And as they encouraged viewers to continue to prevent the spread of COVID-19, people began wondering if Poehler was self-isolating in the same house as the Canadian actor during the coronavirus pandemic. Some even speculated about whether or not the comedians have gotten back together.
Are Amy Poehler and Will Arnett back together? They wouldn’t be quarantined together if they weren’t... would they???

I was so confused to see Amy Poehler on the list of people who were going to appear on #StrongerTogether because... she ain’t Canadian.
BUT SHE APPEARED WITH WILL ARNETT SO DOES THIS MEAN THEY’RE BACK TOGETHER?
Where are the answers? #TousEnsemble

And just like that, millions of Canadians started wondering about the relationship status of Will Arnett and Amy Poehler!
— Dan Hershfield (@DanHershfield) April 26, 2020
However, Arnett has reportedly been dating Alessandra Brawn, the 33-year-old former CEO of clothing brand Chapel, since 2019. In February, Us Weekly confirmed that the couple is expecting their first child.
Brawn didn't appear in the television special and isn't confirmed to be self-isolating in the same house as Arnett.
After factoring in the news that Brawn is pregnant, people pointed out that the exes are likely together to co-parent their kids rather than rekindle their romance.

As much as I ❤️ seeing Will Arnett and Amy Pohler together again... I’m really hoping that this is just a good example of co-parenting their 2 kids, because his girlfriend is pregnant with his kid right now. #StrongerTogether pic.twitter.com/uMRWncUiUt

Will Arnett & Amy Poehler social distancing together. They've got two kids and what better way for parents to spend quality time with their kids (no matter their marital status).

And for some fans, it was uplifting to see the comedians, who appeared together on episodes of "Parks and Recreation" and "Arrested Development," on the same screen once again.

Poehler, who briefly dated Nick Kroll after her breakup with Arnett, previously opened up about the couple's divorce in her 2014 memoir "Yes Please."
"I am proud of how my ex-husband Will and I have been taking care of our children," she writes, adding, "I am beyond grateful he is their father, and I don't think a 10-year marriage constitutes failure. That being said, getting a divorce really sucks."
