Chris Evansisn’t invincible anymore.
Nearly one year after he and his wifeAlba Baptistawelcomed their daughterAlma Grace, the Marvel star reflected on the “unexpected” part of being dad to his baby girl.
“It sounds a little cheesy, but not to other parents: How much you miss them,” Evans toldThe Dodoin an interview published Aug. 18. “We’ll put her down for a nap and I just want to see what she’s looking like on the baby monitor.”
In fact, the 45-year-old—who tied the knot with Baptista in 2023—added, “You miss her while you’re holding her, you know what I mean? It’s a strange feeling. You just want to be around her all the time.”
But Evans isn’t the only family member wanting quality time with his little one. Indeed, he said his dog Dodger has been an “incredible” big brother to Alma.
“He’s so loving. He’s so protective,” theKnives Outactorsaid. “He’ll sleep outside her room when she’s napping. He has a great instinct for young things, whether it’s a person or a puppy. He’s very gentle.”
