LOS ANGELES — Aubrey Plaza is pregnant!

Plaza and "Girls" star Christopher Abbott are expecting their first child together. Representatives for Plaza confirmed to People that the pair are set to become parents in the fall. The couple, who have kept their romance under wraps, were spotted together at the Khaite Fall/Winter 2026 fashion show during New York Fashion Week in February.

Plaza, who's become Hollywood's favorite weirdo since splashing onto the scene as April Ludgate in the mockumentary sitcom "Parks and Recreation," met Abbott when they worked together in 2020. The two starred in the psychological thriller "Black Bear," and then joined forces once more in 2023 for the off-Broadway revival of "Danny and the Deep Blue Sea." Abbott may be best known for stealing the hearts of "Girls" fans when he portrayed Charlie Dattolo on the HBO megahit.

In "Danny," the pair portrayed volatile lovers, and they raved about working with each other while chatting with the New York Times ahead of the production's premiere. "He cares but he also doesn't care; it's the best recipe for me for a scene partner," Plaza said.

"It's fun and it's also good and it's also safe. I like to just throw things out the window also and laugh and mess around and not take it so seriously. It's a hard combo to come by."

"We're both unafraid to be ugly and weird and strange," Abbott added. The two also agreed that although they aim to entertain the audience, they both hoped to entertain each other.

Plaza — who is known for her deadpan delivery not only on screen but also while giving interviews on red carpets and the late-night circuit — has become known for dropping lines tailor-made for internet culture. In 2011, she notoriously told Jay Leno that she was too awkward for dating. "I'm kind of like all or nothing," she said. "Either put a baby inside of me or leave me alone."

The big baby news arrives for the "White Lotus" star a year after the death of husband Jeff Baena, an independent filmmaker who directed Plaza in "The Little Hours." Baena, who died at 47 in January 2025, had been separated from Plaza for a few months before his death.
