AceShowbiz - Aubrey Plaza and Christopher Abbott recently shared their first public date night, radiating joy as they prepare to welcome their first child together.

The couple's outing took place shortly after news broke confirming the Parks and Recreation star and the Girls alum are expecting a baby. Their first appearance as a couple was at the after-party for the Broadway premiere of The Death of a Salesman.

Captured at Katz's Deli in New York, the pair looked happy and affectionate, with their arms wrapped around one another. Christopher Abbott wore a gray jacket over a partially buttoned pinstripe shirt, accessorized with gold jewelry that added a subtle touch of elegance.

Aubrey Plaza showcased her pregnancy glow in an all-black outfit, featuring a stylish blazer and several stacked necklaces, combining chic and comfort effortlessly.

This public appearance came just two days after Aubrey Plaza was seen flaunting her baby bump while walking her dog in New York City. On that casual stroll, she kept a low profile with joggers, oversized peacoat, and sunglasses, embracing a relaxed yet fashionable look as she navigated the city streets.

Although the couple only recently confirmed their relationship, their connection goes back several years. They first worked together in 2020 on the film Black Bear, and three years later reunited on stage for the New York production of Danny and the Deep Blue Sea.

During their time working together, the duo shared insights about their professional rapport. Aubrey Plaza described Christopher Abbott as a scene partner who balances caring with a carefree attitude, creating the ideal environment for creativity and fun. She explained to The New York Times in 2023, "He cares but he also doesn't care; it's the best recipe for me for a scene partner." She added that she enjoys a dynamic where she can be playful and not take things too seriously.

Christopher Abbott echoed this sentiment, noting their shared willingness to embrace awkwardness and strangeness onstage. He also highlighted their growing friendship and mutual desire to entertain, confessing, "We want to entertain the audience, but I personally want to entertain Aubrey."
