Chris Evans and Alba Baptista Welcome Their First Child, Alma Grace

Chris Evans and his wife, Alba Baptista, have welcomed their first child, a daughter named Alma Grace Baptista Evans. The couple reportedly celebrated this joyous occasion on Friday in Massachusetts. Although they have not made an official announcement regarding the birth, multiple publications, including TMZ, have confirmed the news.

The couple has consistently maintained a private life since they began dating, which became public knowledge in late 2022. A source close to PEOPLE indicated at that time that they had been in a serious relationship for over a year. When Evans was named PEOPLE’s 2022 Sexiest Man Alive, he expressed his desire to start a family, stating, “That’s absolutely something I want: wife, kids, building a family.”

In September 2023, the couple married in a private ceremony. During a panel at the 2023 New York Comic Con, Evans shared that they celebrated their union with two ceremonies—one on the East Coast and another in Portugal. He described the planning process as “a lot,” but added that the events were “wonderful and beautiful.”

Evans has enjoyed a remarkable career, widely recognized for his roles as two major Marvel superheroes. He first portrayed Johnny Storm in the Fantastic Four films under the 20th Century Fox banner. His most notable role, however, has been that of Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, beginning with Captain America: The First Avenger in 2011. Following his character’s departure in Avengers: Endgame, Evans has explored various genres, starring in projects like Ghosted, Red One, and Materialists, while making a brief return as Johnny Storm in Deadpool & Wolverine.

Alba Baptista, a talented Portuguese actress, is best known for her role in Netflix’s Warrior Nun. She has also appeared in Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris and Magnetick Pathways. With the arrival of their daughter, all original Avengers actors are now parents, marking a new chapter in their lives.

The couple’s decision to keep their family life private reflects their commitment to maintaining a sense of normalcy amidst the spotlight of fame. As they embark on this exciting journey of parenthood, fans and followers alike are eager to see how this new chapter unfolds for the beloved stars.
