Though the 'Arrested Development' actor is a master at bringing out the humor on-screen, his divorce from co-star Amy Poehler brought him to tears.
Arnett remarked,"It is crazy to me how much my whole life has shifted in five years in such a dramatic way. Isn't that wild?""Yeah, you get on with it," he said."It's been almost 10 years and my kids are so lucky that Amy is their mother 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."
The 52-year-old actor is now a new father after welcoming Alexander, known as Denny, 1, with his girlfriend Alessandra Brawn during the pandemic, he told The Guardian. Balancing fatherhood between his two older children and a newborn made him realize:"Oh my god. I'm in this for A WHILE," he said in the interview.
Ultimately, Arnett thinks divorce can be more emotionally difficult when the relationship is in the public eye. As he recalled,"This one journalist wrote: 'I'm Team Amy.' I'm like: 'You're a grown person. What are you talking about? This is a breakup. This is a family. This isn't some game.'" For her part, Poehler has said that the breakup was"too sad" and"too personal" to discuss in detail, according toShe wrote at the time,"When you are a person going through a divorce you feel incredibly alone, yet you are constantly reminded by society of how frequently divorce happens and how common it has become. You aren't allowed to feel special, but no one knows the specific ways you are in pain.
