Ali Wong’s decision to file for divorce from Justin Hakuta came in December 2023, more than a year after they publicly acknowledged their separation. In the proceedings, Wong sought joint custody of their children, reflecting their mutual commitment to raising their kids as a solid unit. But they’re not just co-parents — they’re also workmates, as evidenced on Hakuta’s LinkedIn page that he’s still Wong’s tour manager. He wrote on his profile that he “leads operations for global touring,” on top of other professional endeavors like serving as an angel investor for various companies and co-founding a startup of his own.
Wong’s 2019 cover story with Vanity Fair revealed that Hakuta left his high-flying tech executive role to be with Wong on tour. His involvement wasn’t limited to managerial duties, either. He actively participated in various aspects of the tour, including handling merchandise sales. Post-split, Hakuta continued to join Wong’s tour, primarily to stay close to their children. “Taking kids on the road is so beautiful,” Wong said of the experience in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s a really fun family adventure because basically at night I’m performing, and then during the day, we go on adventures to the children’s museum or the gardens or we see family friends.”
