Aubrey Plaza Breaks Her Silence Following Husband Jeff Baena’s Death: “Unimaginable Tragedy”
Aubrey Plaza is taking a step back from social media as she mourns the death of husband Jeff Baena.
Just over a week after the director’s passing at the age of 47, the White Lotus actress has seemingly deactivated her Instagram. (The account now reads “page not found” or “no photos yet” when attempting to access it.)
Baena, a writer-director who worked with Plaza on numerous projects over the last decade, died by suicide on Jan. 3, according to Los Angeles medical examiner records.
“This is an unimaginable tragedy,” Plaza and the Baena/Stern family said in a statement obtained by E! News Jan. 6. “We are deeply grateful to everyone who has offered support. Please respect our privacy during this time.”
While Plaza and Baena, who met in 2011, kept most of their relationship private, the Parks and Recreation alum previously used Instagram to confirm their marriage.
“So proud of my darling husband @jeffbaena,” Plaza wrote on the platform in May 2021 while working on the movie Spin Me Round, “for dreaming up another film that takes us to italia to cause some more trouble.”
