Comedian and actress Amy Poehler is reportedly dating writer and podcast producer Joel Lovell, according to recent reports. Poehler, who rose to fame on ‘Saturday Night Live’ and ‘Parks and Recreation*, has been “enjoying spending time with” Lovell since earlier this summer, sources told *People* magazine.
Who is Joel Lovell?
Joel Lovell, a former editor at ‘The New York Times Magazine’, is a highly respected figure in the literary world. Currently, he works at Pineapple Street, a podcast production company under the umbrella of Audacy. This connection ties directly into Poehler’s podcasting endeavors. Her comedy podcast, ‘Say More with Dr. Sheila’, was produced in collaboration with Audacy and was a major hit, topping the Apple Podcasts comedy chart. The pair reportedly grew closer through their shared involvement in the podcasting world.
Amy Poehler’s dating history
This is Poehler’s first high-profile romance since dating lawyer Benjamin Graf. Before that, she had relationships with comedian Nick Kroll and actor John Stamos. Poehler was previously married to actor Will Arnett, with whom she shares two teenage sons, Archibald (15) and Abel (14). The couple divorced amicably in 2016 after nine years of marriage, but they continue to co-parent their children.
Joel Lovell’s personal life
Lovell, a father to three daughters—Addie, 23, Tess, 21, and Julia, 17—has kept a relatively low profile despite his impressive career in journalism and podcast production. His bond with Poehler, who is based in Los Angeles but often travels to New York, is said to have grown over the past few months, with the two enjoying a close relationship.
On October 10, Poehler is set to receive the Robin Williams Legacy of Laughter Award during Bring Change to Mind’s 12th annual Revels & Revelations fundraiser in California, and there is speculation that Lovell could accompany her to the event.
