Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans have been long-term friends since they were in their teens. Their friendship has been familiar to a point of it seeming extremely natural and comfortable. They have done multiple movies together and even appeared on talk shows with one another. They are easily one of the most wholesome platonic duos to be part of the Hollywood industry.

The Relationship Between Chris Evans And Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans met on the set of The Perfect Score in 2004 and have since done eight movies together, with their upcoming venture marking the duo’s ninth film. While the two have done various movies together, they only played lovers in one. The Nanny Diaries is the only movie that saw Evans and Johansson as a couple. Their relationship evolved from being co-stars to best friends. They have been with each other through thick and thin.

Their most prominent roles are in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Natasha Romanoff and Steve Rogers. The two and their on-screen as well as off-screen dynamics were highlighted the most in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Both of them were working together in the film to uncover the truth about the Winter Soldier and Steve Rogers’ old friend Bucky Barnes. Surprisingly it has been none other than Johansson who convinced the actor to take up the shield. Their friendship grew a lot during their time in the MCU. Their early years, on the other hand, had been rather simple and the two lacked such a connection.

Were Chris Evans And Scarlett Johansson Ever Dating?

The answer to that would be a simple no. Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans have never been in a relationship. The two have purely remained friends throughout their entire time knowing each other.

“Any excuse to get close to Chris Evans is delightful … At this point, we’re old and jaded, so it’s like, ‘Bring him on!’ No big deal. Pop in the Tic-Tacs. Get the cameras rolling.”

She has confirmed that even when the actress has to kiss Evans in front of the camera, it is no big deal for them because they are both mature adults. Their dynamics are purely platonic and even if the movies would require them to be in a relationship, that would never affect their real life. Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson have never been in a relationship with each other and have always been friends, despite all the rumors.
