Aubrey Plaza returns to work after husbands death | TV Shows

Aubrey’s husband and director Jeff was pronounced dead on January 3 after being found unresponsive by an assistant as his Los Angeles home at just 47. 

After his death, Plaza deleted her Instagram after her husband’s death and missed the Golden Globes as it took place just two days later.

The Brutalist filmmaker Brady Corbet used his acceptance speech after winning Best Director for a Motion Picture Drama to share his sympathies.

He said: “Tonight my heart is with Aubrey Plaza and Jeff’s family.”

Many fans and friends have taken to social media to send their condolences. Dane DeHaan, who starred alongside her and Jeff in “Life After Beth,” shared an emotional tribute to Baena with a black and white photo captioned: “Jeff Baena. 1977-2025”.

Plaza and Baena secretly married in 2020 after dating for a decade.

The couple did not have any children and announced they tied the knot in May 2021.
