Ali Wong and her husband, Justin Hakuta, are divorcing following eight years of marriage and having two children, daughters Mari and Nikki, together. "It's amicable and they will continue to co-parent lovingly," a source told People.
Wong has previously discussed the fact that she and Hakuta met before she made it big, and what that could mean if the two split up. "He was smart enough to choose me, to invest in me when I was 20 pounds heavier, had chronic acne, and no money," Wong said in her recent Netflix special, per NBC News. "He bought low, and if we get divorced, he's gonna sell high."
She has also revealed that the couple signed a prenup before they got married, at his family's insistence. In fact, Wong explained in her memoir, "Dear Girls: Intimate Tales Untold Secrets and Advice for Living Your Best Life," that the document made her strive to become a successful female comedian. "My father always praised 'the gift of fear,'" she wrote. "And that prenup scared the s— out of me. In the end, being forced to sign that prenup was one of the greatest things that ever happened to me and my career."
Now, Wong's future is open for her to explore as she pleases.
