PEOPLE exclusively broke the news that the couple was expecting their first child together in April. Plaza spoke out about the pregnancy for the first time on the SmartLess podcast while chatting with hosts Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes.
“Well, there's a baby inside of me,” the Parks and Rec star shared at the time, adding of motherhood, “I've always wanted, I've always wanted, I've always wanted to see what that's all about, you know? It just seems so interesting, that whole thing.”
