Aubrey Plaza previously revealed Jeff Baena got ‘death threats in his DMs’ after they got married
Aubrey Plaza once said that her husband Jeff Baena “received death threats in his DMs after they got married.”
The couple had been together since 2011 and married for three years before he passed away in January 2025 at the age of 47.
The 40-year-old actress previously spoke about how some of her most devout fans had inappropriate reactions to her tying the knot with Baena in 2020.
She shared insight into some of the horrible and erroneous correspondence her husband received after they decided to get married spontaneously.
‘Oh my God. Jeff was getting death threats in his DMs,” she previously said Cosmopolitan in 2022 when the interviewer noted that her bisexual fans were saddened to hear about the marriage.
“People project so many things onto the wedding, but it wasn’t some big statement that I’m trying to make and want everyone to respond to,” she added.

A year earlier, she had opened up about how they secretly tied the knot to celebrate their 10-year dating anniversary while in lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic.
During a December 2021 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, she opened up about how their extraordinary marriage came about.
“A lot of things have happened for me during COVID. Yes, we are married. A big problem,” she said.
‘One evening we were a bit bored. We got married and I’ll tell you how: Onehourmarriage.com. That’s real, look it up.’
She also shared how they wore matching tie-dye pajamas that Baena made for them.
“We were in lockdown,” she explained. “It got a little crazy, especially in my house.
“My husband was all about tie-dying and when I say tie-dying I mean 50 shirts a day.”
After their spontaneous decision to get married, she remembered how they quickly made it happen.
