Chris Evans and Alba Baptista are parents! The couple, who've invested in leading private lives, welcomed their baby earlier this month.
The news was shared by TMZ, with the outlet revealing that the child was born this past Saturday in Massachusetts, where the couple is based.
Speculation about Evans and Baptista's family began some time ago, when Baptista's father, Luiz, shared a sweet comment on social media.
Luiz responded to a fan account wishing a happy Father's day to himself and Chris' dad, Robert Evans. “Many thanks dear Chris. Your turn is coming!" read the message.
In the past, Evans has opened up about his desire to be a father. “I hope so,” he said in a November 2024 interview. “The title of dad is an exciting one.”
More details about Evans and Baptista's relationship
Chris Evans and Alba Baptista got married in 2023, with the two hosting weddings in the US and Portugal, where Baptista is from. The couple kept details of their wedding under wraps, with Evans revealing that his beloved dog Dodger wasn't a part of the celebration.
“He’s too excited, too much of a social butterfly,” said Evans to E! News. “He never would’ve stayed on task. He would have wanted to say hello to every single person. He probably would’ve stolen the show.”
It's unknown when the couple first started dating, but they confirmed their romance on social media in 2022, with Evans sharing various photos and videos on social media.
In an interview with The Knot, Evans shared some details of his proposal, revealing that it didn't go according to plan. “I proposed to my wife in Portuguese,” he said. “She’s Portuguese, so I learned how to say ‘Will you marry me?’ in Portuguese. I had practiced it all week."
“I got really nervous when it came time to do it,” he continued. “I actually think I screwed it up, but I still know it.”
