Ali Wong and Bill Hader are no longer a couple, News Of Los Angeles confirms, closing the curtain on a relationship that began with late-night texts and European flower deliveries.
The Breakup
A source close to the former couple says the decision came down to logistics: “It was too difficult to make the relationship work with Ali’s upcoming stand-up tour and Bill’s various film and TV projects this year.” Both stars are now “focusing on their work and kids, while continuing to support and root for each other.”
Despite the romantic split, things remain “very amicable” between the Beef star, 43, and Saturday Night Live alum, 47. The insider adds, “They are very much friends and still in touch.”
Timeline in the Spotlight
The couple’s most recent public appearances together:
- December 2024: Premiere of Peacock’s Laid
- January 2024: 2024 Golden Globes (where Wong won for Beef)
- January 2025: Hader missed the 2025 Golden Globes due to illness; Wong did not thank him in her acceptance speech for best stand-up performance
How It Began
Wong revealed in her October 2024 Netflix special Ali Wong: Single Lady that Hader texted her after learning of her divorce from Justin Hakuta. He secured her number through a mutual friend and wrote that he had harbored a crush on her “forever” before asking her to be his girlfriend. While she traveled in Europe, he sent bouquets of flowers, prompting Wong to tell the audience, “I did fall in love again.”
Key Takeaways
- Wong and Hader first dated briefly in fall 2022, rekindled in April 2023, and have now split again
- The breakup is attributed to conflicting professional schedules and family commitments
- Wong’s divorce from Hakuta was finalized in May 2024
- Both performers continue to co-parent and pursue individual projects
The separation ends a two-year romance that played out across red carpets and stand-up specials, leaving both comics free to focus on their families and upcoming releases.
