Chris Evans and Alba Baptista have quietly welcomed a new chapter in their lives – parenthood. The celebrated actor, known globally as Captain America, and his wife of two years are now parents to a baby girl.
Their daughter, named Alma Grace Baptista Evans, arrived on Saturday in Boston, Massachusetts. The choice to bestow Alma with both of their surnames speaks to a deeply personal connection and a blending of their worlds.
The couple intentionally kept the pregnancy private, choosing to savor this intimate journey away from the public eye. Hints emerged in recent months, including a playful comment from Baptista’s father, anticipating Evans’ turn at fatherhood.
Evans had previously expressed his desire to become a dad, openly sharing his excitement about the prospect during an interview. He described the title of “dad” as “exciting,” a glimpse into his heartfelt longing for a family.
Their love story unfolded relatively quickly, with the pair first spotted holding hands in late 2022. Reports soon followed, revealing a relationship that had blossomed over a year, with sources describing Evans as profoundly happy.
The couple solidified their commitment in 2023 with not one, but two wedding ceremonies. An intimate at-home celebration in Massachusetts was followed by a beautiful event in Baptista’s native Portugal, honoring her heritage.
Guests at both ceremonies were asked to maintain complete privacy, a testament to the couple’s desire to protect their personal moments. The weddings were attended by close family and friends, including several of Evans’ Marvel co-stars.
Evans later described the wedding planning as demanding but ultimately rewarding, emphasizing the joy of simply enjoying life with his wife afterward. He spoke of embracing the beauty of autumn and the peace of quiet reflection.
