Abel Arnett is one of Amy Poehler’s two children- and it seems he’s got used to growing up in the limelight.
While his mom and dad have built hugely successful Hollywood careers, Abel has been busy spending time with his brother Archie looking adorable at all times.
Let’s get to know A-list family…
Abel Arnett
Abel Arnett is now eleven years old, and Amy’s youngest son.
Her eldest Archie was born in 2008, and Abel arrived just two years later. He shares his middle name with his paternal grandfather.
Their dad is Will Arnett, who has moved in the same comedy circles as Amy since the 1990s.

Amy Poehler doesn’t share photos of her children online, but she’s been on hand with some stellar parenting advice over the years!
The actress has given parents some helpful starting points:
“Always remember your kid’s name. Always remember where you put your kid.
Don’t let your kid drive until their feet can reach the pedals. Use the right size diapers… for yourself. And, when in doubt, make funny faces.”
And she’s given some equally fantastic comments about her sons…
“I watch their little fat feet and their shiny cheeks as they jump into the backseat of the car. These boys, they are delicious. I swear, if I could eat my children, I would.
I love my boys so much I fear my heart will explode. I wonder if this love will crack open my chest and split me in half. It is scary, this love.”

While Amy began to build on her success in Mean Girls with long-time friend Tina Fey, Will was getting stuck into Up All Night and 30 Rock. But this didn’t stop the couple from taking on joint projects too…
Both Amy Poehler and Will Arnett were some of the high-status alumni on Saturday Night Live, and they even appeared as brother and sister skating duo the Van Waldenbergs in Blades of Glory.

Divorce
While Amy and Will Arnett looked the picture of happiness, things weren’t set to last between the Hollywood power couple.
The pair ended up filing for divorce after nine years of marriage.
This was reportedly because their romance had finally “fizzled out”.
The couple, who ended their marriage in 2012, were granted a dissolution of marriage by the Superior Court of California in 2016.

A source told Radar Online:
“They drifted apart, like a lot of couples do, but there’s no malice in the split, nor was anyone else involved.
Everyone used to think that because Amy and Will are both comedians their relationship was all fun. However, the laughter stopped a long time ago.”
While the spark had gone for the comedy couple, they both have the utmost respect for the other, and continue to co-parent both Archie and Abel Arnett.
But Amy has found things hard, and opened up about her divorce from Will.
“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.”
