The 2026 Tony Awards were a memorable event for Aubrey Plaza and Christopher Abbott, who made their red carpet debut as a couple at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Plaza, showcasing her baby bump, and Abbott, dressed in matching black-and-white outfits, posed for photos ahead of the ceremony. This appearance marked their first since the announcement of their pregnancy in April. Abbott received a nomination for best actor in a featured role for his performance in Arthur Miller’s 'Death of a Salesman', although he ultimately lost to Alden Ehrenreich. This nomination was Abbott's first, with other nominees including Danny Burstein and Richard Thomas. Plaza has shared her thoughts on motherhood, stating her curiosity about the experience during an appearance on the SmartLess podcast. The couple previously collaborated on the 2020 film 'Black Bear' and in a recent off-Broadway revival. Plaza's husband, screenwriter Jeff Baena, tragically passed away in January 2025, and the couple had been separated since September 2024.
