In one of her first public appearances since the tragic death of her husband, Aubrey Plaza introduced a musical guest on the 50th anniversary of Saturday Night Live.
The White Lotus star's husband, Jeff Baena, who married Plaza in 2021 after 10 years of dating, had also worked with his wife on the horror film, Life After Beth in 2014.
Baena was found death at a home near the Fern Dell Nature Trail, near the Hollywood Hills, with the LA County Medical examiner later ruling that he had taken his own life.
A statement from Plaza, and the Baena/Stern family, had later described Baena's death as "an unimaginable tragedy".
"We are deeply grateful to everyone who has offered support", the statement added. "Please respect our privacy during this time". More on this here.
