Aubrey Plaza Breaks Silence After Husband Jeff Baena's Death: 'Unimaginable Tragedy'
Aubrey Plaza retreats from social media as she mourns her husband's death Jeff Brothers.
Just over a week after the director's death at the age of 47, the White Lotus actress has apparently deactivated her Instagram. (The account now displays “Page not found” or “No photos yet” when attempting to access it.)
Baena, a writer and director who worked with Plaza on numerous projects over the past decade, died by suicide on Jan. 3, according to a Los Angeles coroner.
“This is an unimaginable tragedy,” Plaza and the Baena/Stern family said in a statement shared with E! News January 6: “We are deeply grateful to everyone who has supported us. 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 took to Instagram to confirm their marriage.
“So proud of my beloved husband @jeffbaena,” Plaza wrote on the platform in May 2021 while working on the film Spin Me Round, “that he has come up with another film that takes us to Italy for more trouble close.”
