Prior to this, she made her mark in the Portuguese entertainment industry with appearances in films and TV shows like A Impostora, Filha da Lei, A Criação, and Jogo Duplo.
Following her success in Warrior Nun, she made her way through the 2022 dramatic comedy Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris.
Beyond her acting career, Baptista is passionate about charitable endeavors. In 2018, she dedicated her time to an orphanage in Cambodia, focusing on educational initiatives. She is proficient in five languages, including Spanish, French, German, English, and her native Portuguese.
Chris Evans had been caught constantly liking Baptista's Instagram posts since October 2022, even engaging with some from as far back as July of the same year and August of 2021.
In a candid interview for the Sexiest Man issue, Chris Evans hinted at his desire to build a family. He expressed his longing for a committed relationship in his life.
In January 2023, a source disclosed to Us Weekly that Chris Evans and Alba Baptista were extremely dedicated to each other, stating, "This is the most committed anyone can remember him being in a very long time, if not ever."
They often spend their time at Evans' serene Massachusetts house, away from the constant spotlight and attention.
