When it comes to keeping family news private, Chris Evans and Alba Baptista pulled off the ultimate surprise. TMZ has confirmed that the 'Captain America' star and his Portuguese actress wife quietly welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Alma Grace Baptista Evans, on October 24 in Massachusetts.
The couple, who married in a private Cape Cod ceremony in 2023, managed to keep the pregnancy almost completely out of the spotlight. Speculation did surface over the summer when Alba’s father left a playful comment online suggesting that it was Chris’ “turn” to become a parent, but the couple kept quiet.
Evans, 44, and Baptista, 28, have yet to comment publicly on their daughter’s arrival, marking another rare success in Hollywood’s ongoing quest for privacy when it comes to family life.
