Aubrey Plaza Confirms She Is Pregnant—Weeks After Finding a Buyer for $5.8 Million Home She Shared With Late Husband Jeff Baena

Comedian Aubrey Plaza is pregnant with her first child with partner Chris Abbott—just over one year after her husband, Jeff Baena, passed away at their Los Angeles home.

Plaza, 41, confirmed via her spokesperson that she is expecting a baby with the "Girls" actor, with a source telling People magazine that she and Abbott "feel very blessed," adding that the pregnancy came as a "beautiful surprise after an emotional year."

Before the news was shared, Plaza had not publicly shared the news about her relationship with Abbott, whom she has collaborated with on several projects, including the 2020 movie "Black Bear." They also starred alongside one another in the off-Broadway production of "Danny and the Deep Blue Sea" in 2023.

The actress has not yet publicly addressed her pregnancy; however, it comes at a time of significant change for Plaza, who has been openly dealing with her ongoing grief over the loss of her spouse, telling fellow comedian Amy Poehler in August that her sadness felt like "a giant ocean of awfulness."

Baena was pronounced dead on Jan. 3, 2025, inside the Los Feliz property he shared with Plaza, with the Los Angeles County Coroner later confirming the cause of death as suicide.

Just eight months after Baena died, Plaza chose to put that same home on the market, initially listing the four-bedroom dwelling for $6.5 million, although she later lowered that asking price to $5.75 million.

That discount appears to have worked some magic with prospective buyers, with Realtor.com® exclusively revealing last month that she had accepted an offer on the home, which is currently pending sale.

Plaza and Baena—a writer and director—purchased their home together in October 2022, paying $4.7 million for the Los Feliz property.

Records show that the property was purchased via a trust managed by an accounting firm located in the same office as Plaza's production company, Evil Hag Productions.

The Mediterranean-style dwelling, which features four bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, was built in 1928 and appears to have been purchased off market, according to Realtor.com data.

Before it was purchased by the couple in 2022, the home last changed hands in 2017 for $3.6 million.

In its new listing, the Spanish-style home is described as being "tucked away on a private street" in the "coveted" neighborhood of Los Feliz Oaks.

"Meticulously restored and tastefully updated, the home honors its architectural heritage while offering modern amenities including a screening room, wine cellar, pool, oversized steam room, and a state-of-the-art sound system," the description continues.

"This is more than a home... it's a private sanctuary, brought back to life with care, style, and enduring character. A rare opportunity for those seeking space, seclusion, and authentic Spanish charm."

Listing images reveal an incredibly tasteful interior, with a neutral, elegant palette used throughout the home, which is filled with natural light.

The bright and airy kitchen features large glass doors to the backyard, helping to create a seamless flow between the two spaces.

However, there are several pops of color throughout the abode, including a large pink couch in one of the living areas, as well as funky yellow-and-green tile in a bathroom.

Pink appears to have been a favorite hue for Plaza, with the primary bathroom painted in a very pale rose, while the primary bathroom also features fun lighting fixtures in a similar color.

The home also offers many amenities outside of the main residence, including multiple outdoor living spaces "designed for dining, lounging, and entertaining," as well as a stunning swimming pool that is nestled on a grassy lawn, with a canopy of trees providing natural shade for the hottest of days.

In one of the living spaces, an artistic arched window helps to emphasize the beauty of the home's surroundings, providing a picturesque view of the property's gardens—serving almost as a natural art piece in the space, which also boasts a cozy fireplace.

Arches run throughout the dwelling, from the curved front door to the arched doorways that lead from one room into the next in many of the main living areas.

Plaza and Baena purchased the home just over one year after they revealed they had secretly tied the knot, with the actress sharing the news in a May 2021 Instagram post in which she referred to her partner as her "darling husband."

The couple, who had been dating since 2011, kept their relationship largely out of the spotlight; however, Plaza did previously note that their shared love of the movie industry had been a great boon to their romance.

"I think that when you're with someone that is in your field, they understand what you're dealing with on a deeper level," she told People in 2019. "So obviously you are able to support each other and really understand kind of the journey that we're both on."

In an August appearance on Poehler's podcast, "Good Hang," Plaza opened up about her devastation over the loss of her husband, telling the host: ""Overall, I'm here and I'm functioning. I feel really grateful to be moving through the world. I think I'm OK, but it's like a daily struggle, obviously."
