Actress Aubrey Plaza has become a mother for the first time at the age of 42. The star welcomed a baby girl with her partner, actor Henry Abbott, according to reports and photographs published by celebrity portal TMZ.

Plaza was seen in New York cradling her newborn daughter shortly after attending the final performance of Abbott's play, 'Death of a Salesman.' Sources indicate the baby was born during the last week of July. This joyous news follows the couple's confirmation of the pregnancy in April, which was shared with People magazine.

A source close to the couple described the pregnancy as a "beautiful surprise after an emotional year," referencing the tragic death of Plaza's husband, filmmaker Jeff Baena, in January 2025. Plaza and Baena had been together since 2011 and married in 2021, though they had separated months before his death by suicide.

Plaza and Abbott have collaborated on screen, appearing together in the 2020 film 'Black Bear' and working on the stage play 'Danny and the Deep Blue Sea' between 2023 and 2024. The couple reportedly feels "very blessed" by the arrival of their child.
