SHANNA HAS A FAMOUS FAMILY

While Chris is one of the most in-demand actors in Hollywood, he is not the only one in her family who is well known. His brother Scott Evans is another actor and producer who played in films such as "One Life to Live" and "Grace & Frankie."

Their sister, Carly or Carolyn M. Evans, also chose this path, known for the 1984 film"The Bill. She is also a drama teacher at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School in Boston, Massachusetts.

Chris is family orientated; when acting in the movie "Jacob," he felt happy because the set was close to home and his immediate relatives. He said:

"I'd sleep in my own bed; I'd see my family on weekends. A lot of times you have a bit of a nomadic lifestyle as an actor. You live out of suitcases and cities you're not familiar with. Doing 'Jacob' made me feel like I was home but still doing what I love. It was incredibly comforting."

He spent a lot of time with all three of his siblings while filming this movie. Chris also has a close bond with his mom, with a habit of calling her only ten minutes in advance to let her know he is coming over for dinner.

His mother, Lisa Evans, is also a famous actress; she married the Evans siblings' father, George Robert Evans III, in 1977. A film she is widely associated with is "One Life to Live."

She is also the sister of the former United States Representative Mike Capuano, and so effectively, he is the uncle of all four of her children. Shanna also has a biological brother, although not famous, Tim Spooner. The two managed to get in touch in 2017 via phone and then met in 2018.

SHANNA IS A MARRIED WOMAN

With all her sibling's presents, Shanna married Graham Enman this year. They initially met six years earlier at mutual friends' housewarming party, after which they became Facebook friends, chatting endlessly online. The two saw one another again at the same mutual friends' wedding, with an online statement from them reading:

"It was clear there was something special between us. A few weeks later, Graham asked if we could make it official."

It then said that the pair got engaged two years after dating. They prepared a wedding website that outlined the attire as a "cocktail," stating that the ceremony was at "The Barn at Gibbet Hill" on April 16, 2022.

Like Shanna and her private internet presence, her now-husband is also a low-profile person with a private Instagram. No matter how out of sight the couple is, famous names played significant parts in their wedding in the form of Shanna's siblings.

Spooner, the only non-famous brother, was a wedding escort, alongside Scott, the officiant, Carly, the Matron of Honor, and Chris, the Man of Honor.
