Aubrey Plaza talks about Jeff Baena in rare interview before his passing

Aubrey Plaza opened up about her relationship with her husband, Jeff Baena, in a rare interview a few months before his passing at 47. The news of Baena’s sudden death came as a shock, and Plaza paid tribute to her “darling husband” in her final Instagram post.

During a candid conversation on The Howard Stern Show, Plaza discussed the challenges of maintaining friendships and relationships in Hollywood. When Stern suggested that being married to a filmmaker was “better” for her than being married to an actor, Plaza agreed.

In the interview, Plaza also shared her thoughts on the highs and lows of being both work and life partners with Baena. She fondly recalled their spontaneous wedding during the COVID-19 pandemic, describing it as a mix of extreme highs and complications that they navigated together after being together for 11 years.

Plaza also mentioned how the pandemic strengthened their relationship, as they were forced to spend months quarantined together. She spoke about their unique wedding outfits, tie-dye pajamas made by Baena, and reflected on their deep connection.

News of Baena’s passing has left his family devastated, and the cause of death is still under investigation. Plaza shared her pride in his work on his latest film project, Spin Me Round, in her last Instagram post, and expressed uncertainty about attending the upcoming Golden Globes Awards.

In these difficult times, Plaza and her loved ones have asked for privacy to mourn the loss of Baena. She will be remembered for her unwavering support and love for her husband and the strength they found in each other during challenging times.
