Back in the fall of 2022, rumors began to circulate stating that Bill Hader was Ali Wong‘s boyfriend. However, their romance was short-lived, and they remained friends. But now it seems like they have rekindled their past relationship. Here’s everything you need to know about their romantic history.
Did Ali Wong date Bill Hader?
Stand-up comedian Ali Wong separated from her former husband Justin Hakuta in April 2022, after being with him for almost 10 years. The reason for divorce was stated as “irreconcilable differences.” By December of the same year, rumors emerged about her dating Bill Hader for a brief period. Recently, Hader mentioned an anonymous girlfriend in an interview with Collider, which was later confirmed to be Wong.
Their relationship was made official when the duo was spotted several times displaying PDA during Wong’s birthday hike in Los Angeles and at The Golden Globes. Following this, they have continued to make appearances together at the Emmys and the Critics Choice Awards too. The Hollywood Reporter posted their sweet kiss on X (formerly Twitter) after Wong received her award.
What did Ali Wong reveal during her stand-up comedy?
Ali Wong and Bill Hader made their relationship official at her sold-out Netflix is a Joke Fest show. During her comedy show, she talked about her dating experiences and her past relationship with her ex-husband. Wong recalls the time when a guy whom she crossed paths with at a dinner party called her and asked her to be his girlfriend, as he had a long-time crush on her.
However, she rejected him saying that she wanted to make the most of the dating app she paid for. This was reportedly Hader and he made multiple romantic gestures like sending flowers to her hotel rooms during her overall trip.
Additionally, she jokingly details how a man who gives more than the bare minimum is perceived. “When a fellow man commits any act of kindness, any romantic gesture, it must be a symptom of an undiagnosed mental illness,” she explained.
Ahead of commencing her comedy show, Wong also asked the audience to guess her boyfriend, and Hader came up on the stage with a flower and planted a kiss on her cheek. He also reportedly yelled, “Ali Wong is off the market.”
