Is Will Arnett finally ready to dish about his divorce from Amy Poehler, or is he keeping those juicy details locked away in the vault? Well, spoiler alert: he’s DEFINITELY keeping them locked away, and honestly, we’re living for the pettiness of it all.
During a recent episode of the “SmartLess” podcast, longtime bestie Jason Bateman apparently had the audacity—or should we say, the poor judgment—to probe into Will’s personal life regarding his ex-wife Amy. And what did our boy do? He shut. It. DOWN. “I don’t talk about potty stuff,” the 56-year-old deadpanned to listeners on Monday, June 22, serving us absolutely zero crumbs about his marriage. “I don’t pick my teeth.” Translation: Mind your business, Jason!
Now, let’s be real here, folks. This is the kind of energy we LIVE for. While other celebrities are out here writing tell-all memoirs and spilling their guts on every podcast known to mankind, Will Arnett is out here acting like a true professional. He’s not going to sit there and pick apart his relationship with the hilarious SNL legend, and honestly? That’s kind of iconic.
What makes this even more delicious is that Jason Bateman, his FRIEND, tried to get him to open up. Like, buddy, you know how this man operates! Will Arnett has literally built his entire brand on being mysteriously tight-lipped about his personal affairs. He’s been divorced from Amy since 2016, and in all these years, he’s maintained an almost zen-like commitment to keeping his romantic life private. It’s refreshing, really, in an age where celebrities treat their love lives like a Netflix documentary.
Fans on social media have been having a field day with this moment. Some are applauding Will for his restraint and maturity, while others are openly disappointed that we didn’t get some juicy behind-the-scenes gossip. One Twitter user wrote: “Finally, a celebrity who knows how to keep it classy!” Another wasn’t as thrilled: “Come on Will, give us SOMETHING!”
The best part? Amy Poehler has maintained a similarly dignified silence about their split, which is why these two basically set the gold standard for how exes should behave in Hollywood. Revolutionary, we know.
What do you think? A) Will Arnett is absolutely right to keep his private life private, and we respect the maturity. B) Come on, spill the tea! We deserve to know the juicy details!
