Christopher Abbott spoke about partner Aubrey Plaza’s pregnancy for the first time on the “Today” show Monday.
The “Girls” alum, 40, gushed over the “very exciting” news after Jenna Bush Hager broached the subject.
“Can we say congratulations?” the latter asked. “You’re expecting a babe.”
The actor, who portrays Biff Loman in the Broadway revival of “Death of a Salesman,” quipped, “I thought [you meant] for my Tony nom!”
Clarifying that he was “kidding,” Abbott joked that there is “too much” going on in his life.
News broke last month that he and Plaza have a little one on the way, due in the fall.
“It was a beautiful surprise after an emotional year,” a source told People in April, referencing the January 2025 suicide of Plaza’s husband, Jeff Baena.
The insider added that the “Parks and Recreation” alum and Abbott felt “very blessed” to be starting a family.
The actress confirmed her pregnancy in a “SmartLess” podcast episode the following week.
“There is a baby inside of me right now,” she said at the time. “I’ve always wanted to see what that’s all about, you know?
“It just seems so interesting, that whole thing,” Plaza continued of parenthood.
While the comedian continued discussing her pregnancy during her “Kevin” press tour, she has yet to give any insight into her romance with Abbott.
