Hollywood actor Chris Evans and Portuguese actress Alba Baptista welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Alma Grace Baptista Evans, on October 24, 2025, in Massachusetts, according to TMZ. The celebrity couple announced the news two years after Chris Evans and Alba Baptista married in 2023.
Determined to preserve their private life, Evans and Baptista never publicly announced the pregnancy, even after months of rumors. Luiz Baptista, the father of Baptista, fueled the rumor in June when he captioned a Father’s Day photograph, “Many thanks, dear Chris. Your turn is coming!” The couple are now anticipating an official confirmation from them, as they have kept their family life under wraps.
Evans, 43, has long expressed his wish to have a family. Talking to People in 2022 when he was named Sexiest Man Alive, he said, “That’s something I definitely want: wife, kids, having a family.” In 2024, he called fatherhood “an honor” and added, “The title of dad is an exciting one.”
The couple initially sparked romance rumors in late 2022 when they were photographed together in Central Park, New York. They publicly confirmed they were a couple with a red-carpet outing together at the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Evans and Baptista wed in September 2023 in two low-key ceremonies — one at Evans’ Boston home and one in Portugal — where guests were required to sign NDAs and surrender their phones for discretion.
In January, Evans confirmed that he asked Baptista to marry him in Portuguese, saying, “I learned how to say, ‘Will you marry me?’ and practiced all week,” though he laughed that nerves made him “mess it up.”
Lisbon-born Baptista was a familiar face as an actress from the Netflix series Warrior Nun (2020) and most recently appeared in Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris (2022). Apart from acting, she’s also famous for her philanthropic efforts towards education in Cambodia.
