Who is Tyler Davidson? Aubrey Plaza reportedly seen walking with friend after husband’s death 

Aubrey Plaza, the actress, was recently seen in Los Angeles’ Griffith Park, walking alongside Tyler Davidson, her friend and a film producer. This event is considerable because of its timing, which comes only a few months after her husband and filmmaker Jeff Baena’s tragic death.

Jeff Baena committed suicide on January 3, 2025. Plaza, known for her roles in Parks and Recreation and Emily the Criminal, has been keeping a low profile since her husband died. Thus, her recent sighting has brought a great deal of interest among her fans and the media.

Who is Tyler Davidson?

Tyler Davidson is a very influential American film producer and a well-known figure in the independent film industry. He is the Partner and President of Low Spark Films, a production house located in Cleveland, Ohio, and Los Angeles, California.

During the years, he has managed to produce a couple of critically acclaimed films, among which are Take Shelter (2011), The Kings of Summer (2013), The Signal (2014), and Emily the Criminal (2022).

Davidson has been actively involved in independent cinema by being the main supporter of this segment and often decided to shoot scenes in Cleveland to utilize the city's ancient places as well as the local people to play supporting roles. Certainly, working together in "Emily the Criminal," a crime thriller that received very good reviews, personally connected him with Plaza.

Aubrey Plaza’s friendship with Tyler Davidson

The recent sighting of Aubrey Plaza with Davidson has left people wondering whether they are more than just friends. The two have been seen together at Emily the Criminal, and that could be all it was. Friendship and support during a difficult time for Plaza might be why this meeting happened.

As per a report by The Blast, Plaza and Baena silently parted ways in September 2024. During that time, Plaza shifted to New York, whereas Baena stayed in Los Angeles.

Informants who are buddies of the couple say that Baena faced personal challenges in the last days of his life, which ultimately led to his suicide. He last texted Aubrey 3hr before his death, and by the time his dog walker found him, he was already gone.

Public and media reactions

People who are fans of Plaza are cheering her on through social media by giving her condolences as she has to deal with the tragic loss. Some have also pointed out that the grieving process in the public eye can be extremely tough, given the constant media that is always on people's backs.

Although some media outlets have discussed the type of her friendship with Davidson, no confirmed data indicates a romantic relationship. So far, Plaza has not yet commented on her recent encounter in public or on her private life after Baena’s death.

Moving forward

While it is a hard time for her, we can rest assured that her friends are there to support her. Whether it signifies the related reasons of the actress for her next move, or it is only a quiet breeze from her friend, where questions await the answer.

Yet again, for the present, fans and other well-wishers pray for Plaza to find the power of the spirit and restoration needed in the light of her personal loss.
