Simu Liu and Allison Hsu marry in France: From Taylor Swift-backed Paris proposal to a full-circle love story

He proposed in Paris. More than a year later, he married her in France.

For Simu Liu and Allison Hsu, the location of their latest milestone makes their love story feel almost perfectly circular. The Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings star, 37, and Hsu, 30, married in France over the weekend of October 3, 2026, according to a source who confirmed the news to PEOPLE. Neither Liu nor Hsu had publicly announced the marriage themselves.

Their journey from romance to wedding has stretched across nearly four years. It included a Paris proposal, a giant diamond ring and an unexpected appearance by Taylor Swift.

Simu Liu and Allison Hsu went public with their romance in 2022

The couple's relationship first became public in November 2022, when Hsu shared a photo with Liu on Instagram. Days later, they made their red-carpet debut together at the Los Angeles premiere of Violent Night. While they occasionally appeared together at events, much of their relationship unfolded away from the spotlight.

Liu, however, gradually became more open about what Hsu meant to him. In 2023, he spoke warmly about their relationship, describing himself as feeling “challenged and loved and cared for” and saying that the healthiest relationships are those where partners have each other's backs.

By then, the couple's relationship had clearly moved beyond a Hollywood red-carpet romance.

Paris became the setting for Simu Liu's proposal

On May 11, 2025, Liu and Hsu announced their engagement, with the Eiffel Tower providing the backdrop. Hsu showed off her diamond ring as the couple posed together in Paris. Liu captioned one of the engagement posts simply: “Us forever.” In another, he looked back at their shared memories, from weekends in Paris and day trips to Palm Springs to long nights on set and quiet afternoons at home. “From weekends in Paris ... and everything in between,” he wrote, “I choose you, forever and always.”

It was romantic enough already. Then came the Taylor Swift twist.

Taylor Swift made the Paris engagement even more memorable

Hsu is a longtime Taylor Swift fan, and Liu said Swift's music had played a significant role in the early stages of their relationship. So, while planning the proposal, Liu decided to take a chance. He reached out to Swift's publicist and asked whether she could record a short congratulatory message for Hsu. Swift agreed, sending the video within two days.

After proposing in Paris, Liu played the message for Hsu. She was overwhelmed. Liu later described Swift's involvement as the “cherry on top” of the proposal. India Today reported his account of the surprise, including his explanation that Swift's music had helped him understand Hsu better when they were first getting to know each other.

So Paris became more than the place where Liu asked Hsu to marry him. It became the setting for one of the most personal details of their relationship.

From “Us forever” to a wedding in France

After the engagement, wedding planning began. Liu spoke about the process publicly, joking about the costs while also describing it as largely joyful. He said good music and having loved ones around were important to the celebration. Hsu's professional life also gave the wedding story an interesting connection to music. She is a vice president of digital marketing at Interscope Records, according to PEOPLE.

And now, more than a year after that Paris proposal, the couple have reportedly taken the next step.

He proposed in Paris. Now Simu Liu and Allison Hsu are married in France

Look at the timeline and the symmetry is hard to miss. They went public in late 2022. They built a relationship largely away from constant scrutiny. In May 2025, Liu proposed beneath the Eiffel Tower and arranged a Taylor Swift surprise for his fiancée. And in October 2026, the story returned to France: this time for their wedding.

From “Us forever” in Paris to saying “I do” in France, Simu Liu and Allison Hsu's relationship has now reached the milestone that the couple had been building towards for more than a year.

The proposal had the Eiffel Tower. The surprise had Taylor Swift. The wedding had France. And the next chapter is theirs.
