Ali Wong and Bill Hader first began dating in December 2022, as per Page Six. However, the two ended things after dating "very briefly" only to allegedly rekindle their romance in April 2023.

During an appearance on the latest episode of Sirius XM's Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend podcast, Bill Hader recalled the California Pacific Palisades that broke out on January 7. Hader mentioned that he had been filming a Volkswagen commercial with former Saturday Night Live costar Kristen Wiig when the fire broke out, and he was "speechless" after seeing his community get destroyed.

Hader mentioned that he and his girlfriend, Ali Wong, went shopping on the day the podcast was filmed, and Wong was very supportive while helping him pick a new wardrobe while his was destroyed in the fire.

"It's a funny thing that Ali and I went today to just, literally, I had to shop for clothes. And it was very sweet. She was like, 'Let's go get you some jeans."

Hader mentioned that Wong's act meant a lot to him,

"It was very sweet. It meant a lot to me. Because I'm just wearing Uniqlp sweats and my kids are like, 'You're living in your pajamas.' They're very worried. And I told her about that, and she was like, 'Well, let me take you out to get some clothes."

On January 15, while speaking to KTLA 5, the actor confirmed that his L.A. home survived the fires.
