Hollywood actor Chris Evans and wife Alba Baptista have revealed the name of their newborn daughter. The couple, who married in September 2023, welcomed their first child, Alma Grace Baptista Evans, on Friday, October 24, 2025, in Massachusetts, according to PEOPLE.
A close source confirmed that the pair are “enjoying their privacy and these special first few days as a family.” The Marvel star, 44, and the Portuguese actress, 28, had previously expressed their desire to build a family together.
The news marks a major milestone for Chris Evans and wife Alba Baptista, who first sparked relationship rumors in January 2022. After dating privately for over a year, they tied the knot in a private Cape Cod ceremony in September 2023.
Their daughter, Alma Grace, is the couple’s first child. Sources close to the pair described the moment as “deeply special,” noting Evans has been “ready to settle down for a while.”
Evans, known globally for portraying Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has frequently spoken about his aspirations to start a family. Baptista, best known for her role in Warrior Nun and Borderline, has also maintained a private personal life away from Hollywood spotlight.
Quotes and Reactions
During an earlier interview with PEOPLE, Evans said, “That’s absolutely something I want: wife, kids, building a family.” He added that his proudest achievements aren’t his films, but “the relationships and families people create, the love they find and share.”
At the premiere of his 2024 film Red One, Evans was asked by Access Hollywood if he thought he’d make a “superhero dad.” He responded, “Yeah, I hope so. Yeah, absolutely. The title of dad is an exciting one.”
An insider further revealed that Evans “knew she was the one” after meeting Baptista in Europe, adding, “He can’t wait to have a family — he was just waiting for the right girl.”
Impact Analysis
While the announcement carries no industry implications, it underscores a broader shift in the star’s personal priorities. Chris Evans and wife Alba Baptista have largely avoided public attention, reflecting a growing trend among celebrities favoring privacy over publicity.
The couple’s balanced approach — maintaining low profiles while celebrating key milestones — could set a new tone for Hollywood’s next generation of A-list families.
What’s Next
For now, the couple plans to remain out of the spotlight as they focus on family life. Evans will next appear in the upcoming action-comedy “Red One” sequel, slated for release in mid-2026. Baptista continues her work on several European film projects, though she is expected to take a brief hiatus.
