Who is Chris Evans’ wife, Alba Baptista?

Alba Baptista is a Lisbon-born performer best known for acclaimed work in both European projects and English-language series and films.

Chris Evans and Alba Baptista: relationship timeline

• 2022: The two begin dating, keeping appearances scarce while their relationship develops.

• September 2023: They marry in Cape Cod in an intimate ceremony; a second celebration with family follows overseas to honor Baptista’s roots.

• 2024: The couple makes a rare joint public appearance during awards season, then largely returns to private routines.

• October 2025: They become parents to daughter Alma Grace in Evans’ home state.

Baby details and what the name means

The couple’s daughter carries both parents’ surnames—a nod to Portuguese naming customs where children often use maternal and paternal family names. Choosing “Alma Grace” blends classic style with a meaning that evokes kindness and spirit, fitting the pair’s understated aesthetic.

How marriage changed Evans’ public rhythm

For years Evans spoke about wanting to build a family and dial back the churn of nonstop productions. Since marrying, he has curated fewer public moments, prioritizing stretches away from set and social media. Baptista’s similar preference for privacy has made it easier for both to separate work from home life, even as interest in their marriage remains high.

Will fatherhood pause major roles?

Don’t expect a disappearance, but do expect fewer, choosier projects—especially in the next few months. Evans has previously described quality-of-life balance as a primary goal. With a newborn at home, scheduling around location shoots, press travel, and franchises will likely be handled with extra care. Baptista’s slate tends to alternate between European and U.S. work, giving the family flexibility to base in either market as needed.
