Chris Evans and Alba Baptista Announce the Name of Their First Baby
Hollywood’s beloved Marvel star Chris Evans and his wife, Portuguese actress Alba Baptista, have officially revealed the name of their newborn daughter — Alma Grace Baptista Evans.
The couple welcomed their first child together on Friday, October 24, 2025, in Massachusetts, a source confirmed to PEOPLE. “They’re enjoying their privacy and these special first few days as a family with their baby,” the insider shared.
This marks a major milestone for the Captain America actor and the Borderline actress, who tied the knot just over a year ago.
From On-Screen Hero to Real-Life Dad
At 44 years old, Chris Evans is embracing a new and exciting chapter of fatherhood. Known worldwide for portraying Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Evans has long expressed his dream of settling down and starting a family.
“That’s absolutely something I want: wife, kids, building a family,” Evans told PEOPLE back in 2022, shortly before marrying Baptista.
Now, with baby Alma Grace’s arrival, that dream has become a reality.
Inside Chris Evans and Alba Baptista’s Love Story
Evans and Baptista were first linked in January 2022, though they kept their relationship incredibly private. A source later confirmed that by late 2022, the two had already been dating “for over a year.”
The couple married in September 2023 at a private estate in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, surrounded by close friends, family, and a few of Evans’ Avengers co-stars.
The Warrior Nun star and her Hollywood husband have since been spotted attending a handful of events together, including the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Beverly Hills, where they looked radiant on the red carpet.
“He Knew She Was the One”
A source close to the couple told PEOPLE that Evans “got serious very quickly” after meeting Baptista in Europe, saying, “He kept saying he knew she was the one.”
“He has been ready to settle down for a while,” the insider added. “He can’t wait to have a family. He was just waiting for the right girl.”
It’s clear that the pair’s deep bond has now blossomed into a family of three.
Chris Evans on Becoming a “Superhero Dad”
During a November 2024 interview with Access Hollywood at the premiere of his film Red One, Evans was asked whether he sees himself as a “superhero dad” like his co-star Dwayne Johnson’s character.
“Yeah, I hope so. Yeah, absolutely,” Evans responded with a smile. “The title of dad is an exciting one.”
Fans now see that sentiment come to life as the actor steps into his newest and most personal role yet — fatherhood.
Who Is Alba Baptista?
Alba Baptista, 28, is a rising international star best known for her role in Netflix’s Warrior Nun and her recent appearance in the indie film Borderline. Born in Lisbon, Portugal, she began acting as a teenager and quickly earned acclaim for her performances across European cinema.
While Baptista and Evans have largely kept their personal life private, they occasionally share glimpses of their happiness on social media — making their growing family’s joy all the more heartwarming to fans.
A New Chapter Begins
With the arrival of Alma Grace Baptista Evans, Chris Evans and Alba Baptista join a long list of Hollywood couples celebrating parenthood in 2025.
As the Captain America actor once said, “When you read about most of the best artists — actors, painters, writers — it wasn’t the work they made that they were most proud of. It was the relationships, the families they created, the love they found.”
For Evans and Baptista, that love now has a name — Alma Grace.
