Chris Evans, 44, ‘welcomes first child’ with wife Alba Baptista, 28, after two years of
Chris Evans and his wife Alba Baptista have reportedly welcomed their first child together after recently celebrating their second wedding anniversary.
At this time, it is unknown whether the lovebirds, who wed on September 9, 2023 during a ceremony at a private estate in Cape Cod, had a little girl or boy.
No other details, such as the baby’s weight or length, have been made available.
TMZ reported that Baptista, 28, gave birth in Massachusetts on Saturday.
The Daily Mail has reached out to Evans’ representatives, but have not heard back, at this time.
In July, the pair sparked rumors they were expecting after Evans’ father-in-law, Luiz Baptista, left a comment on social media hinting about his daughter’s pregnancy.

Under a fanmade Father’s Day tribute, honoring Alba and Evan’s dads, Luiz wrote: ‘Chris, your turn is coming!’
In November 2024, Evans confirmed to Access Hollywood that he would ‘absolutely’ love to become a dad.
‘Yeah, I hope so,’ he told the outlet. ‘The title of dad is an exciting one.’
The actor was first romantically linked to the Portuguese actress in 2021, but never publicly announced their engagement.
‘I proposed to my wife in Portuguese,’ he told The Knot in June. ‘She’s Portuguese, so I learned how to say, “Will you marry me?” in Portuguese. I had practiced it all week.’
He said he kept practicing what he would say to her in her native language and almost ruined the proposal.
‘I had practiced it so much that while I’d be making breakfast and you almost just start saying it out loud,’ he recalled.
‘Like, “Oh God, that’s not just a song that’s stuck in my head! It’s gonna let the cat out of the bag.”‘

Fortunately, he said he didn’t spoil the surprise before the special moment.
‘I got really nervous when it came time to do it,’ he said. ‘I actually think I screwed it up, but I still know it.’
The couple, who share a 16-year age gap, were first romantically linked in 2021 but only publicly debuted their relationship nearly two years later.
In early 2023, the actor made their romance Instagram official when he posted a reel of them playing around and trying to scare each other at home.
In October 2023, one month after getting married, Evans opened up about their wedding at New York Comic Con.
‘It was really, really great. We kinda had two ceremonies,’ he recalled before explaining how they got married in both of their hometowns.
In November 2024, Evans confirmed to Access Hollywood that he would ‘absolutely’ love to become a dad
‘We had one on the East Coast. We did one in Portugal.’
He said that both ceremonies were ‘wonderful and beautiful’ before he admitted wedding planning was ‘a lot.’
‘For those of you who are married, it takes a lot out of you,’ he confessed.
Now that we’re through that, we’ve just kinda been enjoying life, gearing up for autumn, my favorite season,’ he said at the time.
‘It’s, like, the best time of the year right now,’ he added.
‘Now we’re just relaxing and enjoying life and reflecting.’

Last year, the Captain America star told People they were torn between going down the ‘puppy route’ or adopting an ‘older dog’ when asked about expanding their family.
‘Anytime you see one of those stories about some eight or nine-year-old dog that gets adopted who’s had a rough life, it just kills you. And so, to some degree, that’s kind of what we’ve been thinking,’ he revealed.
And while whether to get a second dog or not is a hot topic of discussion for the couple, they haven’t acted on the urge, yet – despite Evans saying adopting Dodger eight years ago was the best decision of his life.
‘We both need a little bit of downtime for that,’ the actor said. ‘We’ve always said, “Well, maybe we’ll just go down to the shelter,” and I’m like, “Listen, do you really think we’re going to walk down there and not leave with at least one dog?”
‘There’s no way. So if we make the decision to actually walk in the door, we’re walking out with one.’

Evans adopted Dodger from a shelter while filming his 2017 movie Gifted and said the dog has made his life ‘exponentially better’
Evans adopted Dodger from a shelter while filming his 2017 movie Gifted and said the dog has made his life ‘exponentially better.’
‘He is an incredibly special dog, and I don’t think it’s possible to stay in a bad mood when he’s around,’ he gushed.
‘[Adopting him] was one of the most profound experiences I’ve ever had. It was incredibly kismet. I knew right away the second I saw him that he was coming home with me.
‘Moving forward, I’ll only rescue dogs,’ Evans added. ‘That’s the new approach from now on.’
Evans previously shared a video of ‘the moment I met Dodger’ for a National Rescue Dog Day post in 2021.
‘I was filming a movie in Savannah and the scene took place at a shelter,’ he recounted.
‘I had no intention of rescuing a dog that day, but the minute I saw him I knew he was coming home with me,’ Evans added.
