Arnett's Recent Split and Co-Parenting
Prior to his relationship with Murphy, Will Arnett had been in a five-year relationship with Alessandra Brawn. The couple quietly split in late 2024 and share a son, Alexander "Denny" Denison. A source confirmed that Arnett and Brawn "remain committed co-parents." Their last public appearance was in September 2024.
Public Appearances and Family Life
One of Arnett and Murphy's first public appearances together was at Sean Hayes' play, Good Night, Oscar, on London's West End late last month. A photo shared by Hayes on Instagram featured the couple backstage alongside him and his husband, Scott Icenogle. Hayes captioned the photo with, "Another recent surprise visit from one of the greats. Love you, Willie. ❤️"
Murphy, a longtime spokesmodel and brand ambassador for Estée Lauder, has graced the cover of Vogue more than 70 times. She has a 24-year-old son, Dylan Blue, and was previously married to Jake Schroeder from 1999 to 2002.
In addition to his son with Brawn, Arnett shares sons Archie, 16, and Abel, 15, with his ex-wife, comedian and actress Amy Poehler.
Arnett on Co-Parenting with Amy Poehler
While Arnett is often private about his romantic relationships, he has spoken openly about his love for being a dad and his positive co-parenting relationship with Amy Poehler, 53. On an April episode of the SmartLess podcast, which he co-hosts with Hayes and Jason Bateman, he said he is proud of their relationship with Poehler. He acknowledged that it took time to get to where they are now.
“I’m really, really lucky to have her as a partner in this way. There aren’t many people I speak to more than I speak to her, which is weird — you know what I mean? But it’s great,” Arnett said of Poehler. “She is somebody that I still run a lot of stuff by."
He continued, "She’s the person I go to, like, ‘Hey, I’m thinking about doing this.’ Whether it’s life or work, I really seek her counsel because it’s important to me — because I trust her. She’s awesome.”
Arnett's Career Momentum
Professionally, Arnett maintains a busy schedule. His film, Is This Thing On?, directed by Bradley Cooper, is set to have its world premiere at the New York Film Festival on October 10, 2025, and will open in theatres on December 19, 2025. He continues to co-host the SmartLess podcast, balancing public commitments with family responsibilities. Jason Bateman praised Arnett’s parenting on HBO’s Smartless: On the Road.
