Brad Williams’ wife is Jasmine Gong, a taekwondo instructor also identified in interviews as Jasmine Williams. Her professional background includes competition, teaching and training in several martial arts. Williams’ March 2026 appearance on Beyond the Mic with Sean Dillon continued to identify Jasmine as his wife.
For viewers who know her mainly through his stand-up, the martial arts connection is worth a closer look. Jasmine has an instructor biography of her own, while Brad has described how becoming a husband changed the perspective he brings to comedy.
Who Is Jasmine Gong?
Jasmine Gong is the name used in her martial arts profile and in Peter Lindblad’s interview with Brad for Out & About Wisconsin. A 2025 New Times San Luis Obispo interview identifies the comedian’s wife as taekwondo instructor Jasmine Williams. These accounts connect both names to the same person and profession.
That distinction helps separate her from other people named Jasmine Williams. Her documented connection is to martial arts instruction and to Brad Williams, the stand-up comedian whose specials include Fun Size and Daddy Issues.
Her Martial Arts Training and Teaching
The Korean Martial Arts Center’s biography lists Master Jasmine Gong as a fourth-degree taekwondo black belt who began training there in 1997. It credits her with double gold at the 2006 National Tae Kwon Do Junior Olympics.
It records training in judo, Arnis, Eskabo Daan and hapkido, plus teaching at KMAC, the Stonestown YMCA and an elementary-school club. This undated profile documents experience, not a current teaching schedule.
KMAC also records a 2012 bachelor’s degree in psychology and social action, earned summa cum laude, without naming the institution.
Marriage and Public Appearances
The couple were already married when comedy journalist Jeffrey Gurian covered Brad’s Gotham Comedy Club appearance in April 2018. In his firsthand report for The Interrobang, Gurian recalled seeing Brad with his then-fiancée Jasmine Gong in Las Vegas the previous year. At the New York show, he encountered the two watching the performance together.
Gurian also described Brad telling stories about Jasmine’s martial arts abilities during his set. Those stories belong to a comedy performance; they are useful context for how audiences came to know her, while her school biography supplies the professional background.
The March 8, 2026 Beyond the Mic episode returned to their relationship. Its published questions refer to more than ten years together and ask how touring has affected the way they laugh, love and enjoy life. That is a relationship timeline, rather than a precise wedding date.
How Marriage Changed Brad’s Comedy
In his Out & About Wisconsin interview, Brad explained that new stages of life give him new material. Marriage and parenthood changed the experiences he could draw from, and he wanted the perspective of his act to change with him.
“I wanted my material to mature and adjust as I matured,” he said.
The interview also noted his concern about how public jokes might affect his family. That gives a more specific picture of the relationship’s place in his work than describing Jasmine as an unnamed source of inspiration: she is part of the life he discusses, and someone affected by how he discusses it.
Final Thoughts
Jasmine Gong’s public story has two well-documented parts: her martial arts background and her marriage to Brad Williams. Her instructor profile provides concrete achievements, and interviews with Brad show how their relationship entered his comedy. Readers do not need an invented wealth estimate or a detailed private-life narrative to understand either part.
