The Romantic Pasts Of Bill Hader And Ali Wong
Hader and the 40-year-old actress’ recent reunion may have caught the public’s attention, but the comedic duo has had interesting relationship histories. The It Chapter Two star was previously married to filmmaker Maggie Carey for 11 years before they separated in 2017.

“It could not have been easy on my wife at the time. I was so consumed with work and anxiety. Once our second child was born, I had to leave ‘SNL.’ It was hard with one kid, let alone two. Because I was just never around.”
He later dated his The To Do List costar Rachel Bilson in late 2019 but ended their relationship the same year. He then began dating Anna Kendrick, with whom he co-starred in the movie Noelle, in late 2020 or early 2021. However, their relationship ended in June 2022.
On the other hand, Wong married actor and entrepreneur Justin Hakuta in 2014, and they have two daughters together. However, in April 2022, they announced their separation, but remain good friends.
While Hader and Wong have had their fair share of publicized relationships, it’s clear that their current kick-start romance is what has caught the attention of fans.
