Overview

  • Multiple outlets report the pair have become first-time parents to a baby girl, citing photos published Sunday that show Plaza holding a newborn after attending Abbott’s final performance in Death of a Salesman.
  • The birth is reported to have occurred in late July, based on sources cited by TMZ and repeated across entertainment outlets.
  • Neither Plaza nor Abbott has issued a formal public announcement or revealed the baby’s name, and representatives have not released medical or other details.
  • The pregnancy was publicly confirmed in April by Plaza’s representative and acknowledged by Plaza on the SmartLess podcast, while Abbott spoke about the news on Today in May.
  • The arrival comes after a difficult period for Plaza following the January 2025 death of her estranged husband Jeff Baena, and coverage notes the couple have kept personal details private so far which suggests they will likely seek space as they adjust to parenthood.
