Prior to giving birth to her first child, Ali featured on Netflix with a baby bump in August 2016. In fact, she was seven and a half months pregnant when she filmed Baby Cobra, her first comedy special.
Two years later, the lovebirds' second baby girl was born in December 2017. Her name, however, is yet to be revealed.
Earlier, the couple first met at a wedding of some mutual friend in 2010. Ali recalled the first meeting. She said:
"I knew that he was a catch so I was like, “All right, Ali, you gotta make this dude believe that your body is a secret garden…When really it’s a public park…that has hosted many reggae fests and has even accidentally let…two homeless people inside. I thought they were hipsters."
The comedian invited her future husband to her show and soon after they developed love affection for each other. And as we know, the subsequent dates eventually led to them embracing each other as life partners!
Despite differing career path, the pair shares good chemistry and understanding, and there have never been any reports of conflict. Ali is vocal about prioritizing her personal life over her professional one. She explained:
"Marriage is a priority over the material. I can always make new jokes, but I can't marry another man. I don't want to."
Ali is pretty active on social media. She often posts pictures of her husband and kids. The family of four is living blissfully in Los Angeles, California.

Ali Wong Turns Misery Into Humor
Ali Wong rose to her biggest fame thanks to her Netflix special Baby Cobra which was released in 2016. She possesses the impressive ability to turn the supposed weaknesses of women into a strength through her comedy.
During Baby Cobra, Ali instantly impressed the audience performing on the stage as a pregnant woman making mischevious jokes about pregnancy, miscarriage, and motherhood.
The comedian had earlier suffered a miscarriage in the past, eleven weeks into her first pregnancy. She joked:
"My mom, she’s from a Third World country, and when I told her I had one (miscarriage) she was, like, ‘Uh, yeah, where I’m from that’s like losing a pair of shoes."
Moreover, women are often the victims of condescending remarks about how their career goes downhill once they are pregnant - Wong spoke at great length proving it to be false through her comedy.
