Baby Joy for Aubrey Plaza & Tony Nominee

Actress Aubrey Plaza and her husband, Tony Award nominee Abbott, are anticipating the arrival of their first child, with the baby expected this fall. The news of Plaza's pregnancy was officially confirmed last month. A source close to the couple revealed that the pregnancy was a "beautiful surprise" and expressed that they feel "very blessed" as they prepare for parenthood.

Abbott, who recently garnered a 2026 Tony Award nomination for his performance in "Death of a Salesman," appeared on a morning talk show to discuss the exciting personal news. He acknowledged that "too much is going on" in his life but expressed gratitude for the well wishes. The couple's professional lives have often intersected, having first collaborated on the 2020 thriller "Black Bear" and later in the 2023 Off-Broadway revival of "Danny and the Deep Blue Sea." Their relationship reportedly began after being spotted together in July 2025.

Prior to her current relationship, Plaza was married to the late Jeff Baena. She had been separated from Baena for four months before his death in January 2025. Plaza spoke about the profound grief of losing her husband during an August 2025 podcast appearance, describing her experience as a "daily struggle" but expressing gratitude for being able to move forward.
