Discover the Relationship Journey Between Bill Hader and Ali Wong

Bill and Ali’s paths first crossed while voicing characters in Angry Birds together in 2016, yet their romantic link did not emerge until 2022. However, by December 2022, Page Six reported that their whirlwind romance had come to an end. According to a source close to the pair, “They’re no longer dating. They dated very briefly. They’re just super busy with various commitments, but [the split] was certainly amicable. They remain friends.” This indicates a healthy, respectful conclusion to their brief relationship.

Their romance was reportedly kept under the radar as Ali had just finalized her divorce from her husband of eight years, Justin Hakuta. The talented comedian and Justin tied the knot in 2014 and welcomed two daughters into their family. Their first child, Mari, was born in 2015, followed by their second daughter, Nikki, in 2017. Sources indicated that “[the divorce is] amicable and they will continue to co-parent lovingly,” highlighting a commitment to maintaining a positive relationship for the sake of their children during the separation.

Despite the speculation about their relationship’s conclusion, Bill confirmed he was seeing someone during an April 2023 interview with PEOPLE. He mentioned that his girlfriend encouraged him to take a vacation, and in a separate conversation with Collider, he shared that he enjoyed a mini vacation in San Francisco—Ali’s hometown. With the emergence of new photographs, it’s evident that he was referring to Ali Wong all along, affirming their connection.

Even though they have been seen together, Bill and Ali did not make a public appearance as a couple at the 2025 Golden Globes. Ali attended solo, while his representative confirmed they are “still together,” adding that “Bill was unable to attend the Globes due to a pre-existing eye condition that flared up, and he was advised by his doctor to stay home and rest,” according to People. This statement reinforces the ongoing nature of their relationship amidst public appearances.

Exploring the Romantic Connection Between Bill Hader and Anna Kendrick

Similar to his connection with Ali, Bill and Anna Kendrick also met through work. They portrayed the children of Santa Claus in the 2019 Disney+ holiday film, Noelle. Their romance was confirmed in January 2022 when a source shared with PEOPLE that “Anna has been dating Bill quietly for over a year.” The insider noted that they had known each other for years, as she had hosted Saturday Night Live and they had collaborated on a film, although they only began dating long after their movie project.

The insider further elaborated, stating, “They are both very private individuals, and given the pandemic, it was relatively easy to keep their relationship under wraps. They both have a great sense of humor, which likely keeps them laughing together all the time. Anna seems genuinely happy in this relationship, and that’s evident to those around them.”

In the following month, another source provided more insights into their romantic dynamic. “You can see the chemistry when they’re together. They have a really fun rapport, marked by sarcasm and humor, but it’s rooted in love,” they shared with PEOPLE. “While you might think Anna would be the one taking charge, she actually tends to be quieter around Bill. Their affection for one another is evident, especially in the way they look at each other when the other is speaking; it’s clear they share a deep love.”

A close acquaintance later shared that they were truly “in love” with each other. “Bill and Anna are in love and quite happy in their relationship, enjoying their time together,” the insider disclosed to Entertainment Tonight. While they were content with their relationship, the source noted that they felt “no rush to get engaged,” suggesting a comfortable and fulfilling partnership without pressure.

Unfortunately, their love story did not have a happy ending, and they parted ways in June 2022. Neither Bill nor Anna publicly commented on their relationship or the reasons behind their split.

Unpacking the Relationship Dynamics of Bill Hader and Rachel Bilson

Although Bill and the The O.C. star never publicly confirmed their romance, they did make a notable appearance together at the Golden Globe Awards in 2020, just weeks after being spotted sharing coffee in Rachel’s hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Makeup artist Amy Nadine seemingly confirmed their relationship with a social media post that included a snapshot of the couple before their Golden Globe appearance. “And they’re off to the Globes! The cutest couple ever @rachelbilson and #billhader!” she enthusiastically wrote.

Insiders suggested that Bill and Rachel’s relationship appeared serious, as they reportedly spent a lot of time together. “It seems quite serious,” noted a source in February 2020, speaking to PEOPLE. “They were in Los Angeles during the Valentine’s Day weekend, and on Sunday, they enjoyed a getaway to the Montage Hotel in Laguna Beach.” This indicates a strong bond between the two during their time together.

The insider further added, “Their time together seemed fun and joyful. Rachel often couldn’t stop laughing when she was around Bill, who was incredibly sweet and considerate towards her, always attentive and quick to open doors for her.” Such descriptions paint a picture of a caring and affectionate relationship.

Regrettably, their laughter faded a few months later when reports emerged that they had separated after a relationship lasting less than two years. Rachel later opened up about the breakup during a June 2022 episode of her Broad Ideas podcast, marking the first time she publicly addressed their relationship. She described the heartache she experienced during the coronavirus quarantine, stating, “It was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Harder than childbirth,” indicating the emotional toll the breakup took on her.

Rachel later clarified her comments in an August 2022 interview on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, explaining that while the breakup was incredibly challenging, it wasn’t literally more difficult than giving birth. “I had to navigate this while taking care of my child and dealing with isolation and depression,” she shared, revealing the complexities of her emotional state during that time.

In a March 2022 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Bill shared that his daughters are the primary reason he refrains from discussing his dating life publicly. “They just want me to be their dad,” he stated, emphasizing his commitment to his role as a father. “They just want me to sit and watch Encanto over and over again. So that’s what I do,” showcasing his dedication
