Ali Wong joked about Justin’s family forcing her to sign a prenuptial agreement.
Prenuptial agreements can be a controversial topic to tackle. Some people believe that marrying for love should also come with protecting your assets, which gives prenups a leg to stand on. On the flip side, others believe that a prenup can cause friction for a betrothed couple. However, Ali has long praised the fact that she was forced to sign a prenup by Justin’s family.

In the 2018 special Ali Wong: Hard Knock Wife, Ali joked about the outcome of the prenup working in her favor.
“No one could have predicted this outcome,” Ali told the audience. “So much so, that before we got married, his family made me sign a prenup. It’s true, and now if we get divorced, their son is f--ked. No more sashimi on a Tuesday! No more fancy Japanese toilet bidet where water comes out and Hello Kitty sings the song until your butthole’s fresh and clean. Go back to drinking flat water, b---h!”

Ali Wong had to sign a prenup which motivated her to make her own money, and now that they are divorcing (and she’s making the lion’s share), her money is safe. Secure the bag. Much respect.

In the end, being forced to sign that prenup was one of the greatest things that ever happened to me and my career.”
The details of Ali and Justin’s prenup are still unclear, but by the looks of it, Justin may have to pay the ultimate price with his wallet.

Unfortunately, there is no getting around how divorce can adversely affect children. Ali and Justin share two daughters: Mari, born in 2015, and Nikki in 2017.
The status of Ali and Justin’s custody agreement has not been disclosed, but there is a chance that the former couple may explore joint custody. However, only time will tell.
