Inside Ali Wong and Justin Hakuta’s relationship that lasted almost a decade
Before falling for Barry star Bill Hader, Ali Wong had her own meet-cute with entrepreneur Justin Hakuta. The artist met him at a friend’s wedding reception in 2010. After a few of years of dating, the celebrity couple said “I do” on November 27, 2014.
After eight years of marital bliss, the pair announced their split in 2022. A source close to the duo offered: “It’s amicable and they will continue to co-parent lovingly,” People reported.
Ali and Justin share two beautiful daughters, Mari, born in 2015, and Nikki, born in 2017. The comedian once talked about bringing her kids to her comedy tours, saying it was a “beautiful” experience.
“Taking kids on the road is so beautiful. It’s the opposite of film and television where I’m just gone all day,” she explained.
“It’s a really fun family adventure because basically at night I’m performing, and then during the day, we go on adventures to the children’s museum or the gardens or we see family friends. It’s really cool that they’ve seen so much of America.”
