Aubrey Plaza Welcomes First Child With Christopher Abbott

A public sighting gives the first visual confirmation of the newborn despite no formal announcement from the parents.

Overview

  • Photographs published on Aug. 9 show Aubrey Plaza carrying a newborn in New York City after Christopher Abbott’s final performance in the Broadway revival of Death of a Salesman.
  • Multiple outlets report the couple welcomed a daughter in late July based on TMZ’s photos and sources with direct knowledge, though neither parent has officially confirmed the birth or shared the child’s name.
  • Plaza’s pregnancy was first confirmed to People in April and Abbott publicly acknowledged it on Today in May, making this the first child for both actors.
  • Plaza and Abbott have a history of professional collaboration, including the 2020 film Black Bear and the off‑Broadway production Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, and Abbott earned broad attention for his recent Broadway run.
  • Coverage stresses the couple’s privacy and uses paparazzi photos and unnamed sources for the new details, a development that follows Plaza’s public comments last year about grieving after the January 2025 death of her estranged husband Jeff Baena.
