While she may have smooched Hader upon her win and celebrated with him at Netflix's after-party, it was her ex Justin Hakuta who got the big shoutout during her emotional acceptance speech after winning Best Actress in a Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television for her Netflix series Beef.
"I really need to thank the father of my children and my best friend Justin," she said with palpable feeling. "For all of your love and support. It is because of you I'm able to be a working mother."
Wong filed for divorce from Hakuta last month, a year after publicly separating.
