Aubrey Plaza Debuts Baby Bump
Aubrey and Chris have been romantically linked since last summer, though they've known each other for years. Back in 2020, they both acted in the film Black Bear, and between 2023 and 2024, they collaborated on the off-broadway show Danny and the Deep Blue Sea. They were also spotted together at Paris Fashion Week in February, though Plaza kept her baby bump hidden at that time.
It's only now that they've officially confirmed their relationship—with the surprising announcement of her pregnancy. "It was a beautiful surprise after an emotional year," the source confirmed to People, adding that the couple feels "very blessed." While the source didn't elaborate, they're likely referring to the death of Aubrey's husband, Jeff Baena, who died by suicide last year.

"I'm genuinely so happy for her!" a final fan said. "She deserves nothing but happiness and I'm glad she was able to find that. Mother is going to literally be a mother now!"
