“This is an unimaginable tragedy. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has offered support. Please respect our privacy during this time,” Plaza said in a statement shared with People magazine.
Baena, whose many credits include “Life After Beth,” died Friday. He was 47 and committed suicide, according to the Los Angeles County medical examiner.
Lopez, Affleck submit divorce settlement
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have settled their divorce and are asking a judge to finalize their breakup.
Lopez filed documents Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court that show the former couple settled their divorce through mediation in September, about a month after she filed for divorce.
While most of the financial details of their split were not publicly filed, neither star will pay the other spousal support. Lopez will drop Affleck from her legal name once the divorce is finalized.
The superstar couple married in July 2022. Lopez filed for divorce in August 2024, although the couple said in court filings that they separated in April 2023.
Records filed Monday show the pair resolved the financial aspects of their divorce through mediation and without drawn-out proceedings in court.
The settlement documents were first reported by website TMZ.
Pugh says role left her ‘broken for a long while’
Florence Pugh is hesitant to play another role like the one she portrayed in 2019 horror film “Midsommar,” saying she felt like she “abused” herself and was “broken for a long while afterwards.”
In the movie, the British actress starred as a grieving graduate student who joins her boyfriend on a visit to rural Sweden to observe a festival that happens every 90 years during the summer solstice. Pagan rituals and cultish horrors soon begin to unfold.
“Protecting myself is something I’ve had to learn how to do,” Pugh said during the “Reign With Josh Smith” podcast.
The actress said on the podcast that some roles she has played require giving “too much” of herself and can leave her feeling “broken for a long while afterwards.”
In an interview with The Sunday Times last month, Pugh said that, in order to enter the frame of mind needed for the role, she had to imagine family members in coffins and going to an open casket funeral for her siblings.
