Chris Evans faces online speculation weeks after welcoming daughter with Alba Baptista

Chris Evans and his actress-wife Alba Baptista recently welcomed their baby girl, born in October 2025. The couple has been enjoying early parenthood, but the joy was briefly overshadowed by cheating rumours that surfaced online. The timing of the speculation sparked unnecessary noise, especially since the couple became parents barely a month ago.

How the cheating rumour began

The buzz started with a TikTok blind item posted by an anonymous user. The claim suggested that a “married A-list actor from Boston” was allegedly seen with a brunette at a local bar. The post also hinted that the actor’s wife had “recently given birth.” The vague description led many online users to assume it referred to Evans, given his Boston roots and Alba’s recent delivery.
However, the post provided no photos, no evidence, and no confirmation.

What Evans has said before about Alba and the Tara ‘friend-zone’ moment

The resurfacing of Tara’s name led people to revisit old interviews. Chris has spoken warmly about Tara in the past. In a 2011 interview, he said his dog, Dodger, stayed with “a girl named Tara — I grew up with her in Boston, and she’s lived out in L.A. for a few years. She absolutely adores him.”

Their friendship returned to headlines in 2015 when Tara accompanied him to the Academy Awards. A mix-up occurred on live television when the host introduced her as Chris’s girlfriend. Tara quickly corrected it, responding, “Oh no! I’m not his girlfriend.”

Chris later added clarification, saying, “No, let’s clarify. This is one of my best friends on the planet from back home.”

On the work front

Chris Evans was recently seen in 'Materialists'. There are also rumours that he may return to the MCU to reprise his role as Captain America in the upcoming film 'Avengers: Doomsday'.
