Aubrey Plaza & Jeff Baena: Love, Laughter, and a Long‑Standing Bond
Hollywood’s sharp‑tongued star Aubrey Plaza finally put the “we’re together” red flag to permanent status—she’s officially married to her longtime partner, filmmaker Jeff Baena. After a decade of dating, the couple didn’t need a fancy ceremony; a heartfelt Instagram caption did the job.
The Instagram Moment that Confirmed the Marriage
- Caption: “So proud of my darling husband @jeffbaena for dreaming up another film that takes us to Italia to cause some more trouble (sic)”
- Plaza tagged her “dear husband” in the post, and that’s all the world needed to know.
Click‑Bait Love or Genuine Partnership?
Aubrey’s relationship with Jeff has been a blend of personal affection and professional collaboration. They met back in 2011, and Plaza has already appeared in two of his films:
- After Beth
- The Little Hours
And keep an eye out for Spin Me Round, his upcoming feature starring the duo.
Quarantine Chronicles: “We Enjoyed It”
When the COVID‑19 lockdown hit, the power couple turned the crisis into a time‑out that they admit was surprisingly fulfilling.
“We were quarantined for months and months like everybody else. … I think it was, obviously other than all of the catastrophic things happening in the world, just on a personal level, relationship level, was kind of nice to just be forced to be in one place for that long. Could have gone either way, I guess.” – Aubrey Plaza
Work, Love, and the Art of Balance
In a 2019 interview, Plaza spoke about the perks of sharing the same profession with her partner:
“When you’re with someone that is in your field, they understand what you’re dealing with on a deeper level. … It’s really great. Working with your partner can always be challenging. There’s a lot of things we do separately and I think it’s all about balance.” – Aubrey Plaza
She added that their careers “force them to be independent,” giving each other space to grow while still reuniting for a joint creative adventure.
Bottom Line
From an admiring Instagram post to working together on feature films, Aubrey Plaza and Jeff Baena are proving that love, laughter, and a dash of dread can coexist in Hollywood’s fast‑paced world. And it looks like their recipe for success is a mix of mutual respect, creative harmony, and a little bit of prank‑worthy “trouble” to keep things spicy.
