Page Six has reached out to Plaza’s rep for comment, but didn’t immediately receive a response.

Plaza tragically mourned the death of her late husband, Jeff Baena, in January 2025. The screenwriter died by suicide according to online records from the County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner’s Office obtained by Page Six. He was 47 years old.

The two had separated months before Baena’s death.

Plaza broke her silence on his death last August during her appearance on Amy Poehler’s “Good Hang” podcast.

“Right in this very very present moment, I feel happy to be with you,” she told her former “Parks and Recreation” co-star. “Overall, I’m here and I’m functioning.”

Plaza noted that she was “very grateful to be moving through the world” and felt “OK.”

She candidly described her grief.

“At all times, there’s, like, a giant ocean of just awfulness that’s just right there and I can see it.”

She continued, “Sometimes I just want to dive into it and be in it. And sometimes I look at it and sometimes I just try to get away from it, but it’s always there.”
