The couple, who tied the knot in 2023 with ceremonies in both the U.S. and Portugal, are now proud parents to a baby girl, Alma.

While the famously private pair haven’t shared many details, sources confirmed to InStyle that the little one arrived earlier this year.

The pair first made their romance red-carpet official at the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscars Party, where they were all smiles.

The couple’s red carpet debut follows Chris’ announcement in October 2023 that they had tied the knot.

“I got married,” Chris told the audience at New York Comic Con. “It was really, really great.”

“We kind of had two ceremonies. We had one on the East Coast, we did one in Portugal—my wife’s Portuguese. Yeah, yeah! Go Portugal!”

Chris continued to explain that the pair’s wedding ceremonies were “wonderful and beautiful.”

“It’s a lot, planning a wedding. It’s a lot. Those of you who are married [know] it takes a lot out of you. But now that we’re through that, we’re just kind of been enjoying life, gearing up for autumn, my favourite season. It’s like, the best time of year right now. Now we’re just relaxing and enjoying life and reflecting.”

Chris’ previous comments came one month after Page Six began reporting that the Captain America star married Alba Baptista in an intimate wedding in Massachusetts. 

A source told the publication that the nuptials were “locked down tight” with guests required to sign NDAs and forfeit their phones. Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth and Jeremy Renner were reportedly in attendance.

Chris has kept his relationship largely out of the public eye, with news of his relationship with Alba only breaking in November 2022 after The Gray Man star was crowned Sexiest Man Alive by PEOPLE.

According to a source who spoke to the publication, the 42-year-old had been dating fellow actor Alba Baptista for over a year and that their relationship was “serious”.

“They are in love and Chris has never been happier. His family and friends all adore her,” the source divulged.

In 2023, the pair celebrated the premiere of Chris’ new film Ghosted, arriving at the New York City premiere together. Although it was clear the couple were keeping their relationship private, choosing not to walk the red carpet together.

Who is Chris Evans’ wife? 

Chris Evans’ wife is Alba Baptista, a 28-year-old Portuguese actor best known for her breakout role in Netflix’s Warrior Nun and the feel-good comedy-drama Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris.

The pair quietly tied the knot in 2023, with two ceremonies, one in Massachusetts and another in Portugal, where Alba was born. Since then, the couple have kept their relationship largely private, but in 2025, they reportedly welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Alma.

Eagle-eyed followers noticed Chris dropping a few Instagram likes on Alba’s posts back then (classic soft-launch energy).

Since tying the knot, he has opened up about how marriage has changed his priorities, admitting he’s slowed down his work schedule to focus on family life. “I haven’t worked all year, and I don’t plan to,” he shared, calling the shift “lovely.”

Known for being deeply sentimental, the actor has described himself as a “sap” who tears up over sunsets and good songs, proving that the Marvel star’s real-life superpower might just be his soft side.

Who else has Chris Evans dated in the past?

Chris dated Jessica Biel for five years from 2001 to 2006, during which time they starred in two films together. After splitting, Jessica began dating Justin Timberlake and they’re now happily married.

He was then romantically linked to Shameless star Emmy Rossum after they were pictured kissing in an LA bar. The pair never confirmed their relationship, and whether it was an innocent fling or something more, it didn’t last long.

He was also rumoured to be dating Laguna Beach allum Kristin Cavallari back in 2008, with sources telling Page Six that they “definitely hooked up”. But Kristin later cleared up the rumours, saying that they were “just friends”.

“I’ve known Chris for a while, just through mutual friends,” she explained.

Throughout the 2010s, numerous sources and multiple unconfirmed reports claimed Chris dated a whole string of famous Hollywood women, including Lily Collins, Sandra Bullock, Selena Gomez, Amy Smart, Diana Agron, Elizabeth Olsen, and Ashley Greene.

The only other woman he was ever confirmed to be dating (aside from Jessica and prior to his now-wife, Alba Baptista) was Jenny Slate, who dated him on and off between 2016 and 2018.
