Chris Evans and Alba Baptista gave birth to their first child on October 27, 2025.
The “Captain America” star and the “Nun Warrior” alum have historically been private about their relationship.
Now that the couple has a new addition to their family, let’s take a look back at how they went from secret lovers to parents.
love rumors
Evans first became romantically involved with Baptista, who is 16 years his junior, in November 2022, at which point they had been together for “over a year,” a source claimed.
“They are in love and Chris has never been happier,” a source told People magazine at the time. “His family and friends all love her.”
Reports of Evans’ secret romance came just days after he was named People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive, and in a companion interview, Evans explained how he has become a better romantic partner with age.
“I spend a lot of time learning what worked and what didn’t work,” he told the outlet.
“We all have patterns, hangups, or issues that reverberate over and over again, so we were able to identify where we needed to improve and what was working.”

Just hours after news of their romance surfaced, the duo was spotted holding hands in New York City.
In photos obtained exclusively by Page Six, the Marvel star and Portuguese actress tried to keep a low profile while strolling through Central Park on November 10, 2022.
The incognito couple, wearing matching sunglasses and face masks, held on tight to each other as they walked through a crowded street.
When they noticed the paparazzi, they immediately lowered their heads and let go of each other’s hands as they made their way out of the park.
Instagram official?
Eagle-eyed fans noticed that Evans left a flirtatious comment on Baptista’s Instagram post just the day before news broke that their relationship had broken up.
The actress uploaded stills from her new movie, which has just been released in Portugal.
“‘Paris Dreams’ premieres in Portugal today!” she wrote. “It’s a movie full of love, so please watch it ❤️”
Evans responded to Baptista’s comment section by leaving a clapping hands emoji and a melting face emoji. His message received more than 2,400 likes.
valentine’s day tribute
The “Materialist” star expressed his love for Baptista on his Instagram Story on Valentine’s Day 2023, confirming that she is his girlfriend and sharing a photo packed with PDA.
Some of their romantic adventures were captured in a series of snaps, including enjoying a waterfall hike, going apple picking together and skiing.
Evans also shared photos of Baptista cuddling up with the pup, admiring the Northern Lights, enjoying ocean views and kissing in the car.
wedding bell
Evans and Baptista tied the knot in September 2023 in an intimate ceremony at their home in the Boston, Massachusetts area, Page Six has learned exclusively.
Sources told Us that the wedding was “in strict lockdown” as guests signed NDAs and their phones were confiscated.
The source added that the couple invited close family and friends to witness the “beautiful” ceremony.
The wedding was also attended by Evans’ A-list friends and Marvel co-stars, including Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth and Jeremy Renner.
Say “I Do” twice
The couple held a second wedding in Portugal for Baptista’s family later that month.
“A second vigil will be held in Portugal for Alba’s family who couldn’t make it to Massachusetts,” a source exclusively told Page Six after Us broke the news of their first marriage.
“Sometime this week, I think. Then they’ll leave Portugal for their honeymoon.”
flaunt the ring
The Captain America: Civil War star showed off his wedding ring at New York Comic Con in October 2023, one month after marrying Baptista in Boston.
In photos obtained exclusively by Page Six, Evans also sported a gold band as he spoke with Tumblr on stage and revealed wedding details during a panel discussion.
“I’m married,” he confessed, and the crowd cheered. “It was really, really great.”
“It was like there were two ceremonies,” he said. “We’ve had weddings on the East Coast, we’ve had weddings in Portugal, and my wife is Portuguese. But they were just so amazing and beautiful. It’s so hard to plan a wedding. For people who are married, you know, weddings take a lot of effort.”
He also revealed that he and his wife are “just relaxing and reflecting” after wedding season is over.
Baptista also showed off his diamond sparkler at the GQ Portugal Man of the Year event the following month.
On the carpet, she wore a chic black Miu Miu dress and showed off what appeared to be an unconventional engagement ring that featured a large pearl surrounded by a cluster of floral diamonds on a thick diamond-trimmed band.
He then made his first public appearance at Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost’s star-studded Christmas party in December 2023. In an exclusive photo obtained by Page Six, the two are seen holding hands.
red carpet debut
The couple made their red carpet debut at the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, six months after their secret wedding.
In a rare move, Evans and Baptista showed off some PDA for the cameras, arms around each other with beloved smiles on their faces.
The ‘Knives Out’ star wore a red double-breasted suit by Dolce & Gabbana, while the ‘Borderline’ star wore a glamorous black and white strapless dress.
A few days earlier, the pair were spotted holding hands on a rare date night at the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood, California, after a pre-Oscar party hosted by talent agency CAA.
Proposal details
The “Nanny Diaries” star opened up about his romantic proposal to Baptista, sharing the special gesture in June 2025.
“I proposed to my wife in Portuguese,” he told The Knot. “She’s Portuguese, so I learned how to say, ‘Will you marry me?'” in Portuguese. I’ve been practicing it all week. ”
Evans explained that the phrase had been stuck in her head for days before the proposal, so much so that she almost forgot it when she was making breakfast.
“‘Oh my god, this song isn’t just the one that’s stuck in my head! It’s like the cat is out of the bag,'” he quipped.
“When it came time to do it, I was so nervous. In fact, I think I failed, and I still remember that.”
baby love
According to TMZ, the couple gave birth to their first child on October 27, 2025.
Evans and Baptista had a baby girl, born in Massachusetts, who they named Alma Grace.
In June 2025, fans speculated that the two were starting a family after the actress’ father, Luis Baptista, responded to a fan account wishing him and Evans’ father, G. Roberts Evans III, a happy Father’s Day.
Lewis commented, “Thank you so much Chris. Your turn has come! 🥰.”
