Ali Wong has officially filed to end her marriage to Justin Hakuna, which lasted eight years.
The 41-year-old BEEF star — filed in Beverly Hills on Friday, December 22, citing ‘irreconcilable differences,’ per TMZ.

The soon-to-be ex spouses are parents to two daughters — Mari, eight, and Nikki, six. Ali is requesting joint legal and physical custody of the girls.
Documents obtained by the outlet revealed that Ali and Justin are in mediation to establish spousal support and sorting their assets.
It was reported that the two want to settle their issues themselves. Ali noted that the couple had a prenup, and she wants it to be enforced by the court.
The pair met at a friend’s wedding reception in 2010 and married in San Francisco in 2014.
In her 2016 Baby Cobra special on Netflix, Ali explained that when she learned Justin was a Harvard student and Fulbright scholar, she played hard-to-get.
‘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,’ she said to a live audience.
Secrets to her success
In her book, Dear Girls: Intimate Tales Untold Secrets and Advice for Living Your Best Life, Ali credited the prenup she signed before walking down the aisle as one of the secrets to her success.
‘My father always praised “the gift of fear,”‘ she explained. ‘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.’
In February 2022 Ali referred to her marriage as ‘monogamy jail’ in her Don Wong comedy special on Netflix.
