Simu Liu announces engagement to girlfriend Allison Hsu

CTV News12-05-2025
'Barbie' actor and Marvel star Simu Liu has announced his engagement to girlfriend Allison Hsu.
The Chinese-Canadian actor, who was Marvel's first Asian superhero and played a Ken doll in the 2023 hit 'Barbie' movie, shared a series of romantic snaps on Instagram Sunday.
'Us forever,' Hsu wrote in a joint post, followed by a string of diamond ring and white heart emojis.
Often dubbed the 'city of love,' the pair shared several photos taken in Paris against the backdrop of the city's skyline, with Hsu sporting an impressive diamond ring.
'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,' Liu told his 3 million followers.
Hsu replied, declaring: 'I love you fiancé!!!!!!!!!!'
The pair were first thought to be officially dating in late 2022 when they attended the premiere of action-comedy 'Violent Night' together in Los Angeles, California.
Around the same time, Hsu posted a picture on Instagram of the pair cuddling.
Speaking in December 2022 about what he admired about his partner, Liu told People that Hsu was 'a badass, she's a fighter and she's very, very passionate about all things in life, her work, her job, and her other things.'
'And that's a language that I speak very well, and I am happy to see where it goes,' he said at the time.
Liu rose to international fame after his starring role in 2021 Marvel movie 'Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings.'
More recently, the actor appeared as a guest star and investor on an episode of CBC's 'Dragons' Den.' During his time on the show, he raised questions about cultural appropriation after the owners of a Canadian bubble tea company appeared on the 'Shark-Tank'-style series, seeking an investment.

Jimmy Kimmel's backup plan may be a move to Italy

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel revealed he has obtained Italian citizenship. In a recent conversation for 'The Sarah Silverman Podcast,' the two comedians, who dated years ago and remain friends, discussed the state of U.S. politics and how some celebrities, including Rosie O'Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres, had moved abroad ahead of President Donald Trump's second term. 'A lot of people I know are thinking about where are they going to get citizenship,' Silverman said. 'I did get Italian citizenship,' Kimmel responded. 'I do have that.' 'What's going on is… as bad as you thought it was going to be, it's so much worse,' Kimmel continued. 'It's unbelievable. Like, I think it's probably even worse than he would like it to be.' Kimmel, who has been a vocal critic of Trump, said people who voted for the president should not be condemned if they have expressed subsequent regret and those on the left need to be more accepting. 'The door needs to stay open,' Kimmel said. 'If you want to change your mind, that's so hard to do. If you want to admit you were wrong, that's so hard and so rare to do, you are welcome.' 'I can't believe I voted for him three times!' Kimmel later joked. Kimmel has been on summer hiatus from hosting his nightly ABC show, but most recently was in the headlines when Trump weighed in on the cancelation of 'Late Night with Stephen Colbert.' 'I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next,' meaning to be cancelled, Trump wrote in his Truth Social post last month. Around the same time, Kimmel shared a photo from vacation in Jackson Hole, where he attended an anti-Trump protest with his family. The comedian held declaring, 'MAKE AMERICA GOOD AGAIN.' His wife, Molly McNearney, the head writer and executive producer of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live,' also held up a sign. It read, 'DON'T BEND THE KNEE.' By Lisa Respers France, CNN
