Captain America Welcomes Little Co-Pilot! Chris Evans and Alba Baptista Are Parents
Looks like Captain America has a new mission: diaper duty! Marvel’s own Chris Evans and his wife, Portuguese actress Alba Baptista, have reportedly welcomed their first child together. The couple, who tied the knot last year, are now proud parents to a baby girl named Alma Grace Baptista Evans.
According to reports, their little bundle of joy made her debut on Friday in Evans’ home state of Massachusetts. While representatives for the happy couple have yet to officially comment, the news has delighted fans eager for an update on the usually private pair.
Evans, 44, and Baptista, 28, first sparked romance rumors around 2021 before confirming their union with two star-studded ceremonies in 2023. The actor famously dished on their “wonderful and beautiful” nuptials at New York Comic Con, sharing that planning a wedding was “a lot” but that they were “enjoying life” after the festivities. Marvel heavyweights like Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, and Scarlett Johansson were among those celebrating the East Coast ceremony.
The new dad has openly expressed his desire for fatherhood, telling “Access Hollywood” last year that he “absolutely” hoped to be a “superhero dad,” calling the title of “dad” an “exciting one.”
Since hanging up Captain America’s shield in 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame,” Evans has been busy with a variety of projects, including the buzz-worthy romance “Materialists” and the dark comedy “Honey Don’t.” Despite his move to more independent films, some Marvel fans still hold out hope for his return to the franchise, with “Avengers: Doomsday” hitting theaters this December.
Baptista, too, has been active in her career, adding several film credits since her cult-favorite series “Warrior Nun” was canceled in 2022. She is set to appear in A24’s upcoming film “Mother Mary,” which boasts original music by Charli XCX and Jack Antonoff, alongside stars like FKA Twigs and Hunter Schafer.
For now, it seems the couple is enjoying their new roles as parents to little Alma Grace. We wish them all the best on this exciting new adventure!
