Aubrey Plaza and her late husband, Jeff Baena, had been living separately, before the latter’s demise in January. Following the writer-director’s death by suicide, the medical examiner’s reports surfaced on the internet, which revealed that the actress and Baena had been facing difficulty in their marital life.

The reports went on to mention that the director had been vocal about his mental health state with his estranged wife, which "prompted her to call a friend to perform a welfare check on her husband.”

Moreover, Baena had messaged Plaza on the day of his death, at around 10:30 in the morning. The writer-director’s body was found by his dogwalker, who had entered the residence.

Previously, in her interview with the media portal, Plaza had revealed about the perks of being in a relationship with someone in the same industry. She said, “I think that one of the great things about our careers is that we are forced to be independent, take little breaks, go off and do our things and come back.” 

She added, "So it’s kind of fun. Nothing is ever the same. You don’t want to spend too much time apart. But I think that there’s a way that it can work and there’s a balance in that.”

Jeff Baena was 47 at the time of his death.
