Will Arnett has his ex-wife Amy Poehler’s full support on his therapy journey.

The “Arrested Development” star, 54, revealed on Monday’s episode of his “SmartLess” podcast that he just started therapy and told Poehler, 52, about it.

“The best part is I told Poehler yesterday and she’s like, ‘Oh, I’m so glad.’ I’m like, ‘What do you mean you’re so glad?’ ” Arnett said with a laugh.

“She’s like, ’20 years too late,’” joked co-host Sean Hayes.

Arnett and Poehler wed in 2003 and announced their separation nine years later. They have two sons: Archie, 15, and Abel, 14.

“I just started therapy. This is true,” Arnett shared on the podcast with co-hosts Hayes and Jason Bateman and guest Rashida Jones.

“I’m going to get real for a second. I f–king don’t know anything. This is the most scared I’ve been in my life is right now.”

Arnett went on, “I can’t even believe I’m talking about this. I had heavy therapy this morning and I can’t believe it.”

Bateman, 55, asked the “BoJack Horseman” voice actor if he’s scared because he’s “admitting that you might not know as much as you’re pretending to know.”

“Yep, that’s the tip of it,” Arnett replied.

Hayes, 54, and Jones, 48, both commended Arnett for getting into therapy and embracing the process.

“I had to put eye drops in just so that my eyes were white because I just was like … It was rough,” Arnett admitted to the others.

“I had a really rough morning. It’s been a tough couple weeks,” he added.

In 2022, Arnett revealed that he broke down in tears following his separation from Poehler, which happened while he was filming Season 4 of “Arrested Development.”

“Just brutal, brutal, brutal,” the actor said in an interview with the Guardian. “I was driving to the set one day and I pulled over to the side of the road and cried for an hour.” 

“People talk about you like they know you and they talk about your relationship as if they know what’s going on,” Arnett added in regards to the public’s reaction to the breakup.

He continued, “So imagine how weird that is. It’s brutal with any relationship, and we have kids. And without getting into specifics, you then see stuff online, like, this one journalist wrote: ‘I’m Team Amy.’ I’m like: ‘You’re a grown person. What are you talking about? This is a breakup. This is a family. This isn’t some game.’”

Poehler, for her part, opened up about the pair’s divorce in her 2014 memoir “Yes Please.”

“I don’t want to talk about my divorce because it is too sad and too personal. I also don’t like people knowing my s–t,” she wrote.

“I will say a few things. I am proud of how my ex-husband, Will, and I have been taking care of our children; I am beyond grateful he is their father; and I don’t think a ten-year marriage constitutes failure,” Poehler added. “That being said, getting a divorce really sucks.”
