Hollywood’s beloved star Chris Evans and Portuguese actor Alba Baptista have quietly stepped into a brand-new chapter of their lives — parenthood. The famously private couple recently welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Alma Grace Baptista Evans, marking one of the sweetest surprises in the entertainment world this year.
A Quiet Welcome for Baby Alma Grace
According to a report by TMZ, the Captain America actor and his wife, known for her breakout role in Warrior Nun, welcomed their daughter over the weekend in Massachusetts, USA. The baby, born on Friday, October 24, 2025, at 1:27 p.m., is said to be healthy and resting at home with her mother. The birth certificate, obtained by TMZ, officially confirmed the baby’s name and birth details — and in true Evans-Baptista fashion, no public announcement preceded it.
Sources close to the couple later confirmed the news to People, adding that Evans, 44, is “completely smitten” with his newborn daughter, while Baptista, 28, is “glowing and thriving” as a first-time mother. Their daughter’s full name, Alma Grace Baptista Evans, reflects both sides of their family lineage — “Alma” meaning soul or nurturing in Latin, and “Grace” symbolizing elegance and divine favor.
A Love Story That Bloomed Away from the Spotlight
Chris Evans and Alba Baptista have long been known for their preference for privacy over publicity. Their romance blossomed quietly and matured far from Hollywood’s glare. After dating for several years, the pair tied the knot in September 2023, in an intimate wedding ceremony at Evans’ Cape Cod home in Massachusetts.
The wedding was a low-key yet star-studded celebration. The guest list featured several of Evans’ Marvel co-stars, including Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, and Chris Hemsworth, among others. While the event remained largely under wraps, it reflected the couple’s desire for intimacy and genuine connection over spectacle.
Interestingly, the couple made their relationship Instagram official only nine months before their wedding. Until then, Evans and Baptista had kept their romance entirely private, occasionally spotted together but never confirming their relationship publicly.

Hints and Speculation: How Fans Guessed the Baby News
The news of the couple’s baby didn’t entirely come out of the blue for fans. Back in June 2025, rumors of Alba’s pregnancy started circulating online after a fan account dedicated to the couple posted a Father’s Day tribute for both Chris and Alba’s father. The post drew attention when Alba’s father, Luiz Baptista, left a telling comment that read, “Many thanks dear Chris. Your turn is coming!”
That cryptic message instantly set the internet abuzz, with many fans speculating that the couple was expecting their first child. However, Evans and Baptista neither confirmed nor denied the rumors, staying true to their reputation for privacy.
Chris Evans on Fatherhood: “The Title of Dad Is an Exciting One”
Evans has spoken about his desire to have children in the past. In a November 2024 interview with Access Hollywood, the actor expressed his excitement about the idea of becoming a father. “I hope so,” he said when asked about starting a family, adding that “the title of dad is an exciting one.”
Now that dream has come true. Insiders close to the actor reveal that Evans has been “fully embracing fatherhood,” even rearranging his schedule to spend as much time as possible with his newborn daughter and wife. He has reportedly been hands-on with baby duties, diving headfirst into the joys and challenges of early parenthood.

The Couple’s Private Life in Massachusetts
Both Evans and Baptista have chosen to make their home in Massachusetts, where Evans grew up. The couple reportedly loves the quiet, family-friendly environment of the area, far removed from the paparazzi-heavy streets of Los Angeles.
Their daughter’s birth in Massachusetts further reflects the couple’s commitment to privacy and their desire to build a grounded, peaceful life away from Hollywood’s glare. According to TMZ’s report, representatives for both actors could not be reached for comment, and neither has made an official statement about the birth as of yet.
A Look at Chris Evans’ Career and Recent Work
Despite keeping his personal life out of the spotlight, Chris Evans’ professional journey has remained as vibrant as ever. Best known for his role as Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, in Marvel’s blockbuster franchise, Evans has since diversified his career with a variety of roles across genres.
In 2025, Evans starred in several projects, including “Honey Don’t!”, “Materialists”, and most recently, “Sacrifice.” Honey Don’t!, a crime-comedy directed by Ethan Coen, saw him sharing screen space with Margaret Qualley and Aubrey Plaza. The film was produced by Ethan Coen, Tricia Cooke, Eric Fellner, Tim Bevan, and Robert Graf — a powerhouse production team known for their quirky yet clever storytelling.
Evans has also been rumored to return in Marvel’s upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday”, although no official confirmation has been made yet. As of now, the actor has not announced any new projects, sparking speculation that he’s taking time off to focus on his family life — especially with baby Alma’s recent arrival.
Alba Baptista’s Rising Career in Hollywood
While Chris Evans has long been a global star, Alba Baptista has been carving her own path in international cinema. The Portuguese actress gained fame for her lead role in the Netflix fantasy series Warrior Nun and has since earned critical acclaim for her performances in both English-language and European productions.
In 2025, she starred in “Borderline”, directed by Jimmy Warden, alongside Samara Weaving, Eric Dane, and Ray Nicholson. The movie showcased her acting depth and versatility, earning her further recognition in Hollywood.
Baptista also has several promising projects lined up, including “Mother Mary” and “Bodyhackers.” Her multilingual skills — she speaks English, Spanish, French, German, and Portuguese — have opened doors across global film industries. Her earlier works include “Fatima,” “Patrick,” “L’Enfant,” and the charming period film “Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris.”
A Couple Who Value Privacy Over Publicity
Evans and Baptista’s relationship has always stood out for its quiet grace. Unlike many celebrity couples who share their milestones on social media, they’ve preferred to keep theirs private.
The couple did not publicly confirm Alba’s pregnancy, nor have they posted any updates about their new arrival. Still, fans flooded Baptista’s recent Instagram post promoting Borderline with congratulatory messages as news of the birth broke. Meanwhile, Evans’ verified social media accounts remain completely silent — consistent with his recent digital retreat and focus on offline life.
The Meaning Behind Their Daughter’s Name: Alma Grace Baptista Evans
The name Alma Grace is as thoughtful as it is beautiful. “Alma,” rooted in Latin, means soul or nurturing, while “Grace” signifies elegance, kindness, and divine favor. The combination reflects the couple’s warmth and their belief in humility and compassion — qualities both actors have often spoken about in interviews.
By giving their daughter both last names — Baptista Evans — the couple is honoring both their families, blending their Portuguese and American heritage into one identity.
Looking Ahead: A New Chapter for the Evans-Baptista Family
With the arrival of baby Alma Grace, Chris Evans and Alba Baptista have officially begun their next adventure — one far more personal and rewarding than any film project. Both are reportedly taking time away from the spotlight to enjoy the early months of parenthood and adjust to life as a family of three.
While they may not share every detail publicly, fans around the world have expressed immense joy and support for the couple, celebrating the birth of their daughter as a wholesome, heartwarming moment in Hollywood’s often chaotic landscape.
