“They are very much friends and still in touch,” they added.
As for the reason for the breakup, the source explained, “It was too difficult to make the relationship work with Ali’s upcoming stand up tour and Bill’s various film and tv projects this year.”
“They’re focusing on their work and kids, while continuing to support and root for each other,” they said.
It’s not clear exactly when the couple first started dating. However, Ali shared a story about the start of their relationship while on a comedy tour back in May 2024.
“I get a phone call from this guy who I met at a dinner party in the past, and he got my number from a mutual friend. He was like, ‘Hey, I just happened to hear the news about your divorce, and I’ve had a crush on you forever. I actually told my best friend years ago that you were my dream girl, and I know it sounds crazy, but I want you to be my girlfriend.’”
At the time, she wasn’t very receptive, joking, “I was like, ‘I just paid $25 [for the dating app]. You seem really nice, but I gotta get my money’s worth.’ ”
As the skit continued, she revealed that the man in question was Bill.
The couple made their red carpet debut in February 2025 while attending the 2025 Directors Guild of America Awards. Check out all the pics.
