BREAKING: Will Arnett's Sizzling Romance with 51-Year-Old Supermodel Carolyn Murphy Exposed!

In a shocking turn of events, comedy king Will Arnett has been spotted getting cozy with his new girlfriend, supermodel Carolyn Murphy, 51, in the Big Apple. The two were inseparable at the Jenni Kayne Spring Summer 2026 Collection Presentation in Soho, New York City, on Friday, leaving fans and friends alike wondering if they're more than just friends.

This development comes after Arnett's highly publicized split from his long-time girlfriend Alessandra Brawn, who is now allegedly hooking up with Emily Ratajkowski's ex Sebastian Bear-McClard, 44. The comedian, 55, was said to have quietly ended things with Brawn late last year, but sources close to the couple claim they remain committed co-parents to their five-year-old son Denny.

Insiders revealed that Arnett and Murphy seemed like a power couple during a visit to Sean Hayes' West End show Good Night Oscar last month. In a photo posted by Hayes, Arnett wrapped his arm around Murphy's shoulders as she rested her hand on his chest, sparking rumors of a budding romance. "Another recent surprise visit from one of the greats. Love you, Willie," Hayes captioned the post.

Murphy's presence at the event raised eyebrows among fans, with some speculating that they may be more than just friends. One fan commented, "Are Carolyn and Will an item?! If so…." accompanied by two fire emojis. Another wrote, "And with the beautiful Carolyn Murphy!"

But what do we know about this new romance? The 51-year-old supermodel is no stranger to high-profile relationships. She was previously married to Jake Schroeder from 1999 to 2002 and has a daughter, Dylan Blue, born in 2000.

Arnett's love life has been making headlines for years. Before Brawn, he dated interior designer Elizabeth Law, then 30, whom he was involved with until at least March 2019 when they were spotted passionately kissing out in Los Angeles.

In a shocking twist, Arnett's split from Brawn was revealed to have occurred earlier this year. The couple had largely kept their relationship under wraps, but did make an appearance together at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in 2024.

But what about his past romance with fellow sitcom star Amy Poehler? The two were married for nine years before separating in 2012 and finalizing their divorce in 2016. Arnett has been candid about the emotional difficulties of their breakup, describing it as "brutal, brutal, brutal." In an interview with The Guardian, he shared that he even broke down in tears while driving to work one day.

Poehler, on the other hand, prefers to maintain a degree of privacy when it comes to her personal life. In her memoir Yes, Please, published in 2014, she wrote, "I don't want to talk about my divorce because it is too sad and too personal." She added that she also doesn't like people knowing her business, saying, "I also don't like people knowing my s**t."

TheScholarlyNote.com has reached out to representatives for Arnett, Murphy, as well as Brawn via Instagram for comment but did not immediately hear back.

As the comedy world continues to buzz with excitement over Arnett's new romance, fans can't help but wonder: what's next for this Hollywood heartthrob? Will he and Murphy make their relationship public, or will they keep it under wraps like his previous high-profile romances?
