Actress Aubrey Plaza and her partner, actor Christopher Abbott, have reportedly welcomed a daughter. While the couple has not issued an official statement, Plaza was photographed in New York City with a newborn on August 9, 2026, following Abbott's final Broadway performance in ‘Death of a Salesman.’

The child was reportedly born during the last week of July. Plaza's pregnancy had been publicly confirmed by her representative in April, where she described the news as ‘a beautiful surprise after an emotional year.’ This follows a period of personal loss for the actress following the death of her estranged husband, filmmaker Jeff Baena, in early 2025.

Plaza and Abbott share a professional history, having previously worked together on the 2020 film ‘Black Bear’ and the Off-Broadway production ‘Danny and the Deep Blue Sea.’
