Will Arnett and Amy Poehler’s Friendship Rivalry Raises Eyebrows

LOS ANGELES, CA — Will Arnett and Amy Poehler, who divorced in 2016, continue to navigate a tense friendship as they compete over podcasting popularity. A source informed the National Enquirer that their Hollywood friends are caught in the middle.

Despite being years removed from their marriage, the source explained, “It’s still one of those situations where their Hollywood pals have to pick sides.” This rivalry has intensified as Poehler launched her successful podcast, “Good Hang,” while Arnett’s podcast, “Smartless,” has made him tens of millions.

The source continued, “If you’re a celebrity who knows any of these people personally, you are compelled to pick a side if you’re going to guest on either one of those shows.” This positioning makes it awkward for clients like Bradley Cooper and Aubrey Plaza, who want to promote their own projects.

“You just wish that Will and Amy could drop the decade-old baggage and focus on lifting each other up,” the source lamented, suggesting that their competitive relationship is affecting their mutual friends.

Poehler, 54, and Arnett, 55, married in 2003 and share two sons, Archie and Abel. Their representatives confirmed their split in 2012, two years before their divorce was finalized.
