Baena and Plaza began dating in 2011. They chose to keep their relationship very private. For years, they never confirmed their engagement or marital status.

In May 2021, Plaza revealed they had married when she referred to Baena as her "darling husband" in an Instagram post. Her caption celebrated his work on a film, describing it as a project that takes them to Italy for more escapades. According to a representative, the couple had indeed tied the knot.
