ALI Wong and her husband, Justin Hakuta, are getting a divorce as the comedian’s rep confirmed the news.
The couple were married for eight years after first meeting at a friend’s wedding reception 12 years ago.
“It’s amicable and they will continue to co-parent lovingly,” a source told People of the now former partners.
Ali, 39, had been quite open about her marriage in the past, revealing she was jealous of single people even while married.
In her 2022 Netflix stand-up special Don Wong, the actress made her thoughts on singlehood very clear.
She said while on stage: “Only other married people with kids can empathize with the deep envy people I feel towards you single people.
“You don’t know how free you are. You can eat an edible at 2 p.m., go to the aquarium, and watch the jellyfish go back and forth.”
She added: “You single people, you don’t know what it’s like to eat a cold quesadilla that your toddler threw on the floor, because it’s easier to put it in your mouth than travel to the trash, while you repeat to yourself over and over, that child abuse is illegal!”
Ali and Justin, 39, share two kids: daughters Mari and Nikki.
During the same special, the Always Be My Maybe star also revealed her thoughts on cheating on your significant other.

She said: “People don’t like it when women cheat, you know, and they’ll really turn on because they feel betrayed, especially if you’re a mom.
“It’s too contrary to your wholesome, loving image. And that’s why I’m trying to let all of you know now — that I’m a real piece of s**t…”
The star added: “I want you to really listen to me and understand this and believe me, so that you’re not shocked or surprised, so that you don’t abandon me when you see the video of my face getting firehosed by Michael B. Jordan while I chant ‘Wakanda Forever!’”
