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.

His ex-wife has also spoken about the difficulty of undergoing a separation while having children and living in the public eye. She said:

"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.

Brawn made a name for herself as a socialite and businesswoman in New York City after her years of experience in corporate. She graduated from Columbia University in 2007 and landed a job as a photo editor's assistant at a magazine for three years.

During those years, she obtained a Communications degree from Emerson College before climbing the corporate ladder. In six years, she went from being an assistant to a Director of Marketing and Public Relations for Kiki De Montparnasse, a luxury lingerie brand.

However, after welcoming a son, they went their separate ways in 2018. In 2016, Brawn put her entrepreneurial skills to the test and launched a vintage clothing line, Chapel.

During its peak, it was worn by the likes of Kanye West, Asap Rocky, and Rihanna. However, it was a few months shy of two years before it went out of business. In 2017, Brawn was named the Hottest Socialite.

In May, the public caught wind of their relationship as they had enjoyed trips across the country. By September, they made their red-carpet debut at the 2019 Creative Arts Emmy Awards.

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.
