Inside Will Arnett And Amy Poehler's Failed Relationship

Publish date: 2024-05-04

As we previously noted, there wasn't much scandal associated with Amy Poehler and Will Arnett's divorce. Years later, however, Arnett told The Hollywood Reporter that he relapsed into alcohol use after years of sobriety in 2012 — the same year he and Poehler separated. Quoting that interview, Us Weekly then made the following summation: "Not surprisingly, that time perfectly correlates with the end of his marriage."

Of course, neither Arnett nor Poehler has ever indicated that addiction caused a rift in their marriage. In fact, both have been candid about their prior experimentation before they got hitched, and Poehler was explicit about how being a parent basically makes that lifestyle impossible. In her memoir,Yes  Please (via Radar Online), Poehler revealed that she experimented with cocaine and ecstasy back in the day. She also opened up about her occasional marijuana usage. But she noted, "How do you explain to a four and six-year-old that you can't play Rescue Bots because you have to spend all day in bed eating Cape Cod potato chips and watching The Bicycle Thief?" Translation: Hangovers don't work with kids around.

Our verdict on this one? Although they both opened up to the tabloids about past and present drug and alcohol use, there is no clear evidence that it played a part in their split.
