Chris Evans and his wife Alba Baptista have welcomed their first child together.
Per PEOPLE, the Marvel alum, 44, and his Portuguese actress wife, 28, on Friday welcomed their first child together in Evans’ home state of Massachusetts.
The couple named their newborn daughter Alma Grace Baptista Evans.
Evans and Baptista, who began to be romantically involved around 2021, wed in 2023 in a pair of ceremonies in Cape Cod and Portugal.
Despite keeping their engagement under wraps, Evans did talk about popping the question after their nuptials.
“I proposed to my wife in Portuguese,” he told the Knot in a June interview. “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,” Evans added. “I actually think I screwed it up, but I still know it.”
The couple’s East Coast nuptials were attended by Evans’ fellow Marvel legends Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye) and Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow).
During a panel that year at New York Comic Con, Evans called the festivities “wonderful and beautiful,” but said that he and his belle were happy to be winding down after the whole ordeal.
“Planning a wedding, it’s a lot,” he explained. “For those of you who are married, you know, it takes a lot out of you, but now that we’re through that, we’ve just kinda been enjoying life and gearing up for autumn, my favorite season. It’s like the best time of year right now. ... Now we’re just relaxing and enjoying life and reflecting.”
Evans last year shared his aspirations toward fatherhood to “Access Hollywood,” saying he “absolutely” hoped to be a “superhero dad” like his “Red One” co-star Dwayne Johnson.
“The title of ‘dad’ is an exciting one,” the actor noted.
