Aubrey Plaza Expecting First Child After Tragedy

is pregnant with her first child just over a year after the tragic death of her husband Jeff Baena.

A representative for The star, 41, confirmed to the Daily Mail on Tuesday that she is expecting a child with her new boyfriend, Christopher Abbott, 40.

The baby, whose gender has not been revealed, is due in the fall.

'It was a beautiful surprise after an emotional year,' a source told the outlet of the pregnancy news.

Plaza and Abbott, who previously costarred on Broadway before falling in love, are said to be feeling 'very blessed.'

The couple first worked together in 2019 on the indie psychological drama Black Bear, in which both actors played dual roles as actors and directors trying to shoot a film in an eerie, isolated lakehouse.
