Aubrey Plaza Is Expecting First Child With Christopher Abbott

The confirmation points to a private new chapter following a difficult year.

Overview

  • Plaza’s representative confirmed to People on Wednesday that she is pregnant with her first child with actor Christopher Abbott, with the baby due in the fall.
  • The pair’s relationship timeline remains private, though they have a long professional history together in Black Bear (2020) and the 2023–24 Off-Broadway revival of Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, and they were photographed together at New York Fashion Week on February 14.
  • This news follows the January 3, 2025 death by suicide of Plaza’s estranged husband, filmmaker Jeff Baena, with records showing the couple had separated in September 2024.
  • A source quoted by People called the pregnancy “a beautiful surprise” after an emotional year and said the couple feel “very blessed.”
  • Most outlets report a fall due date based on People’s exclusive, though at least one outlet misreported spring, and key personal details such as the baby’s sex and when the romance began remain private.
