American actor Chris Evans and his wife Alba Baptista have welcomed their first child, a daughter Alma Grace Baptista Evans, in Massachusetts, on October 24, 2025, according to TMZ reports on Tuesday.

The couple is yet to officially announce the arrival of their baby girl. While they never shared the news of their pregnancy, Alba’s father, Luiz Baptista, commented under a Father’s Day post on a fan account by writing:

"Many thanks, dear Chris. Your turn is coming!"

This fuelled the fan speculation that Chris Evans and his Portuguese actress wife were expecting.

Notably, Alba Baptista’s parents are Luiz Bapista and Elsa Bapista, who are an engineer and a professional translator, respectively, according to PEOPLE.

The news of their newborn comes almost two years after the couple got married in an intimate ceremony in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in September 2023. The wedding was attended by their industry friends, including Robert Downey Jr. and his wife, Susan, Chris Hemsworth and his wife, Elsa Pataky, John Krasinski and his wife, Emily Blunt, and Jeremy Renner.


Everything you need to know about Alba Baptista’s family

Alba Baptista was born in Lisbon, Portugal, in July 1997. Her mother, Elsa, is of Portuguese origin but was born in Hamburg, Germany, in 1961. Elsa met her future husband, Luiz Baptista, when she travelled to his country, Brazil, for work.

Luiz is a mechanical engineer who once worked as Siemens' Chief TFA in Isfahan, Iran, according to Distractify. Meanwhile, according to Elsa Baptista’s profile on Babelcube, she is a translator, proficient in German, Portuguese, and English and has attended German schools Hamburger Fremdsprachenschule and Hoehere Handelschule.

Throughout her career, Alba Baptista’s mother worked at both government and private companies, including the Brazilian Consulate in Hamburg, the Berlitz School of Languages, Siemens AG, and German-Portuguese Chamber of Commerce. She has worked in legal, commercial, and technical fields. Elsa enjoys literary, religious, spiritual, and new-age translation work.

The Warrior Nun actress has two siblings, a brother named Renato Baptista and a sister named Ana Luisa Baptista. Not much is known about them.


Chris Evans, 44, and Alba Baptista, 28, were rumored to be dating in 2021 after meeting in Europe while working on separate projects. Later, they were spotted at the same place and at the same time on multiple occasions. However, none of them confirmed the reports.

In November 2022, PEOPLE exclusively confirmed that the couple had been in a relationship for “over a year” and were “serious.” Subsequently, in early 2023, Chris shared an Instagram post captioned, “A look back at 2022,” featuring photos of his time together with Alba. It was followed by a Valentine’s Day post. Seven months later, they walked down the aisle in a private wedding.

During his 2022 interview with the publication after being named the “Sexiest Man Alive,” the Captain America star noted that he was “very content” in his personal and professional life.

"When you read about most of the best artists, whether it's actors, painters, writers, most of them [admit] it wasn't the work they made [that they are most proud of], it was about the relationships; the families they created, the love they found, the love they shared," Chris added.

Evans continued by saying that he, too, was looking forward to “building a family” and having a wife and children.
