Speaking with The Guardian, Will said that his split with Amy was “just brutal, brutal, brutal. I was driving to the set one day and I pulled over to the side of the road and cried for an hour.”

He added that one of the hardest parts of the breakup was dealing with it in the public eye: “People talk about you like they know you and they talk about your relationship as if they know what’s going on,” he said. “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.’”

Will also spoke of his relationship with Amy now, and says he’s grateful for their relationship, and their two children, sons Archie, 13, and Abel, 11.

“It’s been almost 10 years and my kids are so lucky that Amy is their mother,” he says. “I’m so lucky that we’re such a huge part of each other’s lives, even more so than we were five years ago.”

Will became a father of three recently with the birth of his third son, Alexander, whom he shares with partner Alessandra Brawn.
