Aubrey Plaza’s Secret Split Before Husband’s Shocking Suicide Revealed
Aubrey Plaza maintained a quiet presence during a solemn excursion in Los Angeles this week, as she grieved the loss of her spouse, Jeff Baena.
Behind a big pair of sunglasses, the 40-year-old actress covered herself with a hoodie to shield herself from the remaining cold.
The appearance occurred several days following the disclosure that she had discreetly parted ways with Baena approximately four months prior to his unexpected suicide at the age of 47.
A DailyMail.com-acquired autopsy report from an LA County Medical Examiner showed that the filmmaker and actress parted ways as far back as September of the previous year. At the moment his body was found on January 3, she was residing in New York City.
In his last few months, it was outlined in the report that the Life After Beth director was dealing with challenging issues within his marriage. Additionally, it was mentioned that he had been undergoing counseling sessions.
The investigator mentioned in the records that the individual (whose name wasn’t disclosed in the final document) claimed to have talked with Baena on the day preceding his demise.
The report, unfortunately, disclosed that Plaza had expressed worry about the welfare of her separated spouse as well.
In October 2024, Baena said worrying things to Plaza, causing her to reach out to a friend for a wellness check on her spouse. According to the records, Baena has been undergoing therapy since then.
The medical autopsy report further confirmed that Baena was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol when he passed away.
According to the statement, it was confirmed on January 3 that Plaza’s husband was still alive, since he had texted her that day.
The report suggested that a dog walker found Baena’s body after noticing unusually loud music coming from his house, which she thought was out of the ordinary.
When she dialed the writer and director but they didn’t respond, she found herself knocking on their door instead, only to uncover their lifeless body within.
As a devoted supporter speaking on behalf of the establishment, let me express that this situation is beyond imagination. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all those who have extended their compassionate assistance. At present, we kindly ask for privacy as we navigate through this difficult period.
Baena, a graduate with a film degree from New York University, kicked off his career by gaining practical experience working alongside prominent filmmakers. He served as a production assistant under Robert Zemeckis and worked as an assistant editor for David O. Russell, providing him with a solid foundation in the industry.
His significant opportunity arrived when he collaborated on the writing of the critically acclaimed existential comedy I Heart Huckabees (2004), which was directed by Russell.


About a decade has passed, and then he made his directorial debut in 2014 with the romantic horror-comedy film “Life After Beth,” where Aubrey Plaza played the leading role.
They reunited for 2016’s Joshy and 2017’s The Little Hours, which Plaza also produced.
Apart from Baena, frequently worked together with actress Alison Brie. She featured in The Little Hours and led both co-scripting and acting roles for his last two movies, namely the psychological drama Horse Girl released in 2020 and the dark comedy thriller Spin Me Round which premiered in 2022.
In 2011, Plaza and Baena started dating. In an interview with Page Six in 2018, she mentioned that their shared passion for films played a significant role in bringing them closer, eventually leading to both their professional and romantic collaborations.


In 2021, it was made clear that they had secretly gotten married a year prior. This revelation came about when she affectionately called Baena her “dear husband” on Instagram during the promotion of Spin Me Round, in which she played a supporting role.
Plaza has been making tentative steps to get back into the world after Baena’s devastating death.
On the weekend, marking Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary celebration, the actress stepped into the limelight for the first time since Baena’s passing last month, as she introduced musical acts Miley Cyrus and Brittany Howard.
She paid a touching and discreet homage to her deceased spouse by donning a tie-dye shirt, symbolizing one of his interests and their wedding.
