The ‘Always Be My Maybe’ alum Ali first met Justin Hakuta, a businessman, while attending a mutual friend's wedding. They soon hit it off and started dating each other.
An intimate San Francisco wedding - November 2014
During an appearance back in October 2019 at ‘The Ellen Degeneres’ show, Wong said, “I got married at City Hall because I didn’t want to have a formal wedding because I’m a stand-up comic and I was like, ‘I don’t want to walk down the aisle for 60 seconds while people stare at me in silence.’ That would give me PTSD. So, we just got married at City Hall!”
Parenthood in 2015
The Hollywood couple welcomed their baby girl Mari in November 2015, hardly a year after getting hitched. They became parents to another girl named Nikki in December 2017. Wong shot for her Netflix special ‘Hard Knock Wife’ while being pregnant with their second child.
When Wong was pregnant with Nikki, Justin dropped an adorable picture of her on his Instagram. He captioned it, ‘My love. @aliwong’.
News of a prenup
In her Netflix comedy special ‘Hard Knock Wife’ (2018), Ali Wong revealed they had signed a prenuptial agreement. “No one could have predicted this outcome. So much so, that before we got married, his family made me sign a prenup. It’s true, and now if we get divorced, their son is f–ked. No more sashimi on a Tuesday! No more fancy Japanese toilet bidet where water comes out and Hello Kitty sings the song until your butthole’s fresh and clean. Go back to drinking flat water, bitch!” she joked.
She also added, “It is said that if you earn more in the relationship, then you are the breadwinner. I think my husband’s the real breadwinner because he won a bread machine. Being a woman and the breadwinner is not all that, OK?.”
In December 2019, when the relationship was apparently still going strong, the couple posted a lovely pic on Instagram that showed them eating bowls of Pho late at night.
In May 2020, Justin dropped a sweet mother's day video for Ali. His caption read, “Happy Mother’s Day my love. You are incredible. #trappedherass.”
