.. IT WAS 11pm!!!! I was SHOOK my friends, at 36 I’m not built for hard drinking or staying Late ALSO I had to check that we weren’t the oldest people in there !! ( Oh God This is gonna keep happening to me! March I’m going to see Beach House and the goal is : MORE LIVE MUSIC.. What Am I Thinking!?!?)
@QQ
I just had to come on here and give you a high five! I love Lapalux, most people over here don’t seem to know who he is!!!
Also the fact that you actually went out past the age of 35 to a concert is amazing!!!
I would have walked up to that door heard the 1am start time and turned around and went to bed…
You are my hero of the day 🙂
Pray my Strength Friend, i be into THE CHILDREN musicwise so Of Course I’m starting to be the Old witch showing up at function Overdressed and high
Also OMG why Is he not huge!!?!? his sounds are an experience, No?!? (His opening dj was this guy called Lautlos, local kid AMAZING so I ended getting into his stuff too!)
So he’s acting like a single man now he’s single? Right.
I have piles more respect for him now he’s taken on arch racist David Duke.
Me too. I hope his twitter exchange with Duke ends with the Capitan clocking that vile little worm. And I’m a pacifist and don’t usually think of things like that.
Been doing so for over a week now too.
This. David Duke tried to shame him for dating other ethnicities. Much respect to him for setting that racist straight.
Guys are amazingly resilient when it comes to breakups. Like, they’re ready to get on someone else 30 seconds later.
i never saw any difference in those things between men and women. i mean we are not in the 1950s anymore. women also go out to hook up with hot guys after a break up.
Idk. My ex was with someone else before we broke up, and public with her 3 days later. I’ve seen other posters share similar stories. It just seems like women are different emotionally, and we have to take the time to feel all our feelings before get with someone else. Not all women, of course. And then with men, again not all of them, they prefer to move right on and feel all their feelings later.
i’m not fond of saying men do this women do that either. also because not everyone is straight, and this seems to apply mostly to straight couples who are still stuck in their traditional roles without even realising it. if women behave like men they’re always crucified and called horrible names, so they’re often conditioned to think they don’t want to sleep around anyway.
It depends on the man and the woman involved and the nature of their relationship and break up. There are so many variables I don’t think generalizations are helpful.
Alright, fair enough. I’ll amend my original statement.
Some people are amazingly resilient when it comes to breakups, and I’m astonished that they’re ready to get with someone else 30 seconds later.
“Some people are amazingly resilient when it comes to breakups, and I’m astonished that they’re ready to get with someone else 30 seconds later.”
Me too, Shambles. But I think everyone is different. I never slept ‘around’ and it always took me months (after the first breakup 3 years!) to recover from a breakup. However, I’m the exception because the majority of my friends did not have any issues to date someone else just after the breakup or shortly later….
I was one of those women that once it was over was all about the next casual encounter. Did it get rid of the heartbreak, nope, but I sure did have fun…
I dont often stan for celebrities but I will always have Chris Evans back here. I think he gets a terrible wrap. He just got through a breakup, let him party. So his private life is a bit messy but so is Idris Elbas and a bunch of others. He is by no account abusive and dates very appropriately aged women, so why should we care so much.
I wish we would highlight the fact that he is not just a self indentifying feminist but he arrives when he needs to (see his support for Pink Pussy Hat and his condemnation of Last Tango in Paris). Furthermore, just a few days ago he went one on one against David Duke on twitter. Thats the kind of stuff that should truly matter, not whethe TMZ speculates that he had a rebound threesome.
i’m a fan of neither, however they really were a odd couple imo.
and i don’t blame him for partying/hooking up with randos, many people do that after a break up. it’s not like he’s getting married 5 minutes later.
So is he a slut then, like Black widow?
Burn, LOL.
Yep he sure is, look at the number of women he’s been linked to, he’s a total slut. 😏
(No we are not going to let him forget that one.)
No sympathy for her. She didn’t care how her “seventh grade boyfriend” comment would effect her ex husband. If a guy traded in his plain wife and said what she did about his new, hot, conventionally attractive girlfriend there would be no feeling sorry for him. He’d be called a douche that is getting his just dessert for dumping his wife. And when the new girlfriend dumped him everyone would say how she finally realized he was a dick and deserved better. Maybe Evans isn’t a douche and was just flattered that Slate, who some consider smart and I believe graduated from Columbia university was even interested in him, but once being around her realized she was douche .
This was my take too as far as feeling bad for her. If my guy and I split and he made a comment like that shortly after, about another woman, I would feel a bit hurt and humiliated. And even if I hadn’t thought we had split over someone else at the time… I would start thinking that there was something going on that I hadn’t known about.
