The new parents were spotted in New York City over the weekend on Sunday, August 9, where Plaza was seen cradling her newborn daughter while exiting Abbott’s final Broadway performance in Death of a Salesman. Sources confirm that the couple welcomed their baby girl during the final week of July.
A Journey of Joy and New Beginnings
News of Plaza’s pregnancy first surfaced in April, with sources describing the upcoming addition as a welcome blessing for the couple. Plaza made no secret of her growing bump over the spring and summer months, making several high-profile appearances.
The couple made their official red-carpet debut as expectant parents in June at the 79th Annual Tony Awards, where Abbott was nominated for his stage work. Looking radiant, Plaza proudly showcased her baby bump alongside Abbott, marking one of their rare public outings as a couple.
From On-Screen Chemistry to Real-Life Partnership
Plaza and Abbott have maintained a famously private relationship, but their creative collaboration stretches back years. The duo first worked together in the critically acclaimed 2020 psychological drama Black Bear.
They reunited creatively in late 2023 to star opposite each other in an off-Broadway revival of John Patrick Shanley’s intense two-hander Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, which ran through January 2024 to rave reviews. Their artistic connection gradually blossomed into a romance away from the stage and screen.
For Plaza, who endured a deeply challenging year following the loss of her former husband, director Jeff Baena, in 2025, the arrival of her daughter marks a deeply cherished new chapter of life, family, and hope.
