It wasn’t until December 2023 that Wong officially filed for divorce citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason.
Just two months later she filed for joint custody of the couple’s two daughters, Nikki Alex, six, and Mari Justin, eight.
In March, 2023, Wong opened up about her separation in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, sharing that the hardest part wasn’t the attention the news got, but rather it was having to tell her mum.
”I had told her before [the announcement was made public] that I thought we might get divorced, and she was really upset,” said Wong. “She looked me in the eye and asked, ‘Can you just wait until I die?’ She was literally asking me to not live a life for myself. But she’s 82, what do I expect?
“But it was still really f—ing hard dealing with all her fear of the shame it would bring her.”

When it comes to co-parenting, Wong shared that she and Hakuta have no issues, describing their relationship as “best friends.”
”We’ve been through so much together. It’s a very unconventional divorce,” she added.
Plenty of Wong’s fans linked her separation to jokes made about her marriage in her comedy special Don Wong.

In the show, the comedian joked about being jealous of single people, saying, “I too, was once free… [but] like an idiot, I asked this dude to ask me to go to prison. And now I’m in monogamy jail and I don’t know how to get out.”
But according to Wong, her work had nothing to do with it. She claimed that people were reading too much into her jokes, adding that unfortunately, there’s nothing she can do about it.
“I can’t help that,” she said. “Not really.”
