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

Actors Aubrey Plaza and Chris Abbott were spotted together in New York City this weekend, fueling speculation about a possible romantic relationship. The pair, both known for their indie film work, were photographed leaving a West Village restaurant late Saturday night, appearing cozy and laughing together.

Plaza, 41, best known for her deadpan humor in "Parks and Recreation" and recent horror hit "Emily the Criminal," has kept her personal life private in recent years. Abbott, 39, gained acclaim for his role in "Catch-22" and recently starred alongside Plaza in the 2025 thriller "The Thicket."

Entertainment outlets began circulating the photos Sunday morning after they were posted by celebrity gossip Instagram account DeuxMoi. The images show the actors walking closely together, with Abbott's arm casually draped around Plaza's shoulders.

Neither Plaza nor Abbott have commented on the nature of their relationship. Representatives for both actors did not immediately respond to requests for comment from major news outlets.

The sighting comes just weeks after Plaza wrapped production on the second season of HBO's "The White Lotus," where she plays a mysterious resort guest. Abbott recently completed filming on an upcoming A24 drama set for release this fall.

Fans on social media appear largely supportive of the potential pairing, with many noting their shared indie film sensibilities. "They'd be the coolest couple in Hollywood," one Twitter user wrote, while others praised their low-key public personas.

This would mark Plaza's first public relationship since her 2021 breakup with longtime partner Jeff Baena. Abbott was previously linked to actress Sarah Goldberg in 2023, though neither confirmed the relationship.

The actors' professional connection through "The Thicket" has led some to speculate their relationship may have developed on set. The film, which premiered at last year's Toronto International Film Festival, featured intense scenes between the two leads.

As of Monday morning, searches for both actors' names have spiked by over 300% on Google Trends, with particular interest in their relationship status. The story continues to gain traction across entertainment news platforms and social media.
