The movie is yet to get its studio partner or release date, while Simu Liu has revealed that the script has already been completed, hinting that the early development is complete and the project is moving forward, for which the audience has been waiting for so long.
With this announcement, Simu Liu is back in the headlines, prompting people to look at his personal life as well. It was in May 2025 that Simu Liu got engaged to his girlfriend, Allison Hsu, after being in a relationship for three years. So, who is Allison Hsu? Here's a look at Allison's life and her relationship with Simu Liu!
Simu Liu began dating Allison Hsu back in 2022. Allison has her own identity as a digital marketing director. She kick-started her career as an intern at Interscope Records in 2017 after she attended UCLA. Following this, she earned her bachelor's degree, and in 2018, she secured a full-time position at the same company. Well, Allison in 2023 became one of the directors of the same company where she began her career.
Allison Hsu was positioned as the digital marketing director at Interscope Records, where she leads and manages social efforts for big stars like Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, and others, as reported by Forbes. She was also named to Forbes' 30 Under 30 in music in 2022. Simu Liu remains in awe of his loving fiancée, and talking about her, in an interview with PEOPLE, the actor called her a 'fighter'. He mentioned in the interview that Hsu is really a 'fighter' and she is extremely passionate in every aspect of her life.
It was in November 2022 when Hsu took to her social media platform and shared a sweet photo with Siam Liu. She captioned her post with a smiley emoticon, and it was enough to make people understand that something was brewing between the duo. Following this simple nod on social media, Liu and Hsu attended the Violent Night movie premiere in Los Angeles, and the actor then took to his social media to post glimpses from that night.
It was only with the now-deleted post that Siam Liu announced his relationship with the digital marketing director. Ever since, the couple has been taking one step at a time in their relationship. It was in December 2022 when Simu Liu, in an interview, said they were in a 'stressful' time, as they were back then into family stuff like meeting each other's parents and spending time together.
While the couple likes to keep things private, they never shy away from sharing cutesy glimpses from their lives, featuring each other. Whether it's birthdays or special occasions, both Liu and Hsu often take to their social media accounts and share snaps of their time together. While Liu called Hus a 'fighter', she just loves how 'thoughtful' her fiancé is. The couple walked together on several red carpets.
Liu is a famous actor, and thus, he often remains busy with his professional commitments. It's Hsu, according to Liu, who has to 'fight for spending time together'. Both Liu and Hsu believe in spending quality time together and working hard to maintain that balance in the relationship. Talking about their values for a good time together, Liu told PEOPLE:
"I mean, [the] schedule's always packed and it's always, you know, it's just hard for anybody who travels a lot to fight for time together and make sure you're taking enough time to be present with each other and to kind of block out everything that everybody wants and to just kind of be, to have a moment that’s just ours."
After dating for three years, Simu Liu and Allison Hus got engaged to each other in May 2025. The actor proposed to his ladylove in Paris, and soon after, the couple took to their social media handles to let their followers know they had taken a step forward in their relationship. In the photo that Liu shared on social media, the couple was seen twinning in white-toned ensembles. Hsu was seen flaunting a gorgeous oval-cut diamond ring as they announced their engagement. Liu, in the caption, wrote that he chose Hsu forever, while she commented with a sweet 'I Love You' on his post. Liu's adorable caption could be read as:
"From weekends in Paris, day trips to Palm Springs, long nights on set, afternoons vegging on the couch and everything in between, I choose you forever and always."
All the boys should take notes, as what Liu did for his ladylove while proposing marriage to her, is something that is called 'thoughtfully romantic'. After their engagement, Liu appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, wherein he talked about his engagement with Hsu. The actor revealed that Hsu is a 'Swiftie', and during the early stages of their dating, they bonded over Taylor Swift's songs, whose lyrics actually helped him understand his ladylove better. Well, being the doting beau, Liu reached out to the singer's publicist and requested a two-second congratulatory message to Hsu over her engagement. Sweet, romantic, thoughtful, and whatnot, should we tag this gesture? Talking about the 'cherry on the top' of the surprise, Liu said:
"I'll preface this by saying my fiancée works in music, so she’s a digital marketing executive, and she grew up a Swiftie. She loves Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift’s songs and her music, that was a big part of the beginning of our relationship, was getting to know her through those songs, and why they meant so much to her."
For the unversed, Allison Hsu isn't the first one that Simu Liu dated; rather, throughout all these years, he was speculated to be dating American actress Jade Bender and Canadian actress Tina Jung. Neither of these relationships was reportedly confirmed, except for the fact that it was in 2022, when Liu was going through a breakup in 2022, which possibly hinted at his split with Bender.
