In case you hadn’t noticed, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings actor Simu Liu is engaged! He’s been romantically linked to Interscope Records digital marketing manager Allison Hsu since 2022, and they are extremely cute. The pair has been Instagram/red carpet/courtside official, and they’ve managed to steal our hearts thanks to their cozy matching sweaters and nonstop romantic vacations.
So, yeah: We’re getting into a timeline below due to being more invested in these two than our own relationships (it’s fine/normal).

Simu reveals he’s “going through a breakup” two months after going public with his then-girlfriend Jade Bender. The revelation comes at the Dreamforce 2022 conference in San Francisco, where Simu is asked how he’s doing.
“I’m okay, I’m okay,” he says, via Entertainment Tonight. “I’m learning to prioritize myself. I’m becoming more and more comfortable with the idea of therapy and support systems. It really just hit me recently just how burnt out I was. I experienced moments where I’m living my dream and it didn’t quite feel like I was where I needed to be with myself. I’m also going through a breakup. That’s probably also contributing to it but that’s okay, I’ll be okay.”

“Happy birthday to the girl who truly does it all. 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. Most importantly, she shows me that the people we love are always worth fighting for,” he wrote.
Simu continued, “I love you to pieces, babe. Whether we’re on another crazy trip to god-knows-where for who-knows-what, or just binging our way through friends at home, there’s simply nothing better than holding your hand. thanks for never giving up on me.”
