Overview
- The couple made a public red‑carpet debut at the 79th Tony Awards on June 7, 2026, with Plaza visibly pregnant and Abbott by her side at Radio City Music Hall.
- Plaza publicly confirmed the pregnancy in April on the SmartLess podcast when she said, “Well, there’s a baby inside of me,” and told interviewers she is excited to become a mother.
- Abbott earned his first Tony nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Play for Biff Loman in Death of a Salesman, and he did not win the award at the ceremony.
- The couple began dating after working together on the 2020 film Black Bear and a 2023 off‑Broadway revival, and multiple outlets report the baby is due in the fall.
- Coverage notes Plaza’s reported past separation and the January 2025 death of Jeff Baena but relies more heavily on Plaza’s own statements and recent public appearances for confirmation of the pregnancy and the couple’s new public profile.
