Inside Amy Poehler and Will Arnett's Co-Parenting World: What Their Kids Are Doing Now
By Chloe Bennett
In her 2014 bestselling memoir Yes Please, Poehler addressed the end of her marriage with extreme candor about grief while refusing to divulge private details. "I don’t want to talk about my divorce because it is too sad and too private," she wrote. She acknowledged the universal agony of watching a family change shape, but she pointedly praised Arnett's fatherhood, writing that she was proud of how they continued to raise their children together.
Arnett echoed this sentiment in an extensive 2022 profile with The Guardian. He described the emotional collapse following the initial separation while filming Arrested Development Season 4, admitting he cried on the side of the highway between takes. Still, he emphasized that working through that raw pain was essential to protect his sons from lingering bitterness. The pair made a mutual commitment: the details of why the marriage ended belonged exclusively to them, not to book sales, profile pieces, or streaming specials.
