Aubrey Plaza stepped out in public with her newborn baby for the first time.
The âParks and Recreationâ alum held her child in her arms while out and about in New York City over the weekend.
The new mom â who was dressed casually in a black top and blue jeans â was photographed after attending partner Christopher Abbottâs final performance in Broadwayâs âDeath of a Salesman.â
Plaza and Abbottâs newborn, meanwhile, was wrapped up in a gray blanket and white beanie.
Earlier Sunday, Plaza was seen arriving to the show wearing an oversized blue sweater and jeans, as another woman held her baby.
The 42-year-old actress gave birth during the last week of July, according to TMZ, who was first to report the news and publish the pictures of Plaza with her newborn.
Plaza confirmed her pregnancy back in April during her appearance on the âSmartLessâ podcast.
âWell, thereâs a baby inside of me,â she shared at the time.
When asked if she was âexcitedâ about becoming a first-time mom, Plaza replied, âI am. Yeah. Iâve always wanted to see what thatâs all about, you know?â
That same month, a source told People that Plazaâs pregnancy âwas a beautiful surpriseâ and that she and Abbott, 40, âfeel very blessed.â
The âWhite Lotusâ star showed off her baby bump multiple times during her pregnancy, including at the 2026 Tony Awards where Abbott was nominated for his performance in âDeath of a Salesman.â
She styled her bump in a black-and-white pinstripe dress as the happy couple posed for pictures together at the June 7 event.
Abbott, for his part, gushed about the âvery excitingâ pregnancy news during his appearance on the âTodayâ show in May.
The âGirlsâ alum also joked that there was âtoo muchâ going on in his life at the moment.
Plaza and Abbott were first linked after a fan claimed they saw the pair getting cozy at a berry farm outside New York City in July 2025.
The couple has worked together multiple times, including in the 2020 movie âBlack Bearâ and in the 2023 to 2024 off-Broadway revival of âDanny and the Deep Blue Sea.â
Plaza was previously married to Hollywood director and screenwriter Jeff Baena, who died by suicide at the age of 47 in January 2025. The couple were separated for four months before Baenaâs death.
Speaking about grief on Amy Poehlerâs âGood Hangâ podcast in August 2025, Plaza said she was âhere and functioningâ after the tragedy.
âI feel really grateful to be moving through the world,â she added. âI think Iâm OK, but itâs like a daily struggle, obviously.â
