Pregnant Aubrey Plaza bares her baby bump in cropped tank top

Aubrey Plaza really is bumping along just nicely. 

The actress, 41, kept her bun in the oven cool as she took her dog for a walk in the Big Apple on Friday – her baby bump on full display.

Wearing a black tank top that showcased her blossoming midsection, it was the perfect outfit for an expectant mother seeking to show off their bump. 

Plaza is expecting her first child with her boyfriend, Christopher Abbott, 40.

‘Well, there’s a baby inside of me. No, I said there’s a baby inside of me right now,’ she told hosts Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes back in April. 

Plaza explained: ‘Today was a big day. I went to the doctor’s today, and my dog also went to the doctor’s. And both of us – my dog’s getting a scan right now. I got a scan earlier. I’m not kidding.’

‘It was a beautiful surprise after an emotional year,’ a source told the publication.

The couple, who previously starred on Broadway together before falling in love, are said to be feeling ‘very blessed.’

People first reported that Plaza was expecting a child with Abbott back in April, with a representative for the actress confirming the news to the outlet.

The couple first worked together in 2019 on the indie psychological drama Black Bear, in which both actors played dual roles as actors and directors trying to shoot a film in an eerie, isolated lake house.

The low-budget thriller premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2020 to critical acclaim, with several reviewers singling it out as one of Plaza’s best performances to date.

She worked again with Abbott in 2023 – this time on stage – in the Off Broadway revival of John Patrick Shanley’s play Danny And The Deep Blue Sea, which ran until January 2024.

The baby news comes a year after the shock death of Plaza’s estranged husband Jeff Baena by suicide.
