Personal life

Evans was born to father Thalmage Eugene Evans, an American citizen, and mother Vivien Mercado Nicolas, a Filipino. He has two half siblings. His biological father left his mother before he was born. His father was serving in the United States Air Force at that time. He eventually found out from his uncle that his biological father had died from a heart attack on June 10, 2010.

Evans has a daughter with former partner Johnelline Hickins (daughter of former '80s star, Coca Nicolas).[1] On October 3, 2013, Evans married Katrina Fariñas, who belongs in a prominent political family in the Philippines. In 2014, they welcomed their first child.[2] Evans also adopted Fariñas' son from a previous relationship. In 2015, Evans announced that they were expecting their second child together.[3]

Evans' former live-in partner Johnelline Hickins had him arrested and detained at a precinct jail in Pasig on October 21, 2012, after he allegedly hurt her and her brother during an altercation at their home, a day prior to his 26th birthday. Evans was released 2 days after on a ₱200 bail. The camp of Evans, however, denied that the actor inflicted any injury against his then-girlfriend and her brother.[4] In a statement, Evans' legal counsel Gerly Rico said there was indeed an altercation among the three but denied that the actor injured Hickins and her brother, adding that Evans only fought back in self-defense.[5]
