Marvel fans, get ready to swoon! Chris Evans has officially traded in his Captain America shield for something even more precious—a baby! The beloved actor and his wife, Portuguese actress Alba Baptista, quietly welcomed their first child over the weekend, and honestly, we couldn’t be happier for them.
According to reports, the baby was born on Saturday, October 25, in Massachusetts. So far, the couple has kept everything pretty hush-hush. They haven’t revealed whether it’s a boy or girl, and the baby’s name is still under wraps. But honestly? That’s totally their style. Chris Evans and Alba have always been super private about their personal lives, which makes this news even more exciting.
Now, here’s where things get adorable. Fans actually started putting the pieces together months ago when Alba’s dad, Luiz Baptista, left a sweet comment on a Father’s Day post saying, “Many thanks dear Chris. Your turn is coming!” Looking back, that was basically the world’s cutest pregnancy announcement hint, right?
Meanwhile, Chris Evans has never been shy about wanting to become a daddy. In a 2024 interview with Access Hollywood, he shared, “I hope so. The title of dad is an exciting one.” Well, Chris, you finally got that title, and we’re betting you’re already amazing at it!
The couple, who got married in September 2023 in a private Cape Cod ceremony, has always kept their relationship low-key. They started dating in 2021 after meeting in Europe, and Chris even learned Portuguese to propose to Alba in her native language. Talk about romantic, right?
What makes this news even sweeter is that Chris and Alba are now settling into parenthood together in Massachusetts, close to Chris’s family. The 44-year-old actor and 28-year-old actress have been married for just over two years, and now they’re embarking on their biggest adventure yet—raising a baby together.
For now, representatives for the couple haven’t commented on the birth, but we’re sending all the love and congratulations to the new parents. Welcome to the world, baby Evans!
