Make that 11 rings.
“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” star Simu Liu, 36, has confirmed he is engaged to partner Allison Hsu. The Marvel actor revealed the news in a romantic Instagram post on May 11, which showed him and Hsu sharing a kiss.
“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,” he wrote.
Liu also shared the news on his Instagram story. “Nine rings left,” he wrote, referencing the title of his Marvel superhero film “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.” Hsu, meanwhile, posted a series of photos showing a closer look at the engagement ring along with the caption, “Us forever 💍💍💍🤍🤍🤍.”
Liu and Hsu, a digital marketing director at the record label Interscope Records, have been linked since 2022. That same year, she was listed on Forbes’ 30 Under 30 in the music category, with the magazine noting Hsu “leads all things digital and social for” artists including Billie Eilish, Finneas and Lady Gaga.
