Who Is Aubrey Plaza’s Baby Daddy? Meet Christopher Abbott

Aubrey Plaza is set to welcome her first child with Christopher Abbott, her representative confirmed on April 7, 2026. The baby is reportedly due this fall, nearly a year after the tragic death of her husband, filmmaker Jeff Baena, who passed away in January 2025.

Christopher Abbott, 40, is best known for his roles in HBO’s Girls and Hulu’s miniseries Catch-22, earning critical acclaim and a Golden Globe nomination. He has also appeared in independent films such as James White, Poor Things, and the 2025 horror film Wolf Man. Abbott previously collaborated with Plaza on several projects, including the indie film Black Bear and the Off-Broadway play Danny and the Deep Blue Sea in 2023.

The couple’s relationship reportedly began as a professional collaboration that evolved into romance following Aubrey Plaza’s separation from Jeff Baena in late 2024. They were first seen together publicly in summer 2025, maintaining a low profile while preparing for parenthood.

Aubrey and Christopher confirmed their relationship and her pregnancy on April 7, 2026. The actress, who recently attended fashion events at New York and Paris Fashion Weeks, was seen wearing loose-fitting outfits that reportedly concealed her baby bump.

The pregnancy news comes after an emotionally challenging year for Plaza, who openly grieved the loss of her husband, Jeff Baena, who died by suicide in January 2025. Fans hope the upcoming arrival brings her happiness and joy.