I read over at Lainey that she started crying at one of her shows last month. She’s taking it really hard, which now makes me think she did leave her husband for him.
ETA: Her husband (now ex) is actually a cutie pie.
Yeah, I found the husband way more attractive than Chris Evans, who’s never done anything for me. He just looks like your garden variety frat bro douche. I do feel kinda sorry for Jenny in this situation, especially if she gave up a loving husband for her 7th grade crush, who dumped her after less than a year.
Ugh, he’s my bro-crush. I know he’s a bro. I know he probably does keg stands and tells fart jokes and will hit on/sleep with any consenting woman in make-up, a miniskirt and heels…. but I can’t let him go. He definitely falls in the category of fun for a weekend, but not taking him home to mama. He seems like a very sweet bro, though, with a good heart.
Bout to go off on Chris whichever one he is (evans, pine, i cant even remember?) and jenny:
He is so blah, personality wise. His acting is terrible. The movie that was his pet project and he wrote and directed with Alice Eve was also sad and unfinishable.
I hate Jenny Slate’s voice, but look at how much funnier and how much of a better writer she had to be to get anything made (her abortion movie)
Honey he is shallow. Sorry. I am sorry you likely threw your marriage away for this bland Generic.
This guy can keep bro-ing it up, at least then I would not have to see any more of his dumb*ss milquetoast movies where he shows us a six pack and that is supposed to cover all his sins.
also his twitter wars against david duke do nothing for me, I would like to see this guy do more showing he understands his privilege (besides his pretty privilege), and Jenny you keep making complex movies about abortion.
Chris didn’t write that movie he directed. He just directed it.
Thank you! I meant directed and produced. Chris Evans writing would have meant giving him too much credit.
“other guests, who left behind underwear in the pool”
Ew.
no mention of his twitter exchange with david duke? continuing the tradition of cap punching nazi.
anyway, i don’t really see a big deal with his partying. he’s single. he was happy that his team won. eh.
i feel like i should feel bad for jenny slate and the demise of her relationship with her dream 7th grade boyfriend, but i don’t. she once had a boyfriend and a husband at the same time, and now she doesn’t.
Yeah, that “7th grade dream boyfriend” comment, which I didn’t even see until the breakup stories, did NOT age well. I mean, Chris Evans is super freaking hot and, therefore, a LOT of women’s “dream boyfriend” … But when you’re actually dating him, saying so is just weird. Ditto the celebs who marry older actors and say they used to have a poster of them in their room/locker … Kinda creepy, actually, not cute, because you’re dating an actual, flawed human, not a pin-up.
Also, I don’t feel “sorry” for Slate exactly because, yeah, male or female, it’s not a great look to leave your spouse for a hotter model. But as much as I can sympathize with breakup pain, she kinda needs to withdraw, if she can’t handle her stuff in public. I read the Lainey post about crying at shows — Lainey also noted they were cuddled up as recently as New Year’s Eve (with photos), so this is new — and had, even before the breakup, since I follow them both, noticed Slate was tweeting at/about Evans, which was unusual, since that rarely happened before. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but knowing now it was after they were dunzo, it seems kinda’ desperate (especially since that hadn’t been their relationship norm). I mean, just drunk text and call him privately, girl. Makes me wonder if the break-up leak was his people; to force her to reel it in.
I know Evans has worked hard to redeem his frat bro /shirtless hunk image, but honestly he’s kinda of a charming Lothario and that seems to be who he actually is, so I say roll with it. Speaking for my shallow self here: his being super hot and that GQ interview were he was massively flirting with the reporter actually made me like him a lot MORE, not less. Now that he’s all “above” Cap taking off his shirt. Eh. Whatever.
I get the vibe that celeb or not, Evans has never, ever had any trouble finding companionship. Which, you know, good for him. Be your cute Boston Bro, party, beer & family-loving self. He doesn’t seem like an ass to the women he hooks up; so no harm, no foul. And I bet he can ride this whole, ‘I can change him,’ wave of women well into his 50s.
Say what you will, but Marvel struck gold with him as CA. He is just so good in that role. I’ll prob go see “Gifted” bec the cast looks great.
Re Jenny- clearly she overestimated the level of feeling he had for her. Her earlier comments when their relationship first became known were so Ick-“seventh grade BF”??- but she was clearly smitten. I am sure she’s feeling at least some remorse at this point.
I mean, I know he’s a total bro, but he’s also single, an adult and, as fas as I know, didn’t force anyone into sleeping with him. Just as long as we don’t sh*t on women for doing the exact same thing, I don’t see the problem. Also, I saw him going OFF on that Duke guy the other day on Twitter, and that was pretty amazing.
