“I want to say, I love my beautiful girlfriend Clara Wong. Why you bother with me, I don’t know why,” he said. The 56-year-old actor won the award for best performance by an actor in a motion picture – musical or comedy for his work in The Holdovers.

It’s unclear how long the lovebirds have been dating, but they’ve definitely been working together since around 2016, when Wong first appeared in Billions season one.
