A Look at Simu Liu’s Dating History and His Current Relationship With Allison Hsu

Prior to his romance with Bender, Liu was linked to actor Tina Jung, though their relationship was neither confirmed nor denied by either person. Liu reportedly met Jung in 2015 after the two had small roles in an episode of CW’s “Beauty and the Beast.” Following their work on the TV show, they reunited in 2016 on “Kim’s Convenience.”

Liu and Jung went on to collaborate again less than a year after sharing the screen together. In 2017, the pair cowrote, produced, and starred in the short film “Meeting Mommy,” which was released on YouTube in October of that year. On crafting the film’s storyline together, Jung said in an interview with Ricepaper Magazine, “The idea for ‘Meeting Mommy’ came to us one night as we were brainstorming a project to do together . . . We threw a bunch of ideas around and landed on a story about a mother trying to raise her daughter despite knowing she couldn’t physically be there. It eventually snowballed and we found ourselves crying as we kept adding more depth into this idea which later became ‘Meeting Mommy.'”

After “Meeting Mommy” was released, many speculated that they had broken up, though not much else is known about their relationship.

Liu was first linked to Bender when she accompanied him to the 2019 Unforgettable Gala, an award ceremony that celebrates and recognizes the achievements of Asian Americans in arts and entertainment, according to the gala’s official website. It’s unclear if they were officially an item at the time.

The pair posed alongside each other at a number of events in 2022. In June of that year, Liu brought Bender to his interview on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” and the two were later seen out together that same month, per People.

On July 21, 2022, Bender accompanied Liu to the annual ESPY Awards, and just days later, the couple attended San Diego Comic-Con, which Bender documented on Instagram. In a photo dump of the event, the “Senior Year” actor shared a candid picture of her and Liu gleefully laughing on the red carpet, writing, “Comic-con recap (I am tired).” In August, the two appeared on the red carpet for the premiere of “Bullet Train.”

However, Liu alluded to their breakup in September. At the Dreamforce tech conference, the MCU star was asked about how he was dealing with his mental health. According to SF Gate, he explained he was working on himself in quite a few areas, then added, “I’m also going through a breakup. That’s probably also contributing to it but that’s OK, I’ll be OK.”

Liu stepped out with Hsu – who’s a digital marketing director at Interscope Records – for the first time on Nov. 29, 2022, at the premiere of the new Christmas film “Violent Night.” The pair wore Christmas sweaters for the festive event. Liu shared a photo of the duo together at the event on his Instagram Story the next day. Ten days earlier, Hsu shared a photo of herself and Liu cuddled up and smiling on Instagram.

Liu occasionally puts up snaps of his girlfriend on Instagram, with one of his most recent posts being a PDA-filled photo of them kissing. “happy valentine’s day babe sorry i couldn’t make the eagles win ♥️,” he wrote in a caption. The two have also stepped out at a handful of events together since their public debut as a couple – including the 2023 Oscars.

Hsu was named on Forbes’s 30 Under 30 List on Nov. 29, 2022, with the publication noting that the 26-year-old leads all digital and social for Interscope artists like Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, and FINNEAS.
