The Relationship Timeline: From Secret Dating to Red Carpet Debut

The Ali Wong and Bill Hader relationship is notable not just for the star power of the two comedians, but for its surprising on-again, off-again start and its eventual, very public confirmation. Their connection is a textbook example of a "rekindled romance," proving that sometimes, timing is everything.

The Initial, Brief Romance (Late 2022)

Wong and Hader first began dating quietly in late 2022. This initial relationship was short-lived, with the couple reportedly splitting up by December of the same year. The relationship was so private that it was largely unknown to the public at the time of their initial breakup.

The Rekindling (April 2023)

Less than a year later, the comedians reconnected and rekindled their romance in April 2023. This time, the relationship took root, and they began dating again, though they still maintained a high level of privacy.

The Golden Globes Kiss (January 2024)

The world got a clear, undeniable sign of their relationship at the 81st Golden Globe Awards in January 2024. After Ali Wong won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Limited Series for Beef, she celebrated the win with a passionate kiss with Bill Hader, who was seated next to her. The moment went viral, officially confirming their relationship to a global audience.

The Official Debut (2025 DGA Awards)

Despite the viral kiss, the couple held off on a formal red carpet appearance until the 77th Directors Guild of America (DGA) Awards in early 2025. This event marked their official "red carpet debut" as a couple, nearly two years after they first started dating. Wong and Hader posed together, smiling and confirming their serious commitment to the relationship. This milestone was a major step for the notoriously private Hader.
