Simu Liu announces engagement to girlfriend Allison Hsu

'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.

Video: Owner Proves Why Their Cat Deserves a Birthday Party

You know you're deep into the pet-parent lifestyle when your cat has a better birthday bash than you've had in years. For many, pets are more than animals; they're children with fur, and their birthdays are just as sacred. That is precisely the message behind a video featuring Ollie the cat, who recently celebrated his birthday party in the most adorable and over-the-top way. A video shared on the Instagram account @diaryofollie shows a British Shorthair named Ollie being treated to a birthday celebration that would make any pet (or human) jealous. The clip opens with the text, 'Why would anyone throw a birthday party for their cat?' followed by a nod to the popular meme format, 'God forbid a girl treats her cat like her child.' Ollie is ready for the occasion in a festive party hat and a special birthday collar that reads 'Happy Birthday.' His owner also decorated the space around him with balloon letters spelling out the same, making it clear this wasn't just a random treat but a full-on event. In front of Ollie is a cat-friendly birthday cake, complete with a single lit candle. The caption reads simply, 'Just a cat living his best life,' and judging by the comments, many viewers agree that Ollie has it pretty good. Several viewers wished the pampered feline a happy birthday in the comments. One commenter wrote, 'They are our babies,' while another added, 'Ollie deserves only the best,' as if he were feline royalty — which, let's face it, he probably is. One comment summed up the vibe best: 'Who else deserves it more? They love us unconditionally every single day.' After all, if anyone deserves balloons, cake, and a custom birthday collar, it's the cat who rules the house. The post Video: Owner Proves Why Their Cat Deserves a Birthday Party appeared first on CatTime.