This video leaking right after the breakup was announced almost makes me feel like Slate dumped him and he wants to show he’s fine. He’s always kept his social life pretty locked down before.
As for her crying: maybe she’s very belatedly realized she made a huge mistake dumping her husband for a fling?
I agree. We have never seen any leaked videos of Chris and his dude-bro partying ways, like ever. Conspicuously, now, after his first real public breakup in years, we see this? Nah. Too coincidental. He keeps his sh!t too tight. This was no accident. Reminds me of that time RDJ said in an interview that Chris is a lot more calculating and shrewd than you would ever know…
Nah, people are saying she is taking it really bad, crying at show etc. read post above… i dont think it was serious for him.
That’s what I was referring to Steph – we’ve all just been assuming she was upset over Evans, but what it’s instead a delayed reaction to her marriage ending?
I have a couple of friends (who were not married) that were in rough spots in relationships, met someone who seemed “better,” jumped straight to that relationship, and belatedly realized they’d made a huge mistake. As a friend, it was hard to watch because we had all tried to warn them, and the fallout from the second relationship ending was brutal.
Chris never publicly claimed Jenny as his girlfriend, so why would he need to leak a video showing that he’s fine?
I doubt he ever really cared about her beyond a fling gone wrong.
From Jenny’s side, however, it’s obvious she knows she messed up. Now she doesn’t have a husband or a boyfriend.
Since Chris keeps quiet about his love life, I’m pretty positive that Jenny was the one who released the breakup statement. Just like she was the one who released the info about them being a couple.
yeah, his post-breakup activities include DRAGGING the so-called “Grand Wizard” of the KKK, what he does in his private time (and I mean actually private, not ‘posing for paps’ private) with other consenting adults doesn’t bother me.
irl he doesn’t do anything for me but he really is perfect as Cap, and more than ever when he’s basically being an irl Cap (his post-election tweets)
Absolutely yes.
Eh. Chris Evans will always have my respect for standing up to the KKK leader. He has been so good on twitter, and whatever has been the catalyst of that has been good for him. About the breakup and Jenny, everyone makes mistakes and they should have the privacy to make them an deal with them on their own.
People cheat. That’s not what I’m up in arms about. people cheat and it sucks but most of the time they either go their separate ways or work it out. What bugs me is that she LEFT her HUSBAND for a known womanizer who had nothing to lose as opposed to her (as much as I like Chris) and bragged about how he’s her dream boyfriend with no regard to her ex. She left her ex because she thought the grass is greener. So no, I don’t feel bad for her. You made your bed and now you get to lay in it.
Breaking up with her the same week her divorce finalized is cold. He clearly wasn’t that into her, it was just another onset poke for him. She should have known that, but when it was clear she didn’t, he should have at least let her go far earlier than he did. I think he strings women along for whatever power trip it gives him, for as long as it entertains him, and he isn’t as innocent a douche-bro as others insist. This video though, meh. He is single and out having fun.
I don’t know about his personal character but to me he looks like a basic dude bro. I hate the term basic beyatch for women, but if the term applied to men then he would be one. No offense to his fans. He just looks extremely typical and if you didn’t tell me he was a movie star person I would have no idea.
My 17 year old daughter saw the video reblogged somewhere and showed it to me and said, “And another crush bites the dust” (she lost interest in Hiddles after the TS episode). When your 17 year old daughter thinks a 35 year old man is acting like a frat boy… then he is.
So no offense to your daughter – and I say this as someone who is not a partier – but it was one night. He was having fun with friends. I know 35 seems ancient to 17, but it’s not. My college friends and I quasi-revert to our college-era selves when we’re all together (minus flirting with guys, given the majority of us are married and we just want girl time), partially because we’ve been friends for a long time and it’s fun to be with people who remember us when we were 18 and stupid.
Well, I’m 6 years older than Mr. Evans and I definitely think those photos were not indicative of someone sliding peacefully into 40, and whatever site my daughter was looking at had a whole series of his “party hard” shots that were obviously over several years. I’ve never been attracted to the dude bro type and I find it funny that the PR machine tries so hard to play up his positive characteristics, which I’m sure he has, and then someone with a cell phone ruins it. I wouldn’t want to be a celebrity and I feel sorry for him. I’m glad my daughter revognizes that he might be pretty to look at but his type is not her type in real life. And I love pointing out that all these actors she thinks are cute are much closer to my age than hers!
Single guy having sex. Call the morality police.
I like him. He seems like a good guy with lapses in judgement. In other words, he’s human. He’s been fighting the good fight against the evil empire since before the election. I’m with Cap. All day.
…to the end of the line.
So long as the dude takes precautions and one hopes that he is….
