Ali Wong has filed for divorce from Justin Hakuta, nearly two years after their split.

Following her filing in Beverly Hills, TMZ obtained court documents and reported the reason of divorce as "irreconcilable differences".

The date of the former couple’s separation has been listed as April 10, 2022, two days before Wong’s rep confirmed her split.

The outlet also revealed that the estranged couple has insisted to employ the prenup and they are currently in mediation to decide on their assets and spousal or child support.

The couple, who tied the knot in 2014, share two daughters, namely, Mari, 8, and Nikki, 6.

The American Housewife alum has also requested for joint legal and physical custody of their minor girls.

She previously told the Hollywood Reporter in May 2023, nearly a year after her split, that her bond with the tech entrepreneur is still as strong as ever.

"We’re really, really close; we’re best friends," the Beef actress said at the time.

She continued, "We’ve been through so much together. It's a very unconventional divorce."

Despite their complicated relationship status, the Baby Cobra comic and Hakuta hit the road this summer with their daughters for former's tour, where she cracked some jokes on life after divorce.

Wong shortly moved on to fellow comedian Bill Hader, only months after her split from her husband. 

After a brief two-month romance, the couple called it quits in December 2022, only to rekindle their love again in April 2023, confirmed by an exclusive source to Page Six.

The lovebirds were also seen exchanging a kiss during a casual walk through the streets of Los Angeles earlier this year.
