Chris Evans is stepping into a new and exciting chapter of his life — fatherhood. The renowned star of “Captain America,” aged 44, recently welcomed his first child with his wife, Alba Baptista. Reports from TMZ confirm that their baby was born over the weekend in Massachusetts, specifically on Saturday. However, details regarding the infant's name and sex have yet to be revealed. Representatives for both Evans and Baptista have not responded to requests for comments from Page Six.
In June, fans began to speculate that Chris Evans and Alba Baptista were planning to start a family. This speculation was fueled when Baptista’s father, Luiz Baptista, responded to a Father's Day message from a fan account. He commented, “Many thanks dear Chris. Your turn is coming! 🥰,” hinting at the couple's potential plans for children.
In a previous interview with Access Hollywood in November 2024, Chris Evans expressed his desire to become a father. He said, “I absolutely want to have children. I hope so.” He described the title of dad as an “exciting one,” showcasing his enthusiasm for parenthood.
Chris Evans and Alba Baptista, aged 28, tied the knot the previous year, celebrating their love with two beautiful wedding ceremonies in Portugal and Massachusetts. Interestingly, Evans’ beloved dog, Dodger, whom he adopted in 2017, was not part of the wedding festivities. The actor humorously shared with E! News that Dodger’s exuberance would have made it difficult for him to stay focused during the event, stating, “He’s too excited, too much of a social butterfly.”
Although the timeline of Evans and Baptista's relationship is not entirely clear, they publicly announced their romance in 2022. They kept their engagement largely private, but Evans did reveal details about his proposal. In an interview with The Knot in June, he mentioned that he proposed to Baptista in Portuguese, saying, “She’s Portuguese, so I learned how to say ‘Will you marry me?’ in Portuguese. I had practiced it all week.” He admitted to feeling nervous during the proposal, jokingly adding, “I actually think I screwed it up, but I still know it.”
As Chris Evans embarks on the journey of fatherhood, fans and followers are excited to witness this new phase in his life, celebrating both his role as a superhero on screen and now as a dad off screen.
