Pregnant Aubrey Plaza was spotted showing off her growing baby bump while attempting to keep a low profile on the New York City subway. The “Parks and Recreation” star, 41, was seen on Tuesday leaning against a subway stanchion and scrolling on her phone.
For her casual outing in the Big Apple, Plaza wore a cropped white T-shirt that revealed her lower belly, paired with black shorts, a khaki jacket, white knee-high compression socks, and New Balance sneakers.
Plaza portrayed Harper Spiller in Season 2 of The White Lotus, further boosting her profile following her breakout roles in television and film.
She completed her casual New York City look with a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a Deliberate L black woven shoulder bag priced at $195.
Earlier that same day, Plaza was photographed strolling through Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood during a relaxed outing.
The “The White Lotus” actress’s subway sighting came just one day after she confirmed she is pregnant with her first child with boyfriend Christopher Abbott.
Speaking candidly on the “Smartless” podcast with Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett, she revealed the news in her typically deadpan style.
“Well, there’s a baby inside of me,” she said during the episode.
When the hosts reacted in surprise, she clarified: “No, I said there is a baby inside of me right now.”

Last week, news emerged that the “Dirty Grandpa” star—referring to Plaza’s role in Dirty Grandpa—is expecting her first child with boyfriend Christopher Abbott.
Plaza’s pregnancy news comes more than a year after the death of her husband, Jeff Baena, who died by suicide in January 2025.
