Their life from a quiet romance to marriage and currently embracing parenthood — marks a fresh and heartfelt milestone for the Captain America icon and his wife, actress Alba Baptista.
From Romance to Family
Back in November 2022, a source stated to PEOPLE that the two had been dating “for over a year.” At the same time, the Marvel favorite, who had just been called PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive showed his long-term ambition of building a home and family.
“That’s absolutely something I want: wife, kids, building a family,” Evans stated with PEOPLE in that interview.
After a year, the couple made that dream come true, by getting married in September 2023 at a private estate in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
Who Is Chris Evans’ Wife, Alba Baptista?
Born in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1997, Alba Baptista grew up in a close-knit family. Her father is an engineer, and her mother is a translator. Gifted in languages, she knows Portuguese, English, Spanish, French, and German.
Her acting profession started in Portuguese television and movies, where she appeared in titles like A Impostora, Daughter of the Law, The Creationand Double Play. She got to international fame with her breakout character in Netflix’s Warrior Nunmarking her English-language launch.
Baptista later presented in Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris (2022) and the 2025 thriller-comedy Borderline, emphasizing her pride as one of Europe’s brightest young icons.
A Shared Passion for Giving Back
Like Evans, who has long been indulged in nonprofit and charitable causes, Baptista is popular for her humanitarian spirit. In 2018, she volunteered at an orphanage in Cambodia, where she concentrated on education for underprivileged children.
Their mutual commitment to kindness and service became a major part of their connection.
Following their September 2023 wedding, a source close to the pair cited to the PEOPLE that “it was kind of love at first sight” for Evans.
“They got serious very quickly,” the insider told, stating that the two met while Evans was in Europe. “He kept saying he knew she was the one.”
The source also mentioned that Evans had “been ready to settle down for a while” and Baptista was “the right girl.”
“She is beautiful, smart and just a good person,” the source cited. “She is involved in charity work and truly cares about doing good. She is a very positive and happy person. It’s rubbed off on him.”
How Their Love Story Began
Although the timeline of their relationship remains private, PEOPLE confirmed in late 2022 that Evans and Baptista had been together “for over a year.” Fans initially rumored about their bond back in January 2022, when Evans started following her on social media though keen observers found he actually followed her as early as fall 2020, with her following him back the next year while both were shooting in Europe.
By January 6, 2023, Evans made their connection Instagram official by uploading a lighthearted video of the two playfully scaring each other, with the caption “A look back at 2022,” followed by three heart emojis.
That Valentine’s Day, he shared a sweet image collage of their adventures, hiking, traveling, and spending time with his dog, Dodger.
The Wedding
The couple tied the knot on September 9, 2023, in an intimate ceremony at their Cape Cod estate, surrounded by intimate friends and family. Many of Evans’ Marvel co-stars attended, including Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey, Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky, Jeremy Renner, and John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, all captured celebrating in nearby Boston.
Their red-carpet launch occurred months later at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty in March 2024, where the two looked effortlessly elegant, Evans in a red suit and Baptista in a white gown.
Two years after being public with their connection, Evans and Baptista are currently embracing life as parents. Their first child was born in Massachusetts on October 24, 2025.
