Chris Abbott And Aubrey Plaza Spark Dating Rumors After NYC Sighting...

Actor Chris Abbott and comedian Aubrey Plaza are fueling dating speculation after being spotted together in New York City this week. Photos obtained by TMZ on Wednesday show the pair leaving a West Village restaurant, laughing closely and appearing affectionate. The sighting has gone viral, with fans dissecting their chemistry and past interactions.

Abbott, known for Catch-22 and The Sinner, and Plaza, famous for Parks and Recreation and The White Lotus, have never publicly confirmed a relationship. However, they previously worked together on the 2020 film Black Bear, where Plaza starred and Abbott had a supporting role. Industry insiders suggest they remained friends after filming wrapped.

The timing coincides with Plaza’s recent split from longtime partner Jeff Baena in late 2025. Abbott, who has kept his personal life private, was last linked to a non-celebrity partner in 2023. Neither has commented on the rumors, but social media reactions range from excitement ("They’d be the quirkiest couple!") to skepticism ("Probably just friends").

This isn’t the first time Plaza’s love life has made headlines. Her unconventional charm and deadpan humor have long fascinated fans. Meanwhile, Abbott’s rising profile—with recent roles in Wolf Man and Kraven the Hunter—has drawn more attention to his off-screen life. The duo was last seen publicly at an indie film festival in January, though they attended separately.

Entertainment outlets are watching for confirmation, but for now, the rumor mill keeps spinning. Whether platonic or romantic, their connection is undeniably intriguing to pop culture obsessives. Updates are expected if either party addresses the speculation.
