Aubrey Plaza was poised to be a presenter at the upcoming 2025 Golden Globes before the shocking news of her husband, Jeff Baena’s death. The actress, known for her role in “Parks and Recreation,” was listed among numerous presenters announced just days prior to the awards ceremony.
Tragedy struck on Friday when Baena, aged 47, reportedly took his own life. Authorities discovered him unresponsive in his Los Angeles home after responding to a call. While details regarding the cause of death are still pending, reports suggest suicide was involved.
Aubrey, 40, has not yet made any public remarks about this heartbreaking event. Her representative confirmed the family is “devastated” and directed inquiries to a statement given to a media outlet. The couple had been together since 2010 and secretly married in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, a fact revealed by Plaza in a 2021 Instagram post. That post included a touching tribute to Baena, calling him her “darling husband.”
Despite not sharing any children, Plaza has previously expressed her desire to become a mother. The couple seemed to have a deep bond, as Plaza mentioned in a recent interview her experience navigating the ups and downs of a long-term relationship. There has been no word yet on whether she will attend the Golden Globe event following this tragedy.
