Add Page Six on Google Chris Evans has revealed that his "priorities have shifted" since becoming a dad last year.
During an appearance at Fan Expo Boston 2026 earlier this month, the "Captain America: The First Avenger" star opened up about how fatherhood has changed his approach to work.
"I have a daughter now. You need a really good reason to want to go to work now," Evans, 45, said in a clip from the event shared by a social media user. "[My] priorities have shifted a bit."
The "Knives Out" actor shares his first child with "Warrior Nun" actress Alba Baptista, 29. The couple quietly welcomed their daughter , Alma Grace Baptista Evans, in Massachusetts in October 2025.
Rumors that Baptista was pregnant began in June 2025 after her father, Luiz Baptista, seemingly let the news slip in a comment on a fan account's Father's Day post celebrating him and Evans' father, G. Robert Evans III.
"Many thanks, dear Chris. Your turn is coming! 🥰" Luiz wrote, appearing to mistake the account for the "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" star's own.
Evans previously told Access Hollywood in November 2024 that "absolutely" wanted to become a father one day.
"I hope so," he said when asked if he wanted to follow in his "Red One" co-star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's footsteps. "The title of dad is an exciting one."
In the days after the birth, a source told People that Evans "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," the source also said.
When reports of the upcoming "Avengers: Doomsday" star's new addition began circulating, an insider told People that he and Baptista were "enjoying their privacy and these special first few days as a family."
In March, less than five months after becoming parents, Evans and Baptista made a rare post-baby appearance at the 2026 Academy Awards, hitting the red carpet together for their first Oscars as a couple.
Evans and Baptista's romance first made headlines in November 2022 , when reports revealed they had been quietly dating for more than a year.
He seemingly confirmed their relationship months later, sharing sweet snaps of the pair on Instagram for Valentine's Day.
They tied the knot in an intimate Massachusetts ceremony in September 2023 before celebrating again with Baptista's family in Portugal.
