Actor Chris Evans and his wife, actress Alba Baptista, have welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Alma Grace, born on October 24, 2023. According to a source who spoke with People Magazine, Evans is embracing his new role as a father and is described as being “completely in awe” of his daughter.
The insider shared that Evans is cherishing every moment with his newborn, stating, “He’s been soaking in every quiet moment and couldn’t be more proud to be a girl dad.” The couple is reportedly enjoying their time together as a family during these initial days of parenthood, valuing their privacy as they adjust to this new chapter in their lives.
Evans’ Aspirations for Fatherhood
In a previous interview with People in 2022, Evans expressed his desire to become a father. He remarked, “That’s absolutely something I want: wife, kids, building a family.” The actor reflected on the importance of relationships in life, suggesting that for many artists, the legacies they cherish most are those of their families rather than their professional achievements.
Evans continued, “Those things are the most important. I love the idea of tradition and ceremony. I had a lot of that in my life, so the idea of creating that—I can’t think of anything better.” His sentiments highlight his commitment to building a family and nurturing meaningful connections.
Evans and Baptista, who began dating in late 2021, were first reported as a couple by People in November 2022. At that time, a source indicated that their relationship was serious, stating, “They are in love, and Chris has never been happier. His family and friends all adore her.” The couple tied the knot in a private ceremony in September 2023, further solidifying their partnership before welcoming their daughter.
As they embark on this journey of parenthood, Evans and Baptista appear to be relishing their new roles while keeping their family life intimate and private. The arrival of Alma Grace marks a significant milestone for the couple as they navigate the joys and challenges of being first-time parents.
