Grieving Aubrey Plaza gets support from 'Parks and Recreation' costar

Aubrey Plaza is going through a difficult time as she grieves her husband, Jeff Baena, and Chris Pratt is there for her.

Baena died by suicide in early January, and Plaza has received immense support from her TV co-star Pratt.

“Chris and Aubrey hit their early career strides when they worked together on Parks and Recreation, and their bond has only strengthened over the years as they both grew into internationally known movie stars,” an insider told Life & Style.

“They were an incredibly effective team on that show, and they had each other’s backs. It’s not a fake Hollywood friendship, it’s the real thing, and Chris has been extremely supportive of Aubrey during this difficult time,” the mole continued.

The tipster noted that the Guardians of the Galaxy star “does have a bit of a savior complex” and “that goes triple” when he is “worried about somebody who he has been as close with for as long as he has been with Aubrey.”

“The big difference of course is that while Aubrey almost never shows emotion and can turn almost anything into a deadpan joke, Chris wears his heart on his sleeve and isn’t afraid to bring his spirituality into moments like this, which is exactly what Aubrey needs at a time like this,” the insider explained. “The only thing they really have in common is this friendship, and because of what happened with Jeff, it’s become more important to Aubrey than ever.”

Chris Pratt and Aubrey Plaza, 40, co-starred in the hit sitcom Parks and Recreation and have remained friends since.
