Actors Jenny Slate (L) and Chris Evans arrive at the premiere of Fox Searchlight Pictures' 'Gifted' at Pacific Theaters at the Grove on April 4, 2017 in Los Angeles, California.Emma McIntyre—Getty Images  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Nov 30, 2017 6:47 PM UTC This holiday season, we can be grateful for one small, treasured gift: the gift of the pure love that exists between Jenny Slate and Chris Evans. The Hollywood couple are here to help the internet believe in love again. They show that relationships aren’t perfect, but that there is hope. That sometimes, two souls can reconnect. That action-hero stars and female comics are opposites who just might attract. That we all have something to root for in the new year. Evans, who’s best-known for his role [as Captain America](http://time.com/4766832/chris-evans-joe-walsh-tweet/) in the [_Avengers_ universe](http://time.com/5039977/avengers-infinity-war-first-trailer/), and Slate, whose early claim to fame was as the voice of [Marcel the Shell](http://time.com/3639741/marcel-the-shell-fleetwood-mac/) (and, later, as the actor in [_Obvious Child_](http://time.com/2827820/obvious-child-movie-review/)) first started dating over a year ago. Their relationship quickly became a fan favorite — and they promptly broke the internet’s heart when they announced their [separation](http://time.com/4708310/jenny-slate-on-chris-evans-breakup/) in February, although they [continued to say kind things](http://time.com/4718209/chris-evans-jenny-slate-friendly-relationship/) of each other and to maintain that the split was amicable. But! Hope springs eternal. As does their love. [_People_ has confirmed](http://people.com/movies/chris-evans-jenny-slate-back-together/) that Slate and Evans are back on, as witnessed through a joint real-estate-shopping outing in New York recently and as evidenced in their continued [social media chatter](http://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a13073942/chris-evans-and-jenny-slate-flirting-on-twitter/). “We all love each other so much, and it’s a real, real love,” Slate once told [_People_](http://people.com/celebrity/jenny-slate-on-what-makes-ex-and-gifted-costar-chris-evans-beautiful-inside-and-out/) of her and Evans, back when they were first a couple and promoting a movie together. So, yes, love is real. It’s a Christmas miracle. And people are thrilled about it. > [](https://twitter.com/ditzkoff/status/936262950209359879) > [](https://twitter.com/Nicole%5FCliffe/status/936263502234206209) > [](https://twitter.com/vie%5Fcachee/status/936292387219009536) > [](https://twitter.com/allisongeroi/status/936264017164808193) > [](https://twitter.com/alyssavingan/status/936263629795622915) > [](https://twitter.com/ppyajunebug/status/936267300969345025) Jenny Slate and Chris Evans Get Back Together ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5043323/chris-evans-jenny-slate-dating/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5043323/chris-evans-jenny-slate-dating/"},"headline":"Jenny Slate and Chris Evans Are Back Together This Holiday Season","datePublished":"2017-11-30T18:47:47.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:48:59.017Z","description":"The holidays have come early","url":"https://time.com/5043323/chris-evans-jenny-slate-dating/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Love"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltea5e42ba7d1315de/6988f333bc6cfc59c23e4247/jenny-slate-chris-evans.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltea5e42ba7d1315de/6988f333bc6cfc59c23e4247/jenny-slate-chris-evans.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Premiere Of Fox Searchlight Pictures' \"Gifted\" - Red Carpet","caption":"Premiere Of Fox Searchlight Pictures' \"Gifted\" - Red Carpet","creditText":"Emma McIntyre—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5043323/chris-evans-jenny-slate-dating/","name":"Jenny Slate and Chris Evans Are Back Together This Holiday Season"}}]}] ```
