Aubrey Plaza previously lifted the lid on her marriage to her late husband Jeff Baena, just three months before his tragic death at the age of 47 on Friday. Opening up during a September 2024 appearance on SiriusXM’s Howard Stern Show, Aubrey cheekily confessed “I would stay away [from dating actors],” when discussing how she had fallen head over heels for her director husband. “I’m married to a writer/director. I’ve never, like, really dated an actor [or] been with an actor for a long time.”.
She added, “I think about that and I think, like, ‘Oh, God, I don’t want to be with myself’ or, ‘I don’t want to do that.’ But then, sometimes, I see there are so many actor couples and you’re, like, ‘Wow, look at them. They must really laugh it up.’”.
Aubrey and Jeff tied the knot back in 2021 after dating for over a decade, but their marriage was tragically cut short on Friday January 3 when Jeff was found dead at home and pronounced dead at the scene. Jeff was born and raised in Miami before he moved to New York to attend film school. He then began his career as a filmmaker in Los Angeles. His directorial debut was with Life After Beth, which he worked on with his wife.
When asked about writing and directing the movie, Baena said to Seensome in 2014: "It’s all I ever want to do; it felt really comfortable and fun. I’ve been a writer for twelve years now and it was always a means to an end, I never wanted to be a writer, I wanted to be a director so this was always my intention and it felt right.".
