Aubrey Plaza makes her first onscreen appearance since the death of her husband, screenwriter and director Jeff Baena, in a 2025 Super Bowl commercial. In the ad for Ritz, the deadpan icon embraces her salty side with Michael Shannon and Bad Bunny.

Aubrey Plaza made her surprise return to the public eye during the Super Bowl commercial, just months after her personal loss.

Aubrey Plaza made a surprise appearance alongside Michael Shannon and Bad Bunny in a Ritz ad during the Super Bowl LIX, marking her first on-screen appearance since her husband Jeff Baena passed in early January.

Aubrey Plaza has appeared on screen for the first time since the death of her husband Jeff Baena last month. In early January, The White Lotus actress’ husband died at the age of 47 after taking his own life.

The ad marks Plaza’s first public appearance since Baena’s death. In a statement shared with The Independent at the time, Plaza said: “This is an unimaginable tragedy. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has offered support. Please respect our privacy during this time.”
