Love on the Red Carpet: Amy Poehler and Joel Lovell Shine Together at the 2025 Oscars
Well, well, well, look who decided to make their relationship Instagram-official on the grandest stage of them all! Amy Poehler, the queen of comedy known for her iconic roles in “Parks & Recreation” and “Saturday Night Live,” stepped out with her new boyfriend, Joel Lovell, at the 2025 Oscars. The couple made quite the entrance on March 2 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, holding hands and looking effortlessly chic. Poehler, 53, donned a sophisticated strapless black mermaid gown, while Lovell, a former New York Times editor, complemented her perfectly in a classic black tuxedo.
The duo posed for the cameras, and let’s be real: they were serving some serious couple goals. Lovell was spotted with his hand on Poehler’s waist, leaning in closely, which is just too cute for words. They were first linked back in October 2024 when PEOPLE reported on their budding romance, revealing that they began dating that summer. Poehler, who shares two sons, Archie and Abel, with ex-husband Will Arnett, seems to be thriving in this new chapter of her life.
Lovell, who has transitioned from journalism to podcasting, currently serves as executive editor at Pineapple Street Studios, which is interestingly linked to Audacy, the same company Poehler is collaborating with for her upcoming scripted comedy podcast, “Say More with Dr. Sheila.” Talk about a power couple in the podcasting world! She also teased her interview-based podcast “Good Hang with Amy Poehler” on the Today show, set to be produced by Spotify’s The Ringer.
On the Oscars red carpet, Poehler and Lovell were in good company, mingling among other celebrity couples like Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, and Kieran Culkin and Jazz Charton. Hosted by Conan O’Brien, the 97th Academy Awards was a star-studded event filled with glitz, glamour, and, of course, plenty of memorable moments. It looks like Poehler is not just winning at life but also at love!
