Hollywood’s beloved star Chris Evans and Portuguese actress Alba Baptista have officially embarked on a brand-new adventure — parenthood. The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Alma Grace Baptista Evans, on October 24 in Massachusetts. The news has filled fans’ hearts with warmth, as the famously private pair continue to balance their lives in the spotlight with quiet, personal joy.
Evans and Baptista, who tied the knot in an intimate Cape Cod ceremony in September 2023, managed to keep the pregnancy out of the public eye until now — a feat not many celebrity couples achieve these days. The baby’s name, “Alma,” meaning soul in Portuguese, is a tender nod to Alba’s roots, symbolizing love, connection, and the blending of two worlds. For the couple, it’s more than a name — it’s a celebration of family, heritage, and new beginnings.
The two first began dating in 2021, and their relationship quickly became one of quiet admiration and mutual respect. Known for his grounded approach to fame, Evans has often spoken about his dream of having children and prioritizing family over Hollywood’s relentless pace. Baptista, meanwhile, has continued to captivate audiences with her performances, most notably in Warrior Nun, all while maintaining a refreshing sense of authenticity and humility.
As news of Alma Grace’s arrival spread, fans and friends flooded social media with congratulations and heartfelt messages. The couple’s decision to keep the birth private resonated deeply with admirers, reinforcing their reputation as one of the industry’s most genuine and grounded pairs. Their story is a reminder that even in the glitter of Hollywood, some moments — like the birth of a child — are best savored quietly.
With Evans continuing his career and Baptista exploring new creative horizons, the couple now steps into this next phase of life hand-in-hand, cherishing the joys (and sleepless nights) of new parenthood. For Chris and Alba, Alma Grace isn’t just their first child — she’s their greatest adventure yet.
