AUDREY Plaza's hosting role in tonight's Golden Globes ceremony is in doubt following the tragic death of her husband Jeff Baena.

In 2023 Plaza earned her first Golden Globe nomination as Best Supporting Actress in a television limited series/motion picture for the role of Harper Spiller in White Lotus. Her team is yet to confirm whether or not she will be in attendance at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, Los Angeles, tonight.

Screenwriter and director Baena, 47, was found dead at their Los Angeles home after taking his own life. Baena married actress Plaza in 2021 and was best known for Indie movies such as Life After Beth, Joshy and The Little Hours. His body was found by an assistant at the property, which the couple bought together in 2022, at 10.25am.

Baena was pronounced dead at the scene. Los Angeles Police Department told The U.S. Sun: "We responded to a death Investigation and the case is being handled by the Coroner's Office.". The LA County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed the screenwriter died by hanging.

His family have been left "devastated" by the sudden news and have asked for privacy, US outlet Deadline reported. Baena and Plaza - who starred in Parks and Recreation - wed more than four years ago after a decade together. They kept both the engagement and marriage a secret before Plaza described Baena as her "darling husband" in a touching Instagram post in 2021.
