Amy Poehler seen on RARE outing with new boyfriend Joel Lovell while grocery shopping in LA
As a dedicated follower of celebrity news and someone who appreciates a good love story, I must say, it’s heartening to see Amy Poehler finding happiness again. Her journey through life, from her successful stint on Saturday Night Live, to creating iconic characters like Leslie Knope in Parks and Recreation, and voicing Joy in Inside Out, has been a testament to her talent and resilience.
Amy Poehler and her recent beau, Joel Lovell, appeared lovestruck as they departed a Los Angeles market, hand in hand during an uncommon public appearance.
It appears that the ex-deputy editor of The New York Times and a well-known alumnus from Saturday Night Live, aged 53, have been romantically linked this past summer.
The outing to Ralph’s is one of the few times the new couple have been spotted together publicly.
The Parks and Recreation star wore a denim shirt with brown pants and a black jacket.
Lovell stood tall with a lean, athletic build while wearing a navy blue long-sleeved Henley shirt and black denim pants, dwarfing Amy beside him.
Actress famous for her role in Mean Girls was previously wedded to Will Arnett from 2003 until 2016. Their union resulted in two boys, Archie (aged 16) and Abel (aged 14).
It’s possible that Amy and Joel could have encountered each other due to their shared affiliation with the Philadelphia-based podcast production firm, Audacy, where Joel’s company, Pineapple Street Studios, is also associated.
Audacy is the same company behind Poehler’s 2023 scripted comedy podcast, Say More with Dr? Sheila.
Lovell, known for his work on Magnificent Jerk, Missing Richard Simmons, and Serial, has three daughters: Addie Lovell at the age of 23, Tess Lovell who is 21, and 17-year-old Julia Lovell.
After her marriage to Arnett, Amy dated comedian Nick Kroll for three years.
Earlier this year, Amy told a very relatable story about a fun night out in Sydney, Australia.
In May, I embarked on a journey to Australia, where I had the incredible opportunity to spend a memorable evening in Sydney alongside the renowned Aussie country music artist, Jade Hurley. Needless to say, we danced the night away, creating an unforgettable experience together.
During a conversation with Pedestrian, the actor from Parks and Recreation shared that the evening began in a straightforward manner.
She commented, “I attended his performance where he played both covers and originals, and I must say, he was simply fantastic as a musician.



Last time, we were all so tipsy that we forgot our wallets at the bar – it was such a fantastic night! And we’re hoping for another occasion like that tonight… isn’t that relatable?” She concluded with a laugh.
On The Jess Rowe Big Talk Show podcast, Amy expressed her thoughts by saying, ‘Australia excels at happiness. Let me tell you.’
She noted that they express joy effectively as they are fascinated by significant events, enjoy spending time outdoors, and consequently, they tend to have high levels of endorphins (the ‘happy hormones’).
The comedian, who voices the character Joy in Inside Out 2, divulged her perception of the emotion.
Joy… it can be experienced only when one is truly present in the current situation. If our minds wander into the future or dwell on the past, we lose touch with this joyful state,” she clarified to Jessica Rowe.
