December 8, 2022: Page Six reported that Wong and Hader "briefly" dated and broke up.

Sources told Page Six that they started dating "at least two months ago," but it fizzled out.

"They're just super busy with things," a source said, adding that the breakup was amicable.

Earlier in the year, Wong and Justin Hakuta's divorce was announced after eight years of marriage. They share two children, daughters Mari (born in 2015) and Nikki (born in 2017).

Wong later told The Hollywood Reporter that she and Hakuta are "best friends" and have "a very unconventional divorce."

Hader, who has three daughters named Hannah, Harper, and Hayley from his previous marriage to filmmaker Maggie Carey, was reportedly in a relationship with Anna Kendrick.

Hader and Kendrick played siblings in the 2019 holiday movie "Noelle" and reportedly split in June 2022 after dating for over a year.

May 30, 2023: Wong spoke about adjusting to people being interested in her personal life.

Wong told Variety that she found the new interest "weird."

"I have never, ever been snapped by paparazzi until this year," she said.

Wong also said that her return to stand-up comedy was different this time around because of her new relationship.

"It's nice because a lot personally has happened in the past year," she said. "I'm not single now, but I was single for a long time after I got divorced. It was so compelling to talk about my life as a single woman."

In the following months, Wong and the "Saturday Night Live" alum were low-key about their relationship. They were photographed holding hands during an outing in LA in September, and Wong reportedly joked about their relationship during a surprise comedy set that month.
