Aubrey Plaza Appears on ‘The View’ to Discuss Pregnancy and New Animated Series

On April 16, 2026, Aubrey Plaza made her first televised appearance since announcing her pregnancy, joining the cast of ABC’s “The View” to discuss her journey into motherhood and promote her upcoming animated series, “Kevin.” The appearance marked a significant moment for the Wilmington-born actress, who confirmed she is expecting her first child with partner Christopher Abbott, with the baby due this fall.

During the segment, Plaza was seen rubbing her baby bump as she shared her excitement about becoming a mother for the first time. She also discussed her animated series “Kevin,” which co-stars and is executive produced by Whoopi Goldberg, a longtime co-host of “The View.” The show, created by Plaza alongside Joe Wengert and Dan Murphy, follows a housecat dissatisfied with his domestic life and is set to premiere all eight episodes on Amazon MGM Studios’ Prime Video on April 20, 2026.

Plaza’s appearance on “The View” comes shortly after she revealed her pregnancy in early April 2026. She has since spoken about the experience on the “SmartLess” podcast, with an episode scheduled for release on April 20, 2026. Her partner, Christopher Abbott, whom she met during the off-Broadway production of “Danny and the Deep Blue Sea” in late 2023, is also expected to welcome their first child together this fall.

The episode featured additional guests from the “Kevin” cast, including Amy Sedaris and John Waters, who joined Plaza in discussing the project. Plaza, an alumna of Ursuline Academy in Wilmington, Delaware, described the talk show as a natural platform to share both personal milestones and professional updates with a broad audience.

As Plaza continues her pregnancy journey, her April 16 appearance on “The View” stands as one of her first major public engagements since sharing the news, blending personal reflection with career promotion in a setting that has long welcomed her as both a fan and collaborator.
