Alba Baptista gave birth to a baby girl on Friday. Alma Grace Baptista Evans arrived at 1:27 PM in Massachusetts. Neither Alba nor Alba Baptista Chris Evans confirmed the pregnancy publicly. They just kept quiet about it until records showed up saying she’d given birth.
Pretty standard for them, actually. The couple have been keeping their relationship private since they started dating back in 2021.
Alba Baptista Age and Background
Alba Baptista age is 28. Born July 10, 1997, in Lisbon, Portugal. Her mum’s Portuguese, and her dad’s Brazilian. Her parents met when her mother was working as a translator in Brazil.
Alba was raised in Lisbon and went to a German school; that’s why she speaks five languages. Portuguese, English, Spanish, French, and German. All fluent. That’s properly impressive when you think about it.
She started acting at 16 in a Portuguese short film called Miami. Won Best Actress at the Festival Ibérico de Ciné for it. Then spent years working on Portuguese telenovelas, such as Jardins Proibidos, A Impostora, and Jogo Duplo. Built a solid career in Portugal before anyone outside knew who she was.

Warrior Nun Made Her Famous
Alba’s first big break on the international stage came in 2020, with Netflix’s Warrior Nun. The actress played Ava Silva, a 19-year-old orphan who wakes up in a mortuary to discover that she has supernatural powers. Turns out she’s part of an ancient order fighting demons.
The show ran for two seasons, 18 episodes in total. It was cancelled in 2022, much to the chagrin of fans. But it got the job done for Alba. Put her on the global map, as it showed that she could carry an English-language series.
Alba Baptista movies and TV shows expanded after that. In 2022, she starred as Natasha, a Dior model, in Mrs Harris Goes to Paris. Then, Fatima in 2020 and Amelia’s Children in 2023. Most recently, she appears in Borderline, an American comedy thriller released this year.

Meeting Chris Evans Changed Everything
Alba Baptista husband, Chris Evans, met her somewhere in Europe. Precise particulars are fuzzy, since they’ve kept everything private. Reported to have begun dating in 2021, but were not spotted together until they stepped out for a walk in New York that November.
Chris made things Instagram official with her in January 2023. Shared a video montage of them hiking, carving pumpkins and playing with his dog Dodger. On Valentine’s Day 2023, he posted more photos of them together.
Alba Baptista wedding was on September 9, 2023, at a private estate in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Intimate gathering, friends and family only. They also threw a party in Portugal later for Alba’s extended family there.
Chris is 44 now. Alba’s 28. That’s a 16-year difference, which people do bring up occasionally, but they look happy together. Chris said so many times that he wanted to find someone, settle down and have kids. Alba was apparently the one.
Alba Baptista Height and Other Details
Alba Baptista height sits around 5’3″ or 1.59 metres, depending on which source you believe. Some say 5’2.75″, others claim 5’6″. She’s petite regardless. Chris is 6’0″, so there’s quite the height difference when they’re photographed together.
She’s got dark brown hair, black eyes, and a slim build. She keeps herself fit through gym sessions and morning yoga, apparently. Has a tattoo on her back, though photos of it are rare.
Alba Baptista’s Children have Just Arrived.
Alba Baptista children now include one daughter. Alma Grace Baptista Evans. Born October 24, 2025, at 1:27 PM. Taking both parents’ surnames, which is lovely.
Alba’s dad, Luiz, basically leaked the pregnancy back in June. A fan account posted Father’s Day wishes to both Chris and Alba’s dads. Luiz commented, “Many thanks, dear Chris. Your turn is coming!” with an emoji. Fans went mental trying to figure out if that meant pregnancy or just general well-wishes.
Turns out he meant pregnancy. Alba managed to stay completely out of sight for months. No public appearances, no social media posts showing her bump, nothing. That’s properly impressive, given Chris is Captain America and paparazzi usually follow him everywhere.
Chris hinted they were “laying low” when he spoke to E! News in June. Said they were enjoying their time and relaxing. Makes sense now. They were preparing for the baby.
An insider told People they’re “enjoying their privacy and these special first few days as a family with their baby.” Good for them, honestly.
Alba Baptista Net Worth and Career Earnings
Alba Baptista net worth estimates range from $1 million to $2.5 million, depending on which source you trust. She’s been working steadily since 16, so over a decade in the industry.
Early Portuguese work probably didn’t pay massive amounts. Warrior Nun would’ve been her biggest payday so far. Netflix doesn’t disclose what they pay actors, but lead roles in original series earn decent money.
Mrs Harris Goes to Paris, her Hollywood film debut, added to her earnings. She’s reportedly interested in becoming a film producer, too, though nothing’s been confirmed officially.
Chris Evans’ net worth sits around $110 million for comparison. So money’s not an issue for their family. Alba’s established her own career independent of Chris, though, which matters.
Alba Baptista’s Instagram Doesn’t Exist Properly
Alba Baptista’s Instagram under her own name isn’t really active. She’s on the platform but keeps things locked down. Posts occasionally, but nothing like most actresses her age who document everything.
Chris has Instagram and posts about herself sometimes. That Valentine’s Day montage. Their wedding announcement. But Alba herself stays quiet. No sponsored posts, no brand deals being advertised, no daily life updates.
Given that they just had a baby and nobody knew she was pregnant until the records showed the birth, her privacy strategy clearly works.
What Changed After Marriage
Chris has talked about how marriage changed him. Told reporters in June 2024 that married life is “incredible” and “wonderful”. He said he doesn’t need an action-packed schedule to feel fulfilled anymore.
He’s always wanted kids. Told People back in 2022 when they named him Sexiest Man Alive that starting a family was his priority. “Wife, kids, building a family. When you read about most of the best artists, most of them admit it wasn’t the work they made that they’re most proud of; it was the relationships, the families they created.”
Alba clearly shares those values. She’s taken roles, but nothing overwhelming. Borderline was her main 2025 project. She’s been focusing on family life in Massachusetts with Chris.

They’ve got his dog Dodger, too. Chris has said watching Alba fall for Dodger helped him realise she was the one. “Loving dogs is a huge part of it. She’s as big an animal lover as I am.”
The Name Alma Grace
Alma means “soul” in Portuguese and Spanish. Nice nod to Alba’s cultural roots. Grace is a classic English name. Baptista Evans combines both their surnames.
Chris’s dad, Bob, and Alba’s dad, Luiz, are both grandfathers now. Bob’s been through this before with Chris’s siblings, but Luiz’s comment back in June showed how excited he was about becoming a grandfather.
The baby arrived in Massachusetts, where Chris is from. He’s Boston through and through, grew up in Massachusetts, and still lives there. Makes sense, they’d want Alma born in his home state.

What’s Next for Them
Alba is 28 with a newborn. Chris is 44 and has said being a dad is “an exciting” title. He mentioned wanting to follow in Dwayne Johnson’s footsteps as a girl dad during the Red One press.
Alba’s career will probably slow down while she focuses on being a mum. That’s her choice, though. She could keep working if she wants. Chris can definitely afford childcare.
For now, they’re in that newborn bubble. Sleepless nights, nappy changes, and figuring out how to keep a tiny human alive. Same as every new parent, except they’re doing it whilst being ridiculously famous.
Alba Baptista went from Portuguese telenovelas to Netflix star to Mrs Chris Evans to mum. All by 28. Not bad going, really.
And she managed to keep the pregnancy secret for months despite being married to one of the most photographed actors in Hollywood. That takes skill.
