Comedian Ali Wong said she and her ex-husband Justin Hakuta had a really 'unconventional' divorce last year and are now 'best friends.'
Comedian Ali Wong said recently that she and ex-husband Justin Hakuta are"best friends" following their decision"We’re really, really close; we’re best friends," Wong, 40, told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published Wednesday, adding that the two had played pickleball together that morning."We’ve been through so much together. It’s a very unconventional divorce.
The"Always Be My Maybe" star said her 82-year-old mother had a difficult time with the divorce and at first asked Wong if she could wait until her mom died to end her marriage. Justin Hakuta, a tech entrepreneur, will also accompany Ali Wong and their young daughters on her next stand-up tour in which she plans to tell jokes about her dating life now."I did not expect the announcement to be so widespread [in the news], but by far the hardest part about getting divorced was my mother’s reaction," Wong explained."I had told her before that I thought we might get divorced, and she was really upset.
The"Beef" actress said because there was so much news coverage about her divorce announcement, her mother didn’t have to tell any of her friends. "They all called her," she said."She died a million deaths in one day and then woke up the next day and was like, ‘I survived.’ She still sees Justin a ton."
