- Chris Evans and his wife, Alba Baptista, have welcomed their first child.

- Details such as the baby’s name and gender have not yet been publicly revealed.
Captain America’s Newest Mission: Fatherhood
The Marvel universe has a new arrival, but this time it’s not a superhero. Chris Evans, 44, known globally as Captain America, has embraced his most important role yet: fatherhood. TMZ has confirmed that the actor and his wife, Portuguese actress Alba Baptista, 28, have welcomed their first child into the world.
A Quiet Arrival in Massachusetts
According to official records, the couple’s baby was born on Saturday in Massachusetts, the state Evans calls home. In keeping with their famously private relationship, the new parents have kept details under wraps, with no official announcement on the baby’s name or gender just yet. Reps for the couple have not been reached for comment.
This move aligns with the couple’s decision to build a life away from the Hollywood spotlight. Evans recently sold his Hollywood Hills mansion for a reported $7 million, with sources indicating his desire to move closer to his family on the East Coast—a family that has now officially grown by one.
From Rumors to Reality: How Fans Knew
The news may come as a surprise to some, but devoted fans have been speculating for months. The rumors gained significant traction over the summer, particularly after a Father’s Day social media post. When a fan account paid tribute to both Chris’s and Alba’s fathers, Alba’s dad, Luiz Baptista, left a telling comment.
The Comment That Sparked It All
In response to the post, Luiz wrote, “Many thanks dear Chris. Your turn is coming! 🥰” Fans immediately interpreted this as a hint that the couple was expecting, and it turns out their instincts were correct. What started as a sweet family interaction became the first public clue to the couple’s growing family.
Love at First Sight
Chris and Alba’s journey to parenthood has been a whirlwind romance. The pair reportedly met in Europe, and friends described it to People magazine as “love at first sight.” They went public with their relationship in early 2023 and tied the knot in a private, intimate ceremony on Cape Cod on September 9, 2023.
Now, just over a year after their wedding, they have begun a new chapter as parents. Congratulations to the happy couple on their new arrival!
