Chris Evans' very different life with wife Natasha after chaotic celeb marriages
Chris Evans is well known for his whirlwind marriage to 18-year-old popstar Billie Piper and a sometimes volatile relationship with Carol McGiffin, but after the chaos came the calm - and his most important decision yet.
The TV and radio star, 57, has been diagnosed with skin cancer, he announced live this morning as the Virgin Radio broadcaster confirmed that doctors gave him the diagnosis recently, discovering the condition while it was in the early stages. It comes just four years after Chris said he had a cancer scare after discovering marks on his body.
He won't be without unwavering support, that's for sure. He married his wife Natasha Shishmanian in 2007 and he shares three sons and one daughter with the professional golfer. The 38-year-old and Chris met back in 2005 and they tied the knot two years later after falling in love while hitting a round.
Chris has recently given a rare glimpse of his life as a dad with Natasha as they piled into a camper van which he calls Monica. He uploaded photos of the family tucking into their lunch. Chris said eldest son Noah is banned from having a mobile phone saying the teen isn't yet ready.

Billie Piper has described her marriage to him as like going to "uni" as she "got completely hammered for three years" - they tied the knot in Las Vegas with radio DJ Chris back in 2001 when she was 18 and he was in his thirties. Billie recalled their "reckless, amazing" marriage before they separated in 2004. They divorced in 2007, but remained good friends.
Before Billie, Warrington-born Chris, who also has a daughter Jade, 34, with his former fiancée Alison Ward, was married to another famous face - Loose Women panelist Carol McGiffin. But it didn't end well. From the bizarre wedding and reception to volcanic fights and Chris announcing their divorce on air - without telling his wife - according to Carol, the romance turned her into a "crazy, dependent, idiotic human being."
The pair first locked eyes when Carol was working as a producer for cable TV channel Music Box in 1988, and Chris was doing a report on the network for his radio show in Manchester. "He came into the office, all legs and bright orange hair - but it was the oh-so-confident swagger that got my attention," she wrote in her autobiography, Oh, Carol! The rows got so frequent and fierce that Chris moved out, but when she tried to end things for good in September 1991, it didn't go as expected.
"He asked me if that was what I really wanted. No, it wasn't. He then posed the question: 'So what shall we do? We could get married,'" she wrote of his shocking reaction. She continued: "He'd suggested this twice before but I'd said no because I thought he was only doing it to either wind someone else up or to see if he could get me to say yes. This time, against my better judgment, I said yes."
Recalling one of their worst arguments on St Patrick's Day in 1992, she wrote: "We'd started arguing in a pub so I went home. He stormed in and we began having the altercation from Hell. Things were being lobbed all over the place - glasses, plates, bottles of red wine, chairs, everything - including deeply personal, hurtful insults.
"Chris topped it off by hurling my full-length-mirror over the balcony of the mezzanine. It came crashing to the floor bringing an abrupt halt to the madness."
