Chris Evans and his wife, Alba Baptista, are reportedly celebrating the arrival of their first child together. This happy news comes shortly after marking their second wedding anniversary.
The couple, who tied the knot on September 9, 2023, at a private estate in Cape Cod, has not yet revealed whether they have welcomed a son or a daughter.
Details such as the newborn’s weight and length have not been disclosed at this time.
According to TMZ, Baptista, 28, gave birth in Massachusetts on Saturday.
Efforts to reach Evans’ representatives for further comment have so far been unsuccessful.
In July, the pair sparked rumors they were expecting after Evans’ father-in-law, Luiz Baptista, left a comment on social media hinting about his daughter’s pregnancy.

Under a fanmade Father’s Day tribute, honoring Alba and Evan’s dads, Luiz wrote: ‘Chris, your turn is coming!’
In November 2024, Evans confirmed to Access Hollywood that he would ‘absolutely’ love to become a dad.
‘Yeah, I hope so,’ he told the outlet. ‘The title of dad is an exciting one.’
Last year, the Captain America star told People they are torn between going down the ‘puppy route’ or adopting an ‘older dog’ when talking about expanding their family.
‘Anytime you see one of those stories about some eight or nine-year-old dog that gets adopted who’s had a rough life, it just kills you. And so, to some degree, that’s kind of what we’ve been thinking,’ he revealed.
And while whether to get a second dog or not is a hot topic of discussion for the couple, they haven’t acted on the urge, yet – despite Evans saying adopting Dodger eight years ago was the best decision of his life.
‘We both need a little bit of downtime for that,’ the actor said. ‘We’ve always said, “Well, maybe we’ll just go down to the shelter,” and I’m like, “Listen, do you really think we’re going to walk down there and not leave with at least one dog?”
‘There’s no way. So if we make the decision to actually walk in the door, we’re walking out with one.’
At this time, it is unknown whether the lovebirds, who wed on September 9, 2023 during a ceremony at a private estate in Cape Cod, had a little girl or boy (seen in March 2024)

Evans adopted Dodger from a shelter while filming his 2017 movie Gifted and said the dog has made his life ‘exponentially better.’
‘He is an incredibly special dog, and I don’t think it’s possible to stay in a bad mood when he’s around,’ he gushed.
‘[Adopting him] was one of the most profound experiences I’ve ever had. It was incredibly kismet. I knew right away the second I saw him that he was coming home with me.
‘Moving forward, I’ll only rescue dogs,’ Evans added. ‘That’s the new approach from now on.’
Evans previously shared a video of ‘the moment I met Dodger’ for a National Rescue Dog Day post in 2021.
‘I was filming a movie in Savannah and the scene took place at a shelter,’ he recounted.
‘I had no intention of rescuing a dog that day, but the minute I saw him I knew he was coming home with me,’ Evans added.
