The couple’s rocky marital status was revealed in a Medical Examiner’s report, according to TMZ.
Documents said the pair had been separated since November 2024, four months before he tragically committed suicide.
Police said they were told the pair had been apart for months, when Aubrey moved to New York.
Cops added they were also informed Jeff and Aubrey spoke on the phone the night before he was found dead.
Jeff’s cause of death was also confirmed as suicide in the Medical Examiner’s report.
The docs also added no drugs, alcohol, nor a suicide note were found at the scene.
Filmmaker Jeff married the popular White Lotus actress in 2021.
Baena spoke openly about his mental health before his film Horse Girl was released in 2020 on a Reddit Ask Me Anything forum.
The screenwriter was asked about the film’s main character Sarah, played by Alison Brie, being released from the mental hospital and if that specific scene was based on personal experiences.
Baena responded, admitting to watching his own stepmom suffer bipolar disorder.
He wrote in February 2020: “Unfortunately, people get released all the time when they still need treatment.
“The 72-hour mandatory hold only applies to patients who are a danger to themselves, so they must be released after that appraisal period.”
