Bill Hader and Ali Wong: A Sweet Reunion at the 2023 Emmy Awards

The Reunion and Public Display of Affection

Bill Hader and Ali Wong stayed close during the Emmys on Monday, January 15. While they walked the red carpet solo, they reunited when the ceremony began. Inside, the pair shared a sweet smooch when Wong, 41, took home the award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for her role as Amy Lay in Beef. Wong got visibly emotional as she thanked her parents and her daughters, whom she called her 'everything.' Hader, for his part, was brought to tears by the speech.

Their Relationship Journey

The public display of affection at the Emmys came as a shock to many fans, but the comedians were first linked in late 2022. After a brief split later that year, the Saturday Night Live alum hinted in April 2023 that he and Wong had reconciled. Days after the interview was published, Hader’s rep confirmed that the pair had rekindled their romance. They were actually perfect for each other, having a lot in common, including kids and a warped sense of humor. Hader and Wong have both been married previously, and the idea of dating became a possibility once Wong became single. They both decided to give it another shot and take it one day at a time.

Although their romance is official, there's no talk about moving in together or anything like that. They seem to be serious but are taking it one day at a time, enjoying their connection and having fun. They were friends first and, once Wong became single, the idea of dating became a possibility. They decided to give it another shot, and their chemistry is apparently off the charts.
