Chris Evans and his wife Alba Baptista, 29, can count themselves among Hollywood’s most limelight-shy couples. The 45-year-old Knives Out actor—who quietly welcomed his first child, a baby daughter, with the Portuguese star last October—has only stepped out with his wife on the red carpet twice, including a glam parents-night-out appearance at the Oscars in February. However, during a recent appearance, Evans gave fans a rare glimpse into his life as a girl dad as he opened up about his changing “priorities” as a father.

In a new video from a fan that was captured during Evans’s appearance at the Fan Expo Boston 2026 event earlier this month, the Avengers actor got candid about how welcoming a baby has shifted his mindset on his acting career. “I have a daughter now. You need a really good reason to want to go to work now,” Evans told the crowd of fans, adding, “[My] priorities have shifted a bit.”

It’s the first time that Evans—who quietly married Baptista in an intimate Cape Cod ceremony in 2023—has publicly spoken about the couple’s new addition. However, People previously confirmed that the duo became a family of three when they welcomed their baby daughter, who they revealed is named Alma Grace Baptista Evans, on October 24 in Massachusetts. At the time, insiders also shared that Evans and Baptista were basking in their newfound parenthood.

“They’re enjoying their privacy and these special first few days as a family with their baby,” a source told People. Meanwhile, a second insider revealed, “Chris is completely in awe of his daughter. He’s been soaking in every quiet moment and couldn’t be more proud to be a girl dad.”
Evans—who was first linked to Baptista in 2022—appeared to have marriage and babies on the brain while chatting with People for his “Sexiest Man Alive” cover that same year. “That’s absolutely something I want: wife, kids, building a family,” Evans said at the time. He explained, “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.”
