Ten years later, Will Arnett is opening up about his breakup from ex-wife Amy Poehler.
As you may know, the beloved couple tied the knot in 2003 and had two sons together: Archie, now 13, and Abel, now 11. After nine years of marriage they announced their separation in 2012 — right when Arnett was filming the fourth season of Arrested Development.
Since the acclaimed sitcom was prematurely canceled by Fox in 2006, one would think Will should have been excited to reprise his role as Gob Bluth. But in an interview with The Guardian, the 51-year-old admitted it was an “excruciating” time for him because of his divorce.

He recalled:
Ugh, breakups are the worst!
While the circumstances certainly made starring in an ensemble comedy difficult for the actor, he credited Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz for helping make his pain something “hilarious and cathartic” for the series.
Aside from having to act through the pain, Will had to deal with the public’s cavalier reactions to his very personal divorce. He mused:
Though it hurt for a while, Arnett admitted that “you get on with it” over time. It sounds like he and Amy have gotten on with it, too, and are on even better terms than they were five years ago as they continue to co-parent their children.
Will explained:
For her part, the SNL alum opened up about the pair’s divorce in her 2014 memoir, Yes Please. She wrote:
These days, Arnett has a lot to be happy about: in 2020, he welcomed his son, Alexander Denison, with girlfriend Alessandra Brawn, and currently stars on the Netflix series Murderville.
