THE RUNDOWN

• Chris Evans and Alba Baptista welcomed their daughter on Friday.
• A source detailed how the new parents are adjusting to life with their baby girl.
• The insider also revealed her unique name.

Chris Evans and his wife, Alba Baptista, are settling into their new life as parents. Hours after reports broke of the couple secretly welcoming their first child on Friday in Massachusetts, People confirmed they had a baby girl they named Alma Grace Baptista Evans.

“Alma” means “soul” in Portuguese (and Spanish), a sweet nod to the 28-year-old Portuguese actress’s roots. Baptista’s first language is Portuguese, and she also speaks Spanish, French, German, and English.

A source detailed how she and Evans are doing, saying the couple is “enjoying their privacy and these special first few days as a family with their baby.”

In 2022, Evans spoke about his hope to someday be a father. “That’s absolutely something I want: wife, kids, building a family,” he told People. “When you read about most of the best artists, whether it’s actors, painters, writers, most of them [admit] it wasn’t the work they made [that they are most proud of], it was about the relationships; the families they created, the love they found, the love they shared.

“So it’s also something through my long 41 years that also rings true. Those things are the most important. I love the idea of tradition and ceremony. I had a lot of that in my life, so the idea of creating that—I can’t think of anything better.”

People revealed that Baptista and Evans were dating in November 2022. They got married in September 2023.
