The TV starlet keeps her personal life quiet - but has previously opened up about her relationship with her husband, who is very famous as well. Find out more about the power couple here…

Aubrey and Jeff have been together for 12 years after meeting while playing Balderdash, and married in a small wedding during the COVID lockdown back in 2020. Although neither Aubrey nor Jeff confirmed it at the time, Aubrey referenced the screenwriter as her husband in an Instagram post about their project Spin Me Round in May 2021 that read: "So proud of my darling husband @jeffbaena for dreaming up another film that takes us to Italia to cause some more trouble.

Working together
Since then, Aubrey has spoken about Jeff occasionally in interviews, particularly while promoting Spin Me Round. Chatting to People, she explained: "It was very hectic while we were making the show because we were quarantined and Jeff, he created the show; it was his idea. Our house became this strange post-production facility and he's downstairs on his Zooms or on his sessions and I'm upstairs editing, we're just going back and forth."

I think it was, obviously other than all of the catastrophic things happening in the world, just on a personal level, relationship level, kind of nice to just be forced to be in one place for that long. Could have gone either way, I guess.
"I think that when you’re with someone that is in your field, they understand what you're dealing with on a deeper level. So obviously you are able to support each other and really understand kind of the journey that we're both on."
Inside their relationship
Speaking about her relationship while promoting White Lotus, where she plays a woman in a strained relationship who is irritated to be on holiday with the seemingly perfect couple, she added: "I’ve been with my husband for 12 years. I relate to being in a relationship that has peaks and valleys, and going through a rough patch and comparing yourself to another couple that seems perfect."
