Chris Evans is officially stepping into a new kind of superhero role: dad. The “Captain America” actor and his wife, actress Alba Baptista, have welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Alma Grace Baptista Evans.
Born in Massachusetts at 1:27 PM on a Friday, baby Alma marks a sweet new chapter for the couple, who tied the knot just over a year ago. Chris, 44, and Alba, 28, wed in a private ceremony on Cape Cod in September 2023 after going public with their relationship on Instagram less than a year earlier.
Fans started speculating about a possible pregnancy over the summer, when a Father’s Day tribute posted by a fan account raised eyebrows. Alba’s father, Luiz Baptista, left a heartwarming comment that many interpreted as a subtle hint: “Your turn is coming!”
Though the couple and their reps have kept things quiet, this latest development confirms what many fans hoped for. It’s a picture-perfect evolution of a romance that reportedly started with instant chemistry during a European meeting. According to friends, it was “love at first sight.”
Earlier this year, Chris listed his Hollywood Hills mansion for $7 million, reportedly to relocate closer to family. With their daughter now arriving safely, the move eastward makes perfect sense.
Congratulations to the growing Baptista Evans family as they take on their most rewarding roles yet.
