Ali Wong: Single Lady, a Netflix special, highlights Wong's adventures of finding love again in her '40s. After her divorce from Justin Hakuta in 2022, Wong opened up about her relationship with Bill Hader. She's still on good terms with her ex-husband and has freely shared her journey of rediscovering love.
In her Netflix special, Wong even mentioned her boyfriend, Bill Hader, and their relationship making headlines. She talked about her highly publicized divorce from Justin Hakuta and her attempts to get back into the dating scene and then finally meeting Hader through mutual acquaintances.
"I did fall in love again” she added “Some of you might know who the guy is. And it just so happens to be the man who sent me all of those flowers in Europe."
Wong recalls meeting someone at dinner parties, getting numbers with the help of a friend, and then discovering that her now-boyfriend Bill Hader made the first contact.
When did Ali Wong start dating her current boyfriend?
Ali Wong and Bill Hader have reportedly been dating since April 2022. They met in the autumn of 2022 and got to know each other shortly afterward. Wong's relationship with Hader began shortly after she split from her ex-husband, Justin Hakuta, in 2022. Wong and Hakuta were married for eight years.
According to Wong, she initially felt embarrassed and vulnerable when she read the media coverage of her divorce, but it also created some unwanted opportunities for her. Talking to Rolling Stone, she said,
“I never thought I would have this much fun at this stage in my life. Divorce is so fun,”
Ali Wong laughs at the publicity she got from her divorce. She jokingly says that she should have been enough of a watermark for men wanting to date her to know she was up for it. One of those men was Bill Hader, with whom Wong had long carried a torch.
Wong lets the audience in on a secret: she's aware of all the published details of her personal life, but she jokes about it on her comedy show. She talks about dating after her divorce from her ex-husband and how hard it is to find someone talented, funny, and good enough to meet the kids.
Wong met Bill Hader at social events but did not know he was interested in her until a friend gave her his number. Hader quickly told her how he felt after learning of her divorce. In her Netflix special, Wong said Hader called her and told her,
"I have had a crush on you forever, and I want you to be my girlfriend."
