Chris Evans and Alba Baptista have welcomed their first child, a baby girl, into the world. The couple, who married in September 2023, are now parents to a daughter named Alma Grace Baptista Evans. The baby was born on Friday, October 24, 2025, in Massachusetts.
News of the arrival first broke via TMZ, and was later confirmed by PEOPLE. A source shared with PEOPLE that the couple is currently relishing their privacy and the special initial days as a family.
Evans, 44, and Baptista, 28, have maintained a notably private relationship since they were first linked in January 2022. A source revealed that they had been dating for over a year by November 2022. The couple solidified their commitment in September 2023 with a wedding ceremony held at a private estate in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
In the past, Evans has spoken about his desire to settle down and start a family. In an interview with PEOPLE in 2022, he expressed that having a wife, children, and building a family was "absolutely something I want". An insider also told PEOPLE that Evans was ready to settle down and "couldn't wait to have a family," noting he "was just waiting for the right girl".
At the premiere of his movie Red One in November 2024, Evans was asked by Access Hollywood if he thought he'd be a "superhero" dad one day, like his costar Dwayne Johnson's character. Evans responded optimistically, "Yeah, I hope so. Yeah, absolutely. The title of dad is an exciting one".
Evans and Baptista have largely kept their relationship out of the public eye. The wedding in 2023 saw a small circle of family and friends gather for the occasion.
The birth of their daughter marks a new chapter for the couple, who have found both love and family amidst their successful careers. Evans, known for his role as Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has expressed a desire to act a little less, and has mentioned wanting to spend time with Alba Baptista. Baptista, a Portuguese actress, has also been working in the entertainment industry.
For now, the couple is said to be enjoying their time as a new family, embracing the privacy they have carefully cultivated throughout their relationship.
