Beef star Ali Wong has officially filed for divorce from her husband Justin Hakuna after eight years of marriage.
According to TMZ, the 41-year-old actress reportedly filed in Beverly Hills and cited ‘irreconcilable differences.’
The former couple have two children together – daughters Mari, 8, and Nikki, 6. The star is reportedly requesting joint legal and physical custody of the children.
Documents obtained by TMZ showed that the soon-to-be ex spouses are in mediation to sort their assets and establish spousal support.
It was in 2010 when Ali and Justin first met at a friend’s wedding reception. In 2014, they tied the knot in San Francisco.
In her Baby Cobra special on Netflix in 2016, the actress shared how she played hard-to-get when she learned that Justin was a Harvard student and Fulbright scholar.
“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.
In her book ‘Dear Girls: Intimate Tales Untold Secrets and Advice for Living Your Best Life,’ Ali said that signing the prenup before getting married was one of her secrets to achieve success.
“My father always praised ‘the gift of fear.’ And that prenup scared the s*** out of me,” she said.
“In the end, being forced to sign that prenup was one of the greatest things that ever happened to me and my career.”
