In a recent episode of the popular podcast *SmartLess*, Will Arnett opened up about his romantic life, confirming that he is “very happy” in a new relationship. Alongside co-hosts Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes, the actor shared insights on his personal life while maintaining a light-hearted tone.
During the episode, which aired on Monday, 28th September, Arnett was prompted by Bateman to offer an update on both his love life and domestic situation. The conversation took on a humorous note as Bateman remarked that discussions about their personal lives had become a staple of the podcast. To this, Arnett replied, “It’s going really well,” further expressing his contentment by stating, “I’m very happy, very, very happy.”
Listeners learned that Arnett is currently dating Emma Marciano, co-founder of the Los Angeles-based fashion label Mimchik. Moreover, Marciano is the daughter of Maurice Marciano, one of the founders of the Guess clothing brand. Following the podcast episode, representatives for Arnett were approached for further comments on his blossoming relationship.
The light-hearted discussion took a more thoughtful turn when Bateman asked Arnett about his aspirations for the future of his relationship. Arnett responded with a mix of honesty and humour, admitting that he sees it as a bit of a trial. He remarked, “If I f—ing knew what five years… I have learned a little bit. In the last two years especially, to let go of whatever ideas of whatever I think it’s gonna go or it’s gonna happen.”
At 56 years old, Arnett reflected on the lessons he has learned over the years, particularly in the realm of relationships. He mentioned that the past couple of years have been transformative for him, allowing him to focus on what is directly in front of him and to “deal with what’s in front of me.”
He elaborated on his commitment to personal growth, explaining that he has been striving to build a solid foundation for his life. “I surround myself with great people, I’m in great programmes with people. I’ve done some work on myself to try to do it in a way so that whatever does come my way, I handle it hopefully better than I have historically,” he added.
In a lighter moment, Bateman joked, “Prosecution rests,” prompting Arnett to steer the conversation back to the guest of the day. When discussing his relationship history, Arnett mentioned his split from Alessandra Brown in late 2024, noting that they share a six-year-old son named Denny. He was also previously married to actress Amy Poehler from 2003 to 2016, with whom he shares two sons, Archie, aged 17, and Abel, aged 16.
Looking ahead, Arnett and his co-hosts Bateman and Hayes are preparing for an upcoming live show at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on 17th October. Expressing excitement for the event, Arnett described it as a “real pinch-me moment.” He concluded, “Honestly, it all just feels like such a gift. I’m just so grateful that anybody gives us even 30 seconds of their time.”
As the podcast continues to gain popularity, Arnett’s positive take on life and relationships offers a refreshing perspective for listeners, reminding them of the importance of embracing the present and nurturing connections with those around them.
