Arnett met his second wife, Amy Poehler, in 1996, and the two comedic stars began dating soon after. After tying the knot in 2003, the former couple celebrated over a decade of marriage before going their separate ways in 2016.

Although they have managed to co-parent their children since their separation, there was a time Arnett found it difficult to go to work due to his "brutal" divorce. The actor detailed how he pulled over on his way to set and cried in his car.

"It's brutal with any relationship, and we have kids, and then you see stuff online. This is a breakup. This is a family. This isn't some game."

Years after his second marriage ended, the Canada-born actor found love again in Brawn, a woman also familiar with divorce.

"Well, when you already have kids, you know how long the road is."

Their son, Alexander Denison Arnett, who they often call Denny, was born in Los Angeles on May 27, 2020. In August 2020, Will Arnett took to social media to celebrate his son reaching the three-month mark.

While the actor chose to conceal his son's face, he did show Denny in a onesie from a diner with the same name, and his son adorably sat in a box from the diner.
