Captain America Chris Evans Welcomes Daughter with Alba Baptista
In one of the sweetest surprises of Hollywood this year, Chris Evans and his wife Alba Baptista have quietly welcomed their first child together. According to reports the “Captain America” star and his Portuguese actress wife had a baby girl in Massachusetts over the weekend.
The newborn’s name is reportedly Alma Grace Baptista Evans, a moniker that honors both parents—with the surname “Baptista Evans.” The little one arrived on October 24 in Massachusetts.
From Married Life to Mini Me — The Back-Story
Evans and Baptista tied the knot in a private ceremony in September following a thoughtfully kept courtship. The actor, long vocal about wanting to build a family one day (“the title of dad is an exciting one,” he once said), appears to have excitedly turned that dream into reality. Their reticence on announcing a pregnancy only added to the surprise. Hints had surfaced—such as Baptista’s father cryptically posting “Your turn is coming!” on Father’s Day—but the official news still caught many fans off guard.
Why This Moment Hits Different
- For a star known for superhero-scale bravado, this marks a more intimate and personal chapter.
- Both Evans and Baptista have expressed that their relationship wasn’t just about Hollywood status—it was about creating something meaningful together.
- The soft-launch of the news aligns with the couple’s preference to keep their private life out of the spotlight even as Evans inhabits a massive public persona.
The newly minted father-and-mother appear to be embracing this new role quietly, away from red carpets and into the quiet joys of early days with their baby. One can expect Evans to scale back temporarily on action roles and fully lean into father-hood for the moment.
