Captain America has taken on his most exciting role yet: fatherhood. Chris Evans and his wife, Alba Baptista, quietly welcomed their first child over the weekend, TMZ reported on Tuesday. The newborn arrived on Saturday, October 25, in Massachusetts, though details on the baby’s name or gender have not been shared.
The news follows months of speculation, fueled by a hint from Baptista’s father, Luiz, on a fan page’s Father’s Day post earlier this year, writing,
“Many thanks dear Chris. Your turn is coming!”
Evans, 44, and the Portuguese actress, 28, tied the knot in a private ceremony in September 2023, following over a year of dating. Despite their 16-year age gap, the couple has maintained a strong and private relationship, making the announcement of their first child a delightful surprise for fans.
The Marvel star had previously expressed excitement about becoming a dad, telling Access Hollywood in 2024,
“I hope so. The title of dad is an exciting one.”
The couple made their red-carpet debut in March last year at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Los Angeles, showing off their relationship to the public for the first time. Now, with their first child, Chris Evans and Alba Baptista begin a new chapter together, blending celebrity life with parenthood.
