Alessandra Brawn

Brawn was married to restaurateur Jon Neidich from 2014 until their divorce in 2018. They share a son named Nash.

Brawn and Will Arnett began dating in 2019 and welcomed their son, Alexander “Denny” Denison, on May 27, 2020. Their relationship ended in late 2024, and they remain committed co-parents to Denny.

Brawn studied communications at Emerson College from 2007 to 2009 and also attended Columbia College from 2005 to 2007. After college, she worked as an assistant photo editor at Artforum International Magazine until 2010.

She later became director of marketing and public relations at the New York jewelry company Sidney Garber, then worked as a marketing and public relations manager for the luxury lingerie and lifestyle brand Kiki de Montparnasse. Brawn subsequently became CEO and co-owner of Chapel, a clothing brand specializing in vintage band T-shirts, and remained involved with the company until leaving in 2017.

In a 2016 interview with Vogue, Brawn said she expected people wearing a band T-shirt to know at least three or four songs by the band. She also discussed how celebrities including Rihanna styled Chapel’s shirts in different ways.

Brawn and Arnett were first linked in March 2019 after they were photographed holding hands during a walk in Venice, California. They made their public debut as a couple at the 2019 Creative Arts Emmys in Los Angeles.

Brawn later appeared briefly in the third episode of Arnett’s HBO docuseries Smartless: On the Road. The episode followed Arnett and his podcast co-hosts Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes during their national tour, including a New York City show that Brawn attended.
