Renowned American actor Chris Evans, remembered worldwide for his role as Captain America in The Avengers cinematic universe, has just taken on one of the most important roles of his life: that of a father. At the age of 44, Evans and his wife, Portuguese actress Alba Baptista, 28, welcomed their first baby at the end of October 2025 in Massachusetts, USA.
The news was confirmed by several U.S. media outlets, including PEOPLE, which verified the information after an initial report published by TMZ on October 28. According to official records accessed by the tabloid, the birth took place on Friday, October 24, and it is a girl, whom the couple has named Alma Grace Evans.
So far, neither of the actors has made any public statements about the birth, consistent with the reserved and discreet profile with which both have handled their relationship since the beginning.
The secrecy that characterizes Evans and Baptista is not new. Since rumors of romance began in 2021, the couple opted to keep their relationship away from the media spotlight. The first suspicions arose when the actor’s followers noticed that Alba had started following Chris and several members of his family on Instagram, which fueled speculation about a possible sentimental link.
However, the official confirmation came until January 2023, when Chris Evans posted a video on his Instagram account titled “A glimpse of 2022”. In the clip, intimate, everyday moments could be seen alongside Baptista, marking the first time the actor publicly shared images of his personal life.
Since then, their relationship has remained private, with few public appearances and no statements to the media about their family life.
Chris Evans and his wife: First signs of pregnancy
Speculation about a possible pregnancy began in mid-2025, when a fan posted a Father’s Day tribute on social media dedicated to “Chris and Alba’s dads”. What appeared to be a simple message of admiration drew attention to a particular detail: the comment from the actress’ father, Luiz Baptista, who responded believing the message came from Evans.
“Thank you very much dear Chris, your turn will come!” wrote Luiz Baptista.
The comment was interpreted by followers as a hint of a possible pregnancy, which would later be confirmed with the arrival of little Alma Grace.
The romance between Evans and Baptista began discreetly. As reported by PEOPLE, the couple was first spotted in public in January 2022, although a close source revealed that the two had already been dating for more than a year.
“He keeps saying she’s the one,” a source told the U.S. media outlet, noting the seriousness with which the actor took the relationship from the beginning. Another close person added that Evans fell in love during a trip to Europe and that “he was ready to settle down.”
“He can’t wait to have a family. He was just waiting for the right girl,” the insider added, anticipating what has become a reality for the actor today.
After more than two years of relationship, Chris Evans and Alba Baptista married in September 2023, celebrating two intimate ceremonies: one in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and another in Portugal, the actress’s native country.
During a panel at New York Comic Con 2023, Evans spoke briefly about his wedding, describing it as a deeply emotional and special experience: “It was really great. It was wonderful, beautiful days,” the actor recalled to his fans.
With the birth of his daughter Alma Grace, Chris Evans begins a new phase of life focused on family, away from the Hollywood spotlight. Throughout his career, the actor has been known not only for his talent, but also for his reserved lifestyle and his desire to keep his private life out of the headlines.
His wife, Alba Baptista, known for her role in the Netflix series “Warrior Nun,” has also shown to prefer a discreet profile, focusing on her career and family environment.
As the world celebrates the arrival of the couple’s firstborn, Evans and Baptista continue to prove that love, stability and privacy can coexist even in the entertainment industry.
