Simu Liu and Allison Hsu were first linked in late 2022. In a 2023 interview with People, Liu spoke candidly about how their relationship brought a sense of comfort and clarity into their life.
“I think everyone knows the feeling of being in a situation where they’re not fully happy, and then all of a sudden for that to change … it’s such a breath of relief,” he said. “It’s this feeling of ‘Oh, right, it does exist.’ You start to feel like, okay, maybe I’ve just been conditioned to want something that doesn’t exist or I have unrealistic expectations.”
Liu also shared his thoughts on starting a family, saying: “I definitely see kids in my future. I would be surprised if I was not a father ten years from now.
“I think you just hit that point in your life where it starts happening around you and all of your best friends that you grew up just shooting s*** with and being delinquent kids with all of a sudden get to positions of responsibility and parenthood. You’re looking at these guys and you’re like, ‘Oh my God, I never thought you would ever be responsible for another human life.'”
