Aubrey Plaza is embarking on a new chapter in her personal life, as the actress is expecting her first child with partner Chris Abbott. The baby is due to arrive in the fall of this year, according to a report published Tuesday by PEOPLE.
The announcement marks a significant milestone for Plaza, who has built a successful career in film and television while maintaining a relatively private personal life. Details regarding whether the couple is expecting a boy or girl have not been disclosed.
Plaza reportedly began showing early signs of her pregnancy last month during Paris Fashion Week, where she attended multiple events while strategically concealing her baby bump beneath an oversized leather jacket and loose-fitting clothing. The careful wardrobe choices allowed the actress to maintain privacy during the early stages of her pregnancy.
The actress and Abbott share a professional history in addition to their personal relationship. The pair collaborated on the 2020 film "Black Bear" and worked together on an off-Broadway production of "Danny and the Deep Blue Sea," demonstrating a creative partnership that has now evolved into a family unit.
Plaza was previously married to screenwriter and director Jeff Baena, but they did not have children before their separation and his death. This pregnancy represents her first experience with motherhood as she prepares to welcome a child later this year.
The news has generated widespread attention and congratulations from fans and industry colleagues alike, as Plaza prepares for this transformative new role in her life alongside Abbott.
