Comedian Ali Wong and Justin Hakuta's Relationship Timeline (Us Weekly)

Ali Wong and Justin Hakuta announced their plans to divorce in April 2022 after eight years of marriage — relive their relationship journey.

We talk a lot about the transitions that we go through as a couple. Wong’s rep confirmed the news to People in April 2022. So we decided that he’s not going to come to any more events — it’s just not how he wants to spend his time. I’m very open about the fact that we go to therapy. I think my husband’s the real breadwinner because he won a bread machine. 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.
