Aubrey Plaza faces cheating accusations following pregnancy announcement after late husband’s brother allegedly accuses her

Aubrey Plaza has found herself at the centre of renewed online speculation after a now deleted social media post by the brother of her late husband Jeff Baena circulated widely across the internet. The post, which appeared on Facebook before being removed, accused the actor of infidelity during the final months of her marriage to the filmmaker.

The claim quickly attracted attention online, particularly because it emerged shortly after Plaza publicly revealed that she is expecting her first child. The timing of the post led to intense discussion across social media platforms, although the allegation itself remains unverified and widely described online as rumour.

Plaza and Baena were married for four years after spending more than a decade together as partners. The couple quietly separated in September 2024, several months before Baena died in January 2025. His death was widely reported as a suicide and prompted an outpouring of sympathy from colleagues across the film industry.

The Facebook message posted by Baena’s brother suggested that the relationship between Plaza and actor Christopher Abbott began before the separation. However, the post was deleted after drawing criticism and backlash online. Screenshots of the message continued to circulate on various platforms, prolonging speculation despite its removal.

The Facebook account that published the message has reportedly been verified as belonging to Baena’s brother, although neither Plaza nor Abbott has publicly addressed the claim. Entertainment observers have noted that allegations shared on social media, particularly those later removed, frequently gain traction even without confirmation.

Plaza and Abbott have known each other professionally for several years. They worked together on the 2020 film Black Bear, where their performances drew praise from critics. The pair reunited in 2023 as co stars in an Off Broadway revival of Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, a stage production that also received strong reviews.

Their professional collaboration has occasionally been cited by online commentators as the starting point for their relationship, although there is no confirmed timeline linking the productions to their current partnership.

Following her separation from Baena, Plaza relocated to New York City, where Abbott has lived for years. The move prompted additional speculation among fans, though no official explanation was provided at the time.

In recent days, the renewed attention has largely centred on the deleted social media message rather than any verified developments. As the screenshots continue to circulate, the episode illustrates how quickly personal claims can spread online and reshape the public conversation around celebrities, even when the original post is removed.

For now, Plaza has remained silent on the situation while continuing to keep her private life largely out of public discussion.
