Ali Wong and Bill Hader appeared to be having a good time as they made their way down the red carpet together as a couple for the first time.

Ali, 42, is nominated for her first DGA Award for her Netflix special Ali Wong: Single Lady.

The DGA Awards red carpet is the couple’s public debut though they’ve been dating since April 2023.

The Beef actress looked sensational in a sheer beige and brown ombre sleeveless gown featuring a ruffled train.

She wore her hair parted on the side and flowing down in loose curls and had her signature glᴀsses on.

Hader, 46, looked dapper in a black tuxedo with a classic bowtie as he and his girlfriend cracked each other up on their way into the event.

Wong shares two daughters with Hakuta and filed for divorce in 2023.

Bill and Ali split in December 2022, but they rekindled their romance in April 2023, and they’ve kept their relationship under the radar ever since.

‘We’re very selectively private,’ Wong explained to Access Hollywood last year.

‘I mean, we’ve been together for a minute so it’s, like, I guess people didn’t know we were together,’ she started.

‘We’re both, like, in our 40s and parents,’ she said of the very public kiss the Barry star gave her at the Golden Globes when she won Best Actress for her role in Beef.

At the time, a source told Us Weekly, ‘Ali and Bill are have known each other for a while from their respective comedy worlds.

‘They were friends first, nothing serious, but once she was single, the idea of dating became a possibility.

‘They were both at a good place in their lives and decided to give it another sH๏τ.’

Hader previously had a two-year romance with his Noelle costar — and onscreen sister — Kendrick from 2020–2022, after dating his The To Do List co-star Rachel Bilson from 2019–2020.

Bill co-parents three daughters — Hannah, 14; Harper, 11; and Hayley, nine — with TV director Maggie Carey, whom he divorced in 2018 after 11 years of marriage.

Meanwhile, Ali amicably divorced Justin Hakuta last year after a 20-month legal separation and seven years of marriage.

The Alway Be My Maybe star co-parents two daughters – Mari, eight; and Nikki, six – with the Stealth Startup co-founder, who signed a prenup.

Ali and Justin remain best friends following their split.

Hader was one of the many Pacific Palisades residents whose home was affected by the mᴀssive LA fires, though his home is thankfully still standing.

He plunked down $4.2 million for the home in 2019, and while most of the homes around him are in rubble, his managed to survive.

‘I’m like in shock, but I’m glad my family got out. You know, I feel this is such a great community and I really am at a loss for words,’ Hader told KTLA last month.

He added that, ‘this happened so insanely fast. It’s kind of mind-boggling how fast it happens, so I just hope everybody is safe.’
