Simu Liu, the star of Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, has shared news of his engagement to his long-time girlfriend Allison Hsu. The pair, who have kept their relationship out of the spotlight, broke the news on May 11, 2025. They posted a bunch of pictures taken in Paris. The photos showed a romantic scene on a balcony, with flowers and candles capturing a big moment in their lives.

Who is Allison Hsu?

Allison Hsu works as a senior manager for digital marketing at Interscope Records. She started there as an intern in 2017 and has moved up the ladder since then. Her job involves heading up digital campaigns for big names in music such as Lady Gaga and Billie Eilish.

Her hard work paid off when Forbes put Allison Hsu on their 30 Under 30 list in the music category in 2022. In a post on her social media, she called this honour "surreal".

Simu Liu and Allison Hsu’s relationship explored

People started talking about Liu and Hsu as a couple in the latter part of 2022. Their romance became public knowledge when Hsu posted a picture of them together on Instagram. Soon after, they showed up as a pair at a movie premiere.

Since then, they’ve been seen at several red-carpet events, subtly making their bond known without drawing heavy media attention.

The actor who has seen great critical and commercial success in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and other large-scale productions like Barbie put forth a very personal caption with the engagement photos. His tribute talked of the growth of their relationship through the public and private moments they shared. Liu has previously expressed admiration for Hsu's dedication to her career and the grounded support she brings into his life, emphasising the emotional depth of their connection.

"She inspires me in her passion for music (well…one musician specifically), teaches me how to balance a busy and chaotic schedule with grace, and touches me in how she cares for each and every person in her life," he wrote on Instagram in 2023. "Most importantly, she shows me that the people we love are always worth fighting for."

While celebrities’ engagements usually make big waves, Liu and Hsu's engagement is at the forefront because of their mix of fame and authenticity. They have been together in a very public and also very private way which played out over the past few years. 

As the pair look ahead to the next chapter, their engagement marks not only a personal commitment but also a union of two individuals with distinct accomplishments in their respective fields. Whether on screen or behind the scenes, both continue to leave their mark—and now, they do so together.
