Aubrey Plaza shows off pregnancy with boyfriend one year and four months after husband’s death: social judgment remains relentless
Aubrey Plaza posed with her partner, the actor Chris Abbott (who played Charlie, Marnie’s boyfriend, on the TV series Girls), at the Tony Awards wearing a dress from Chanel’s Coco Beach 2026 collection that showcased her pregnancy. People magazine broke the news that they were expecting a baby last April. That the actress (who rose to fame on the series Parks and Recreation and was one of the leads in the second season of The White Lotus) is pregnant has angered those who believe that she has moved on too quickly, since 15 months have passed since her husband, the screenwriter and filmmaker Jeff Baena, was found dead in his home. This is not the first time the actress has been singled out. After Baena’s death was ruled a suicide, reports emerged that the couple had been separated since September 2024. Some blamed her as if, in some way, she were responsible for his death.
