Chris Evans Alba Baptista quietly welcome their first baby
After years of dating and a 2023 wedding, Chris Evans and Alba Baptista have joyfully welcomed their first child.
Chris Evans and Alba Baptista have officially entered a new chapter of their lives — parenthood. The Hollywood couple, who have always kept their relationship low-key, reportedly welcomed their first baby over the weekend in Massachusetts, USA.
According to entertainment portals that broke the news on Tuesday, the Captain America star and the Warrior Nun actress became parents on Saturday. The couple has not yet made any official announcement, in line with their famously private approach to their relationship. As of now, the baby’s name and gender have not been revealed, and representatives for both stars have declined to comment.
A quiet love story
Chris Evans, 44, and Alba Baptista, 27, have been one of Hollywood’s most discreet couples. They dated quietly for several years before tying the knot in 2023 in an intimate ceremony surrounded by close family and friends. The wedding reportedly took place at their Boston-area home, with only a few of Evans’ Avengers co-stars, including Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, and Jeremy Renner, attending the celebration.
Throughout their relationship, both Chris and Alba chose to stay out of the public eye. They rarely appeared together on red carpets, and Evans’ social media presence — once very public — became noticeably quieter after their relationship began. Fans first speculated about their romance in late 2021 after noticing subtle online interactions between the two. However, neither confirmed anything until after their marriage.
“The title of dad is an exciting one”
After their wedding, Chris Evans hinted that starting a family was on his mind. In an interview with Access Hollywood in November 2024, he smiled when asked if he hoped to become a father soon. “I hope so,” he said warmly. “The title of dad is an exciting one.”
Those words now feel prophetic as the couple embraces life with their newborn. Friends close to the actor say he had long expressed a desire to settle down and start a family after years of a hectic Hollywood schedule. Evans, best known for portraying the ever-heroic Steve Rogers in the Captain America and Avengers franchises, has spoken often about wanting “a quiet life surrounded by love and nature.”
Life away from the spotlight
Alba Baptista, a Portuguese actress who gained international fame for her role in Netflix’s Warrior Nun, has also kept her career and personal life balanced with remarkable grace. She is known for her multilingual talent — speaking Portuguese, English, Spanish, French, and German — and has appeared in acclaimed European films before breaking into Hollywood.
Since their marriage, both Chris and Alba have largely stayed away from major public events, choosing to focus on their life together in Massachusetts. Sources say the couple enjoys spending time outdoors, walking their dogs, and staying close to family. “They’ve created a really peaceful life together,” one insider told People magazine earlier this year. “They’re both very private and value time at home more than anything else.”
Fans react with joy
The news of their baby’s arrival has delighted fans across the world. Social media platforms quickly filled with congratulatory posts from admirers who have followed their journey since rumors of their relationship first surfaced. Many praised the couple’s decision to keep their private life truly private — something rare in today’s celebrity culture.
While the world eagerly waits for an official statement, one thing is clear: both Evans and Baptista seem to be embracing parenthood with the same quiet joy and groundedness that has defined their relationship.
Chris Evans, who once embodied one of the most iconic superheroes in film history, now takes on what he has described as his most meaningful role yet — that of a father. For Alba Baptista, this marks another beautiful milestone in her growing career and personal life.
As fans celebrate the arrival of their baby, the couple’s story serves as a reminder that even in Hollywood, love, privacy, and family can still shine brighter than fame.
