Did you see this coming? Two celebrity couples recently called it quits. Amy Poehler and Will Arnett announced their divorce earlier this week, while reports of Selma Blair splitting with her boyfriend Jason Bleick have also started to surface. Celebrities are people, too. Now, what about their kids?
We had just written about Amy and her family not too long ago, we’re sad to hear the breakup news. Poehler and Arnett married in 2003. It was Amy’s first marriage, but Will’s second after already divorcing Penelope Ann Miller in 1995. The couple has two children together, Archie and Abel, ages 3 and 2 respectively. Not many details explaining their separation have surfaced, but it should be safe to say both Poehler and Arnett will have to stay on good terms for the sake of their children. With both parents as entertainers, and funny ones at that, they will probably continue to run in the same circle and see one another often.
Blair and her now rumored ex-boyfriend Bleick are also parents—Selma gave birth to their son Arthur in July of 2011. She posted this adorable photo not long after. Though Blair and Bleick weren’t married, this is Selma’s biggest break up since her 2006 divorce to Ahmet Zappa. Blair started dating her recently ex-boyfriend in 2010. Spokespeople for either parent have yet to confirm their split, but the Internet is swarming with rumors that the couple fought frequently. Sometimes parting ways is the only way for things to cool off! Selma is reportedly living in an L.A. rental with baby Arthur.
We wish the best for both parties! Celebrity breakups, unfortunately, are nothing new. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were probably the biggest celeb split in recent months, but they’re working together to remain amicable for their daughter Suri. Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson are doing the same, with both of Bronx’s parents taking him for a haircut, despite them both already being in new relationships!
Best of luck to both families.
