For example, on William’s birthday on February 8, 2020, Ali posted a photo of William with their dog with the following caption: “Another sentimental birthday post.

The last photo of the couple on Ali’s Instagram was taken on January 22, 2021.

Aside from Instagram posts and not-so-private niceties, William has never been too eager to share his private life with the public. William rarely talks about his girlfriend in interviews.

How old is Ali Ahn?

We don’t know for sure. In 2015, when Ali Ahn was starring in Wendy Wasserstein’s play The Heidi Chronicles, Broadway Buzz reported that Ali’s age was “Barely Old.” Those words were between quotation marks. So they probably didn’t refer to her actual age.

Anyway, Ali celebrates her birthday on July 24 every year. So her zodiac sign is Leo.

Ali Ahn’s nationality and ethnicity

Ali Ahn’s nationality is American and her ethnicity is Korean. Her grandparents’ generation moved to the United States and made the family Korean-American.

Ali Ahn’s career

Like her boyfriend, Ali Ahn is also an actress but unlike William, she is more of a stage actress than a screen actress.

Despite this, Ali has had 39 screen credits. A few of them were for significant roles. For example, she appeared as Tinker in Black Box (2014), as Josie Cho in The Breaks (2017), as Nicole in The Path (2016-2018). And most recently, she appeared as Suzanne Wu in Raising Dion (2019-2021).

We mentioned Ali’s work in the 2015 revival of Wendy Wasserstein’s play The Heidi Chronicles. It was her Broadway debut.

The Heidi Chronicles won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1989. And Elizabeth Moss, who starred in the play in a 2015 revival, was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play.

Even while working on Broadway, however, Ali still had a day job teaching.

Prior to this, Ali has appeared in off-Broadway plays like Sugar House, Twelfth Night, etc. Her most recent stage work was in Rajiv Joseph’s play Letters of Suresh.

The story goes that when casting for the play was announced, Ali texted “all of her Asian American actor friends who were working in New York City” because “it was so rare to have a story that revolved around the coming of age of an Asian American character.”

Ali plays Melody in the play. Ali has described her character as a female character with creative anxiety. “And to see a woman do that—and not in the context of motherhood, and she’s also Asian American—it’s different.”

Ali also spoke about returning to the theater after the COVID pandemic and the complete shutdown of theaters. “Certainly the first couple of shows, it didn’t feel like it was happening. It felt like a weird time warp. It felt like everyone in the audience really wanted to be there. It was really cool. It was great to perform in front of people who really appreciate the luxury of being in a group and enjoying a story,” she shared.

To study, Ali went to Yale and the California Institute of the Arts. She singled out Yale for its history and because she wanted to “be able to do as much theater” as she wanted.

Before entering university, she studied piano for 11 years. She also enjoys gymnastics.
