The Kim's Convenience star made things official with longtime girlfriend Allison Hsu in the most romantic way possible — under the sparkling lights of Paris, with the Eiffel Tower as the third wheel. Both dressed in crisp white, the couple posed for dreamy engagement pics, and yes, her diamond ring did all the talking.
Liu kept the captions sweet and simple. 'Us forever,' he wrote on one photo. In another, he poured his heart out: '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.' Cue the collective meltdown.

Fans and celeb friends wasted no time flooding the comments with love. Florence Pugh let out a caps-lock scream: 'AHHHHHHH HOW AMAZING! Sending love to you both.' Priyanka Chopra Jonas hit the emojis hard with a flurry of hearts and confetti, while John Legend chimed in with a classic, 'Congratulations.'
Simu and Allison have been going strong since late 2022, and while they've made a few glamorous red carpet appearances, they've mostly kept things low-key. Still, Liu has never shied away from gushing about her. Over the past year, he's praised her for bringing peace, happiness, and 'the kind of love that makes everything feel right.'
Now, with that Paris proposal, the internet's new favourite couple just became official goals.

Is Ryan Gosling The Next Black Panther For Marvel? What We Know
Last Updated: Ryan Gosling's casting as Black Panther started as a joke, but it gave fans hope after new Marvel comics introduced a new T'Challa who is white. Hollywood star Ryan Gosling is already set to appear in the upcoming Star Wars film, but fans now believe he might also join the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). A meme showing Gosling's face edited onto Black Panther's body has gone viral—and what started as a joke has gained unexpected traction thanks to a new Marvel comic. According to Comic Book Movie, Marvel's latest series Marvel Knights: The World to Come introduces a new version of the Black Panther. The storyline begins with an older T'Challa's death and then moves back in time to explore events leading to his downfall. In a major twist, a new Black Panther emerges—Ketema, a white man who is hinted to be the son of T'Challa and Monica Lynne. The comic explores Ketema's strained relationship with his father. His unresolved emotions lead him to challenge T'Challa and eventually claim the throne of Wakanda. The introduction of a white Black Panther has sparked conversations online, with some fans pointing out the uncanny resemblance between the comic character and Gosling. While there has been no official announcement from Marvel about Gosling's involvement, the comic's storyline—and the viral meme—have fueled speculation that the actor could be cast as Ketema in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. For now, it's just fan theory. But with Gosling's star power and Marvel's history of surprising casting moves, anything seems possible. RUMOR: Ryan Gosling will be the new Black Panther in the #MCU from another universe! — MCU Source (@MCUSource) June 5, 2025 Fans now shared more memes about Ryan Gosling as Black Panther. The multiverse gives space for new and bold ideas, but Black Panther holds a strong cultural meaning and for many, it's not a role that should be changed easily following the death of Chadwick Boseman. As of now, Gosling hasn't been cast in any Marvel movie and the rumour started as a meme. It picked up again only because the new comic introduced Ketema, a white version of Black Panther. Currently, Gosling is busy preparing for Star Wars: Starfighter. Meanwhile, fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are eagerly waiting for Avengers: Doomsday, the fifth film in the Avengers series. The movie is expected to bring together the newer group of heroes introduced in recent films. What has caught everyone's attention is the return of Robert Downey Jr, who will play the powerful villain Doctor Doom, who earlier played Iron Man. While not much is known about the plot, the film is expected to show a huge battle between the heroes and Doom, who is one of the most powerful villains in Marvel. The superhero movie is set to release on December 18, 2026. First Published:
