broke her silence on his death<\/a> last August during her appearance on Amy Poehler\u2019s \u201cGood Hang\u201d podcast.<\/p>\n\u201cRight in this very very present moment, I feel happy to be with you,\u201d she told her former \u201cParks and Recreation\u201d co-star. \u201cOverall, I\u2019m here and I\u2019m functioning.\u201d<\/p>\n

She later candidly described her grief.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt all times, there\u2019s, like, a giant\u00a0ocean of just awfulness that\u2019s just right there and I can see it.\u201d<\/p>\n
She continued, \u201cSometimes I just want to dive into it and be in it. And sometimes I look at it and sometimes I just try to get away from it, but it\u2019s always there.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s unclear when Plaza and 40-year-old Abbott\u2019s relationship turned romantic, but they\u2019ve worked with one another over the years. They co-starred in the 2023-2024 off-Broadway revival of\u00a0\u201cDanny and the Deep Blue Sea,\u201d and were also co-stars in the 2020 comedic thriller \u201cBlack Bear.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aubrey Plaza is reportedly pregnant with her first child.
