Another relationship bites the dust for Bill Hader as he and Ali Wong have gone their separate ways!
The actor, in recent years, has been no stranger to short-lived whirlwind romances, with his breakup details making headlines. He has kept his dating circle in the industry and tried to maintain a low profile while at it.
Relationship drama is not the only thing bringing Bill Hader to the limelight. He reportedly had a distressing encounter with Rob Reiner's son, Nick Reiner, which left him shaken, especially after news of the filmmaker and his wife's death broke out.
Bill Hader's Two-Year Relationship Has Come To An End
Hader and his lover of over two years, Wong, have pulled the plug on their relationship. The couple who went public with their relationship back in April 2023 have now gone their separate ways.
No reports of quarrel fuelling the split have come to light, and reports show that the split was amicable. A source told PEOPLE that their schedules and family obligations pulled them in different directions. Navigating the ups and downs of life made it difficult for them to make the relationship work.
The source shared that "with Ali's upcoming stand-up tour and Bill's various film and TV projects this year," their relationship did not fit right into the picture.
They ultimately decided that supporting each other while focusing on their work and children was the best option for them.
Fans Speculated Trouble In Paradise Since Last Year
Last year, at the 2025 Golden Globes in January, Wong won an award, taking home the best performance in stand-up comedy on television prize for the Netflix special, "Single Lady."
Wong emerged victorious over amazingly talented entertainers in her category, including Adam Sandler, Jamie Foxx, and Seth Meyers. However, in her acceptance speech, she did not thank Hader, and they did not even walk the red carpet together.
This was very unlike the 2024 Golden Globes, which they attended together and even shared a kiss at the ceremony. Fans speculated that the lovebirds might be going through some trouble, but Hader's rep shut them down, saying he missed the event due to a health issue.
The Actors Previous Relationship With Anna Kendrick Was Also Short-lived
Hader and Kendrick were together for just a year before calling it quits.They began dating shortly after Hader and his ex-wife, Maggie Carey, got divorced. It was disclosed that they bonded after shooting a movie together.
Their relationship was very low-key, but they were reportedly in love, enjoying their time together, and happy with their blossoming relationship.
They kept details of their love life very quiet, as well as the narrative surrounding their split. However, The Blast noted that Hader stated that his kids were the reason he maintained privacy in his relationships.
He also stressed how much he devoted his time to being a father to his three girls, Hayley, Harper, and Hannah. "They just want me to be their daddy. They just want me to sit and watch 'Encanto' over and over and over again. So that's what I do," the "Trainwreck" actor said.
The Breakup From Bill Hader Was More Difficult Than Childbirth For Rachel Bilson
Rachel Bilson was linked to Hader in 2019 and early 2020. In 2022, news of their breakup made headlines, especially after Bilson detailed the emotional trauma in her podcast.
Bilson shared that their relationship came to an end during the COVID-19 era, and the emotional turmoil was great. She could not leave her house due to the isolation regulations, so she had no other choice but to deal with her feelings alone.
"It was probably the hardest thing I've ever done, harder than childbirth," Bilson said. The Blast reported that the pain of the breakup, along with the worldwide health disturbance, was a strain on her, but after a while, she got over it.
Inside Bill Hader's Unsettling Encounter With Rob Reiner's Son
Just weeks before the year ended, Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, were murdered in their home. A few hours before the murder, the filmmaker attended a Christmas party with his son Nick, where Hader was also present.
It was reported that Hader had a brief but tense encounter with Nick at the party, and after the news of the killings made waves, Hader was visibly shaken and distressed.
At the party, Nick interrupted Hader while he was in the middle of a private conversation, and when the 47-year-old tried to disengage, he reportedly stood still, stared, and then "stormed off."
The father of three refused to talk about the interaction as he did not want any further connection with Nick and the tragedies.
