Plaza went on to share how surreal the moment felt, revealing she had just come from a doctor’s appointment.

“Today was a big day. I went to the doctor’s today, and my dog also went to the doctor’s. And both of us — my dog’s getting a scan right now. I got a scan earlier. I’m not kidding,” she explained. “She had to get an ultrasound on her stomach. And then I got an ultrasound on my stomach, and there is a baby in there.”

The news comes after a deeply emotional year for Plaza, whose estranged husband, Jeff Baena, died by suicide in January 2025.
