AUBREY PLAZA & CHRIS ABBOTT: FROM CO-STARS TO SOMETHING MORE?
As discussed in Deux/U’s June 19th podcast episode, Aubrey Plaza may have a new love interest in former co-star (and Deuxmoi fan favorite), Chris Abbott. Deuxmoi received a sighting of Plaza and Abbott at The Chatham Berry Farm, which is located about 2.5 hours outside of New York City.
But the encounter did not necessarily seem platonic according to our eye witness.
Deuxmoi’s source said that Plaza “was rubbing his back, and they were sitting very close to each other at a picnic table.” From the insider’s POV, the vibes appeared “more than friends.”
The visit was also a bit familial, as Deuxmoi’s fly on the wall intimated that “his sister and [her] two kids, possibly” joined them on the rural excursion. Apparently Plaza “knew the singer” and chatted the female musician up after her performance. Later on, the source discovered that the mystery singer was none other than Chris Abbott’s older sister, Christina Abbott. In fact, Abbott’s sister posted on Instagram about a musical appearance at the farm on June 14th, so this “hangout” was quite recent. The Abbott-Plaza group spent a considerable amount of time on the property, as “they had several rounds of drinks from the cideryand ate dinner.”
While this sighting cannot lead us to any concrete conclusions, Deuxmoi received intel about an interesting on-set experience with the actors during their interpretation of “Danny and the Deep Blue Sea,” circa 2023.
A Deuxmoi’s sources explained an incredibly intimate exchange between the once on-screen couple. About halfway through their play’s run, the source informed us that Abbott hurt his knee, which led Plaza to perform a “coordinated dance scene where she gave him a lap dance when he was on crutches.” Before he sustained this injury, the actress comedian “[rode] him simulating sex while he’s on the floor as one of the sets changed between acts.” On the evening that Abbott hurt himself, Plaza “went into a different mode to take care of him and was very affectionate.” Instead of making a post-show appearance, she “avoided any stage door due to Chris being her main concern.” The source disclosed that the play’s leading lady opted away from discussing Abbott’s injury, rather stating that “he was not feeling well.”
Whatever their relationship might be, Plaza has had a tremendously rough 2025–she needs a win. Earlier this year, her estranged husband Jeff Baena lost his battle to depression. Being the strong woman that she is, Plaza strikingly re-entered the spotlight at the Cannes Film Festival for her upcoming film, "Honey Don’t!" Meanwhile, Abbott has been living his best single life in New York City, from an on/off Raya profile to allegedly sharing pizza with Camila Cabello last year in Tribeca.
Maybe back rubs are like hugs for Plaza and Abbott, but we have reason to believe there could be something going on between them…
