Who is Justin Hakuta?

The sensational comedian Ali Wong's husband, Justin Hakuta, is a 40-year-old businessman who currently serves as the Vice President of Products at GoodRx.

With a bachelor's degree in Decision Science from Carnegie Mellon University, the tycoon graduated from Harvard Business School with his MBA.

Aside from his current position at GoodRx, Hakuta previously worked as a Senior Product Manager at Cargomatic and as Product Strategist/UX Lead at DIRECTV.

Despite Hakuta's strong business mind and enterprise, Hakuta is actually the son of the Dr. Fad Show's Ken Hakuta, a Japanese-American inventor and TV personality.

How did the couple meet?

Hakuta and Wong met in 2010 at a public park wedding.

Wong cordially asked Hakuta to attend one of her stand-up shows, and Hakuta was mesmerized by her humor.

"The first thing I learned about him was that, at the time, he was attending Harvard Business School. And I was like, ‘Oh, my God, I’m gonna trap his a**. Going to trap his a**!’ And I trapped his a** initially by not kissing him until the fifth date, which is a very unusual move on my part. But I did it on purpose because I knew that he was a catch," shared Wong in her first stand-up series, Baby Cobra.

The couple now has two daughters, Mari and Nikki, born in 2015 and 2017.
