Amy Poehler's Dating History Includes Some Famous Faces – Remembering All the Actress's Boyfriends

Amy Poehler is one of today's most recognizable faces in Hollywood. But aside from a stellar career, the award-winning actress boasts a colorful dating history that includes famous men.

Born on September 16, 1971, in Newton, Massachusetts, Amy Poehler grew up to become a household name in America. A multi-hyphenate, Poehler is a comedian, actress, writer, producer, and director.

She played notable characters in numerous films, including "Blades of Glory," "Sisters," and "The House." Beyond her prolific career, Poehler explored several romantic relationships in search of lasting love.

Amy Poehler and Will Arnett's Decade-Long Marriage Ended in a 'Heartbreaking' Split

Actor Will Arnett met Poehler in 1996 when she was on stage with her improv comedy group, the Upright Citizens Brigade. Even though he liked her immediately, they didn't start going out until 2000. After three years of dating, the couple tied the knot.

While they kept their relationship private, their onscreen partnership became a hit among fans. Their onscreen chemistry was evident in successful productions like "Arrested Development" and "Blades of Glory."

The couple welcomed their first son, Archie, in October 2008, and their second son, Abel, in January 2010. In September 2012, news of their separation shocked fans. Poehler and Arnett had been married for nine years at this point.

It was a "brutal" breakup for Arnett, who recalled driving to the set of "Arrested Development" and stopping on the side of the road to cry for an hour. Poehler was just as heartbroken.

However, fans were surprised and intrigued when Poehler appeared in a video during the pandemic with her ex-husband, sparking speculations they were self-isolating together.

Poehler wrote in her memoir "Yes Please" that her divorce was "too sad" and that it was "too personal" to talk about. It was in April 2014 that Arnett filed for divorce from Poehler, and it was finalized in August 2016.

Their split broke the hearts of fans, who had viewed them as a perfect couple. In an interview, Arnett opened up about the aftermath of his split from Poehler.

He lamented how some people, including the media, made their split seem like a game. Still, Arnett spoke highly of his ex-wife, saying their children were blessed to have Poehler as their mother. He added:

"And I'm so lucky that we're such a huge part of each other's lives, even more so than we were five years ago."

Amy Poehler Once Went on a Date with John Stamos

Poehler started dating actor John Stamos after her divorce. In 2014, the actress said that she and the handsome actor once had dinner at a restaurant together, and it seemed like their nice meal ended on a funny and confusing note.

She told Stamos they were "maybe" having a date at the time, but she blew it. In a separate interview, Stamos aired his side of the funny dinner with Poehler and said it was supposedly a date.

He claimed that Poehler had no idea it was a date, even though he had asked her out in the first place. The handsome actor also said he had a good time with the comedian back then.

Although he and Poehler never married, Stamos remained friends with her. Stamos is now happily married to model and actress Caitlin McHugh, with whom he shares a son.

People Were Super Excited about Amy Poehler's Relationship with Nick Kroll

In 2013, Poehler began a new romance with fellow comedian and actor Nick Kroll. The cute couple made their relationship public at the 41st Life Achievement Award Gala for the American Film Institute in Hollywood.

According to a source, the couple looked "so cute together" and were inseparable at the time. Kroll and Poehler had spent a lot of time together as friends before they started dating.

He said their shared love of improv comedy helped them stay friends for a long time, and because of that, he said, "We've stayed in touch ever since then."

Poehler's romance with Kroll was discussed in her memoir. In the book, she noted Kroll as the boyfriend who knew how to "settle" her. She revealed in the book their quirky moments and Kroll's romantic gestures.

However, in 2015, the admirable pair reportedly parted ways. A source stated that Kroll and Poehler's schedules were why they broke up, as they couldn't make the relationship work.

Poehler and Kroll also spent a lot of time apart. The source added that the couple grew "tired" and thought their relationship became unrealistic.

Poehler shared her views about going back to the dating scene at her age: "I find my relationships at 40-plus are really emulsified, juicy relationships because you have more of a sense of who you are and who you want to be around."

Amy Poehler's Last Known Boyfriend Was Lawyer Benjamin Graf

In May 2016, Poehler was spotted spending quality time outdoors with her children and a man who was later identified as Benjamin Graf, an intellectual property lawyer working for Merchant & Gould's office in New York City.

US Weekly confirmed that Poehler was dating Graf. According to his bio on the company's website, Graf specializes in trademarks and patents and helps various companies, including tech start-ups and multinational corporations.

Poehler looked happy with Graf and her children in photos snapped as they hiked in Los Angeles. But the actress never publicly spoke about their relationship. Graf was Poehler's last known boyfriend.

These Days, Amy Poehler, Tries to Keep Her Love Life Away from the Spotlight

Poehler prefers to keep her dating life private these days. She has been extra secretive about her personal life following her breakup from Kroll in 2015. Since her rumored romance and subsequent split with Graf, Poehler has not been linked to anyone.

Poehler and the NYC-based attorney's romance reportedly fizzled out after two years. If the actress has found love since then, she has done well keeping it under wraps.

However, fans were surprised and intrigued when Poehler appeared in a video during the pandemic with her ex-husband, sparking speculations they were self-isolating together.

The former couple made a cameo on "Stronger Together, Tous Ensemble," a Canadian television special saluting frontline workers and supporting Food Banks Canada.

Despite speculations that Arnett and Amy Poehler got back together, the actor has a new girlfriend named Alessandra Brawn, and the two were expecting their first child together at the time.

But some fans tried to set the record straight, saying that Arnett and Poehler were likely only together at the time to co-parent their two children, Archie and Abel, especially with home quarantine mandates in effect.
