After seven years of marriage and two children, Comedian Ali Wong and her husband, former GoodRx VP Justin Hakuta’s marriage has crashed.
The split was confirmed by the American comedian on Tuesday April 18, through her rep to People, whose source said ‘it’s amicable and they will continue to co-parent lovingly.’
Ali and the 39-year-old tech entrepreneur signed a prenup, and they’ll have to figure out custody arrangements for their six-year-old daughter Mari and four-year-old daughter Nikki.
The comedian and actress, 39, first met Hakuta, 39, at a friend’s wedding reception in 2010 and immediately hit it off.
During her 2016 Netflix stand-up special Baby Cobra, Wong joked about how she “trapped” her husband.
“The first thing I learned about him was that, at the time, he was attending Harvard Business School,” she shared. ” And I was like, ‘Oh, my God, I’m gonna trap his a–. Going to trap his a–!’ And I trapped his a– initially by not kissing him until the fifth date, which is a very unusual move on my part. But I did it on purpose because I knew that he was a catch.”
After a few years of dating, the couple wed in San Franciso on November 27, 2014. The former couple later welcomed two daughters, Mari in 2015 and Nikki in 2017.
