After eight years of marriage, Ali Wong and her husband Justin Hakuta are divorcing.
Jason Heyman, Ali Wong’s agent, confirmed the divorce to USA TODAY. According to People and Entertainment Tonight, the couple met at a friend’s wedding reception in 2010 and married in 2014. Mari, 6, and Nikki, 4, are Ali Wong and Justin Hakuta’s, daughters.
Ali Wong said she thought Justin Hakuta, the son of game show host Ken Hakuta, was husband-material right away in her 2016 Netflix special “Baby Cobra.”
“The first thing I heard about him was that he was a Harvard Business School student at the time,” she explained. “‘Oh, my God, I’m going to trap his a—,’ I thought. ‘I’m going to catch his a—!’ And I first caught his a— by delaying kissing him until the fifth date, which is a rare move for me. I did it on purpose, though, since I knew he was a good catch.”
They’ll continue to co-parent in a loving manner
Mari, who is six years old, and Nikki, who is five years old, are Wong and Hakuta’s, daughters.
“It’s amicable,” an insider told the publication, “and they’ll continue to co-parent lovingly.”
When he was a student at Harvard Business School in 2010, the “Always Be My Maybe” actor, 39, first met Hakuta, also 39, at a friend’s wedding reception.
Justin Hakuta, the son of Japanese-American scientist and TV celebrity Ken Hakuta, commonly known as Dr. Fad, is a successful entrepreneur who previously worked as a vice president of GoodRx, a multimillion-dollar technology firm.
Ali Wong and Justin Hakuta, who was previously the vice president of GoodRX, married in a ceremony in San Francisco in 2014. She later disclosed in her memoir that she signed a prenuptial agreement before marrying, which prompted her to start her own business.
Ali Wong remarked that her father often complimented ‘the talent of dread.’ “And that prenup terrified the living daylights out of me.” Finally, being compelled to sign that prenuptial agreement was one of the best things that could have occurred to me and my profession.”
