Lily Collins & Chris Evans: Date Night Crashed By Chris’s Ex

It started off like any other date. Chris was joined by Lilly for a romantic dinner at an Italian restaurant on March 21, reports PopSugar. It may have even been a belated birthday party, as Lily turned 26 on March 18. Happy Birthday, Lily!

Chris and Lilly continued to hit it off, as the two were reportedly talking and having fun that night, enjoying the early exciting stages of their new relationship. Photos show the couple laughing and being happy as they wrapped things up before exiting the Italian restaurant.

But was it all fine and dandy for these two lovebirds during their dinner, or did Chris have to call for backup from the other Avengers? It turns out that Chris’s ex, Minka Kelly was also seen dining at that same restaurant that very night!

Awk-ward! Minka and Chris dated for close to seven years before finally calling it off in 2013. Was this a fiendish plot for Minka to crash Chris and Lily’s night out, or was it just one of the worst coincidences of all time? If it’s just a coincidence, we have to feel for everyone involved. That had to be uncomfortable.

Luckily, everyone was able to make the best of it as there is no reports of a clash between the two former lovers. Though we imagine that both Chris and Minka will think twice before booking another reservation at that restaurant in the future.
