Aubrey Plaza’s Separation from Jeff Baena Before His Tragic Passing
In a heartbreaking turn of events, it has been revealed that actress Aubrey Plaza and her husband, indie film director Jeff Baena, were separated months before his untimely passing in January. According to a report from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, the couple had been facing marital difficulties and decided to part ways in September 2024, when Plaza moved to New York.
The report further details that Baena had made troubling remarks in October, which deeply concerned Plaza. So much so that she reached out to a friend to perform a welfare check on him. It was later confirmed that Baena had been attending therapy as he tried to navigate the emotional challenges following their separation.
On January 3, tragedy struck. Plaza received a text message from Baena at 10:36 AM ET—the last known communication from him. Later that day, his body was discovered in his Los Angeles home by his dog walker. Authorities confirmed that he had died by suicide. No substances or alcohol were found in his system, and no suicide note was left behind.

Baena, known for his work on films such as Life After Beth , Joshy , and The Little Hours , had been a significant figure in the independent film scene. He and Plaza had been together for over a decade before marrying in a private ceremony in 2021.
Following his passing, Plaza and Baena’s family released a heartfelt statement, expressing their grief and asking for privacy. In February, Plaza made her first public appearance since his death at Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary special, where she honored Baena by wearing a tie-dye shirt—a tribute to the outfit they both wore on their wedding day.
This devastating loss has left many in the industry mourning, as friends and colleagues remember Baena’s creativity and passion. While Plaza continues to grieve, the support from fans and loved ones has been overwhelming.
