Apart from public appearances, Evans publicly engaged with Baptista on Instagram. It started with the actor responding to Alba’s post about the premiere of Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris in Portugal with clapping hands and a heart-eyes emoji.
When it comes to love, Evans doesn’t hold back. In January 2023, Evans further solidified their seriousness with a PDA-filled social media tribute. Then, in February, the Captain America: Civil Waractor took to Instagram once again to declare his affection for Alba with a series of PDA-filled pics in honour of Valentine’s Day. And if that didn’t melt your heart, their snapshots of apple-picking, skiing, and viewing the Northern Lights together certainly did the trick.

Chris Evans, the man who donned the iconic Captain America suit, and Alba Baptista, the talented Luso-Brazilian actress, decided to take the plunge into wedded bliss in a hush-hush ceremony that was as secretive as a Marvel plot twist. The picturesque setting for this union? None other than their cosy Boston-area home in Massachusetts. On September 9 and 10, 2023, Chris Evans and Alba Baptista exchanged vows at a private estate in Cape Cod over the weekend.

What we know about Chris Evans’ wife, Alba Baptista
Now, let’s get to know the woman who captured Captain America’s heart. Alba Baptista, a 26-year-old Portuguese actress, burst onto the Hollywood scene with her role in Netflix’s Warrior Nun. But there’s more to this talented star than meets the eye.
Born in Lisbon in 1996, Alba boasts a rich heritage of both Portuguese and Brazilian descent, thanks to her parents’ cross-cultural love story. Her mother, a translator, met her Brazilian father while travelling to Rio de Janeiro for work. There’s something about destiny, right?
What truly sets Alba apart is her linguistic prowess. She’s not just a multilingual actress; she’s a polyglot extraordinaire, fluent in Portuguese, English, German, French, and Spanish. Her acting career took off at the age of 16 when she starred in Simão Cayatte’s short film Miami, winning the Best Actress award at the Festival Ibérico de Ciné.
Alba’s passion isn’t confined to the silver screen; she’s a humanitarian at heart. In 2018, she dedicated an extensive amount of her time to an orphanage in Cambodia, focusing on education. When she’s not acting or spending time with her heartthrob beau, Alba enjoys travelling, yoga, reading, art, and hanging out with friends. She’s truly a woman of many talents and passions.

Alba Baptista’s net worth
Chris Evans’ wife’s net worth currently stands at an impressive USD 1 million, a commendable figure for an emerging actress in the industry. While this may pale in comparison to hubby Chris’s staggering $80 million net worth, it’s worth remembering that Alba’s Hollywood journey has only just begun. With her talent and potential, there’s no doubt that Chris Evans’ new wife is on the path to major success.
And they lived happily ever after…
In a revealing interview with People magazine’s Sexiest Man issue, Evans spoke about his desire for a family and a loving relationship, hinting at his serious intentions. He cherished the idea of tradition and ceremony, setting the stage for what was to come.
“That’s absolutely something I want: a wife, kids, and building a family,” Evans said. “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,” he said.
In the end, it’s heartwarming to see how Captain America found his lady love and swiftly swept her off her feet. Chris and Alba, here’s to a lifetime of love and happiness!
