An A-list TV and movie star was spotted travelling by subway around her home city of New York this week.

The actress, who recently revealed she is pregnant with her first child, went largely unrecognised as she stood in the carriage.

The familar star, who has had lead roles in TV hits The White Lotus and Parks And Recreation wore a cropped white T-shirt, which flashed a glimpse of her baby bump.

She added a beige coat, and a pair of black shorts and finished off her quirky ensemble with knee-high white socks and purple New Balance sneakers.

Away from her high profile roles, this actress has been back in the spotlight after recently revealing her pregnancy.

But can you guess who it is?

An A-list TV and movie star was spotted travelling by subway around her home city of New York this week but can you guess who it is?

It's Aubrey Plaza!

The actress is expecting her first child with actor Christopher Abbott, 40, more than one year after her estranged husband Jeff Baena died by suicide.

Aubrey's train sightting comes after she broke her silence on her pregnancy in a Smartless podcast episode shared on Monday.

'Well, there's a baby inside of me. No, I said there's a baby inside of me right now,' she told hosts Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes.

Plaza explained: '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 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 star continued.

Injecting her signature quirky humor, she joked, 'It already has a cloak and a little hat. I think it’s gonna come out.'

Asked if she was 'excited' about becoming a first-time mom, the Parks And Recreation actress answered: 'I am. Yeah. I've always wanted to see what that's all about, you know?'

Last week Plaza and Abbott were pictured together for the first time since their baby news went public.

They were snapped while celebrating the Broadway revival of Death of a Salesman at the show's opening night afterparty at Katz's Deli in New York City.

Prior to announcing their exciting baby update, they had kept their romance under wraps.

The couple first worked together in 2019 on the indie psychological drama Black Bear, followed by the Off-Broadway revival of Danny And The Deep Blue Sea, which ran from October 2023-January 2024.

Baena's body was discovered in January 2025 after he took his life at age 47.

Plaza and the screenwriter had been separated since September 2024, an LA County Medical Examiner's autopsy report obtained by DailyMail.com revealed.

She was living in New York when he was found in Los Angeles on January 3.
