Overview
- The couple made their first major red‑carpet appearance together at the 79th Tony Awards on June 7, 2026, with Plaza prominently showing and cradling her baby bump.
- Plaza’s pregnancy was first confirmed to People in April 2026 and she publicly acknowledged it on the SmartLess podcast, saying she is expecting a child this fall.
- Christopher Abbott earned his first Tony nomination for Best Featured Actor for Death of a Salesman but the award went to Alden Ehrenreich.
- Plaza and Abbott have a professional history dating to the 2020 film Black Bear and a 2023 off‑Broadway run, and reports say they began dating in 2025 after Plaza’s separation from Jeff Baena and his death in January 2025.
- The appearance fused a personal milestone and a career moment: expect the couple to remain private while Plaza moves into public maternity appearances and Abbott’s Broadway profile grows.
