Ali Wong won the big award at the 2025 Golden Globes on Sunday, January 5, but when she didn’t walk the red carpet with boyfriend Bill Hader or thank him in her speech, fans thought the two might have broken up.
However, Hader’s rep tells PEOPLE that the actor, 46, and comedian, 42, are still going strong.
“Bill was unable to attend the Globes due to a pre-existing eye condition that worsened and was advised by his doctor to stay home and rest,” the rep explained. “He and Ali are still together.”

Wong beat out Jamie Foxx, Nikki Glaser, Seth Meyers, Adam Sandler and Ramy Youssef to take home the award for Best Stand-Up Comedy Performance on Television for her Netflix special Single lady.
“I’m from San Francisco and that’s where I started doing stand-up,” she said while receiving the honor at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. “And I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for my time on stage and all the practice I got to become a stand-up comedian.”

PEOPLE confirmed in April 2023 that Hader and Wong, who briefly dated in the fall of 2022, had rekindled their romance following her split from Hakuta a year earlier. Wong and Hakuta finalized their divorce in May 2024.
“I did not expect the news of my divorce to be so widespread and public,” Wong said in Single lady. “I felt really embarrassed and embarrassed, but I didn’t realize that all these media outlets were acting like a Bat-Signal, letting all potentially interested men know that I was suddenly available. I have never been so persecuted in my life.”
A timeline of Bill Hader and Ali Wong’s relationship
Wong revealed that a mutual friend gave Hader her number after they met after her breakup. She told how Hader addressed her with the following message: “Hey, Ali. I just happened to hear the news of your divorce today and I have to tell you…I’m excited.’ I did, Ali, because, look, I’ve had a crush on you forever, and I actually told my best friend years ago that you were my dream girl. And I know this sounds crazy, but, uh, I want you to be my girlfriend.”
