Aubrey Plaza was expected to host the 2025 Golden Globe Awards on Sunday before her husband, Jeff Baena, died unexpectedly at the age of 47 on Friday.
The “Parks and Recreation” actress was among the list of more than three dozen presenters announced by the Golden Globe Awards on Thursday.
It is unclear whether she will attend the show, which will be broadcast live from the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.
Page Six reached out to her representative about whether or not she would attend the event and did not immediately receive a response.
Baena died on Friday after committing suicide, according to TMZ. An aide reportedly found him unresponsive at his Los Angeles-area home.
Police responded to a call at approximately 10:30 a.m. local time Friday, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The official cause of death has not been announced.
Plaza, 40, has not yet commented publicly on her husband's death. Her representative confirmed to Page Six that the family is “devastated” by directing us to a statement provided to Deadline.
The couple has been together since 2010 and the actress revealed via Instagram in 2021 that they secretly tied the knot in 2020 while in quarantine amid the coronavirus pandemic.
She later confirmed that the marriage was her husband's idea, although his proposal was originally a joke.
The post the Golden Globe nominee used to reveal her marriage appears to be the only public Instagram post she's ever shared with Baena.
In the comment, she praised him and described him as her “beloved husband.”
The couple did not have any children, although she told GQ magazine in 2022 that she had considered getting pregnant during the pandemic.
During the same interview, she gave a glimpse into her married life as she compared her real-life marriage to that of Harper, her “White Lotus” character.
“I've been with my husband for 12 years. I relate to being in a relationship that has peaks and valleys, hitting a rough patch and comparing myself to other couples who seem perfect,” she said.
