Despite the end of their marriage, Ali Wong and Justin Hakuta said they remained “best friends.” That didn’t change even when their separation turned into a divorce.
In December 2023, Wong filed for divorce from her then-husband.
She cited “irreconcilable differences.” Hakuta’s own lawsuit sought joint custody of their two children.
By all accounts, the divorce remained amicable. It doesn’t necessarily mean there weren’t strong feelings involved, just that they care more about each other and their children.

On May 21, 2024, a Los Angeles County court finalized the divorce of Ali Wong and Justin Hakuta.
Remarkably, this comes just over two years after the two announced their split.
Initially, the paperwork did not detail custody arrangements and more. However, the paperwork did indicate plans to resolve those details through mediation — which is generally a more amicable process than asking the family court to decide.
