Chris Evans becomes a father: he welcomes his first child with his wife, Alba Baptista
‘Captain America’ star Chris Evans and his wife, fellow actor Alba Baptista, are now embarking on parenthood.
After two years of marriage, Chris Evans and Alba Baptista have officially entered a new chapter in their lives: parenthood. The Captain America star, 44, and his wife, 28, welcomed their first child together on Saturday in Massachusetts, according to TMZ.
The couple has yet to publicly share the baby’s name or gender, but the news has already sparked a wave of celebration across social media, with fans flooding platforms to congratulate the new parents.
Evans and Baptista tied the knot on September 9, 2023, in an intimate ceremony held at a private estate in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
The wedding was a closely guarded affair, with guests reportedly required to sign non-disclosure agreements and surrender their phones before the festivities began. The guest list included several of Evans’s Avengers co-stars, adding a touch of Hollywood glamour to the coastal celebration.
Who is Alba Baptista?
Baptista is a rising star in international cinema. Born in Lisbon, Portugal, she first gained widespread recognition for her breakout role as Ava Silva in Netflix’s Warrior Nun (2020-2022), a fantasy drama that marked her English-language debut. Baptista’s performance earned her acclaim and a devoted fanbase, paving the way for roles in international productions.
Before her Hollywood breakthrough, Baptista built a strong career in Portuguese television and film, starring in series such as A Impostora, Filha da Lei, A Criação, and Jogo Duplo. In 2022, she appeared in the historical dramedy Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris, further showcasing her range and elegance on screen.
Fluent in five languages - Portuguese, English, Spanish, French, and German - Baptista comes from a family of academics and linguists. Her mother is a translator, and her father is a Brazilian engineer. She attended a German school in Lisbon, which helped shape her multilingual abilities and global perspective.
A private love story
Evans and Baptista were first linked in early 2022, though reports suggest their romance began in 2021 while both were working on separate projects in Europe. The couple made their relationship Instagram official in January 2023 with a playful video montage of them pranking each other. Since then, they’ve remained largely private, rarely appearing in public together and keeping their personal life out of the spotlight.
