Chris Evans, known to millions for his role as Captain America, and Portuguese actress Alba Baptista are experiencing one of the happiest moments of their lives. On October 25 in Massachusetts, the couple welcomed their first child. The star parents have chosen to keep the baby’s gender and name private, in line with their commitment to protecting their personal lives from the public eye. Evans has previously expressed in interviews his desire to start a family, and now that dream has come true.
The baby arrived just over a year after their wedding. In September 2023, Chris and Alba exchanged vows in a private ceremony at their home outside Boston. Only their closest friends and family attended, including Evans’ Marvel co-stars like Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Hemsworth. Sources close to the couple say that both mother and newborn are doing well, and the family is enjoying this new chapter.
Who is Alba Baptista? The future actress was born in Lisbon on July 10, 1997, to a Portuguese mother and a Brazilian father. From a young age, she was immersed in a creative environment, practicing painting, dancing, and playing the piano. However, acting soon became her true calling. Alba’s career began at the age of 15 with her first auditions in Portugal, after which she starred in several successful local projects. She gained international recognition for her lead role as Ava Silva in the Netflix series ‘Warrior Nun.’ In 2021, her talent was recognized with the prestigious ‘Shooting Star’ award at the Berlin Film Festival, given to Europe’s most promising young actors.
The love story of Chris and Alba has always been shrouded in mystery. The first rumors about their romance surfaced at the end of 2022, although by then they had already been together for more than a year. The couple deliberately chose a quiet and peaceful life in Massachusetts, far from the Hollywood buzz. Their relationship quickly became serious, leading to a secret wedding. They first appeared in public as husband and wife at an after-party following the 2024 Oscars, where they happily posed for photographers. Even during these rare joint appearances, the special warmth and genuineness that unites the actors is evident.
