Simu Liu, the Canadian actor who rose to global fame as the lead in 2021’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, has built a multifaceted career in entertainment. He first gained recognition on the hit CBC sitcom Kim’s Convenience, was named one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People in 2022, released a memoir titled We Were Dreamers, and starred in 2023’s blockbuster Barbie.
While his career continues to soar, Simu has also found love with Allison Hsu, a digital marketing executive he began dating in late 2022. On May 11, 2025, the couple announced their engagement following a romantic proposal in Paris, with Simu writing, “I choose you forever and always.”
Now engaged, the couple continues to share their journey together—on and off the red carpet. Learn more about Allison and their relationship below.
Simu and Allison began dating sometime in 2022, with the couple going Instagram official on November 20, 2022. Allison took to Instagram to share a pic of the newly minted couple smiling at the camera at a concert. Both appeared to be glowing with happiness, and Allison captioned the pic with a simple smiley-face emoji. Simu later shared a post with his new leading lady on December 2 as the couple attended the Violent Night premiere in L.A.
