By fall of that same year, Wong and Hader were rumored to be an item.

In May 2023, Wong did an interview with Variety to talk about her series Beef, and during that conversation, she commented on how her love life is now a public spectacle.
“It’s so weird. I can’t even explain it. I have never, ever been snapped by paparazzi until this year,” Wong told Variety. “I was talking to someone recently, and they said, ‘I think it’s so alarming when it happens because you feel like you’ve been caught when really, you’re not doing anything wrong.’ It was someone giving me, in hindsight, advice about their former relationship with a famous person. They had spent so much energy hiding, and that defined the whole relationship. That’s still staying with me, and it’s quite an adjustment.”
In that same interview, Wong also explained how her relationship has impacted her comedy.
“I’m not single now, but I was single for a long time after I got divorced. It was so compelling to talk about my life as a single woman. When practicing, I was in the habit of talking as if I was still single. What’s strange is now [my romantic life] is public information. For me, stand-up is still an abstraction of truth—it does not represent the whole me. Out of respect for my relationship, I have to practice putting them in the past tense,” she shared.
