Aubrey Plaza and Chris Abbott Make Their Red-Carpet Debut at the Tony Awards
Aubrey Plaza and Christopher Abbott made their romance red carpet official at the Tony Awards.
The parents-to-be looked besotted as they made their entrance at New York City's Radio City Music Hall tonight for the 79th Annual Tony Awards. Aubrey wore a sleek black-and-white dress while Christopher wore a sharp black velvet suit. Their appearance comes two months after Aubrey's surprise pregnancy announcement.
Christopher is nominated for a Tony Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Play for his raw portrayal of Biff Loman in the Broadway revival of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. The play, which also stars Nathan Lane and Laurie Metcalf, is up for nine nods at the annual ceremony.
The pair met when they co-starred in 2020 indie film Black Bear and later worked together in the 2023 off-Broadway revival of Danny and the Deep Blue Sea. They kept their romance under wraps, but it's believed they started dating in 2025. Many were unaware of their relationship prior to their exciting baby news.
"He cares, but he also doesn't care; it's the best recipe for me for a scene partner," the Parks and Recreation actress told The New York Times. "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," she added. "We're both unafraid to be ugly and weird and strange."
While Aubrey has mostly laughed off pregnancy, making jokes about the news. She did open up to Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, and Sean Hayes about motherhood. "I've always wanted to see what that's all about, you know?" Aubrey said on the SmartLess podcast. "It just seems so interesting, that whole thing."
Aubrey's happy baby news comes more than a year after the death of her estranged husband, Jeff Baena, who passed away at the age of 47 on January 3, 2025. The pair wed in 2021 before quietly separating in 2024, after numerous collaborations, including 2014's Life After Beth and 2017's The Little Hours.
