Born in November 2015, Mari Hakuta is Wong and Justin's eldest daughter. In a 2018 interview with The New York Times, Wong jokingly revealed that she was extremely nervous her ex-husband wouldn't love their firstborn. To ensure he would, she gave their oldest a Japanese name in honor of Justin (who is half-Japanese and half-Filipino). "There's not a lot of sign of me in her name," Wong explained to the publication. "And I think subconsciously I did that to try and ensure he would love her."
In her 2019 book, Wong opened up about how she tried to be a stay-at-home mom for Mari, though that only last eight weeks. "Mari was so easy and chill, and still at the end of the day I was completely exhausted," the comedian wrote, per People. "The little things just took a lot out of me."
Nikki Hakuta was born in December 2017 and is Wong and Justin's youngest child. Fun fact: Nikki made her first onscreen appearance before she was even born, as she was in utero during her mom's second Netflix special, "Ali Wong: Hard Knock Wife."
As her daughters continue to grow up, Wong previously told Vanity Fair that she's determined to do everything she can to plan future tours around their school schedule so she can still be part of all of life's little moments. "I'm like, 'I think I got my dream.' Which is to tour and take my family with me," she said.
