Aubrey Plaza goes off Instagram after husband’s death

The news about the Agatha All Along star’s Instagram account deactivation broke out when many users visited her page only to receive an error pop-up. The pop-up read “Sorry, this page isn’t available.” Given this, many are confused about whether she has deactivated her Instagram or has permanently deleted her account. This move of Plaza came right after Baena’s sudden death at age 47.

Plaza and Baena family’s representatives issued a statement, addressing the latter’s demise on Monday 6. It read, “This is an unimaginable tragedy. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has offered support. Please respect our privacy during this time.” (via CBS News) Baena was a noted filmmaker and writer, known for his popular stints, including Life After Beth (2014),  Horse Girl (2020), Spin Me Round (2022), and others.

It remains unclear when Plaza and Baena officially met and connected. However, they have been romantically linked since 2011. From there on, they have collaborated on multiple projects including Joshy and The Little Hours. Soon, their glimpses of romance on social media confirmed their dating status.

In 2021, Plaza subtly announced that now she is a married woman. However, they were secretly reportedly married during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. “We got a little bored one night. We got married and I’ll tell you how: Onehourmarriage.com. That’s real, look it up,” she revealed on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. (via US Weekly)
