  "account": "Los Angeles - Simu Liu, the actor known for his role in Shang-Chi, believes his late grandparents were watching over him during his wedding ceremony in France. The 37-year-old star married Allison Hsu, a digital marketing vice-president at Interscope Records, on October 3rd at the 17th-century Château d'Estoublon in Provence. Unpredictable weather had threatened the outdoor ceremony, but the rain stopped exactly as Hsu walked down the aisle. For Liu, the sudden break in the weather felt deeply personal, as his grandparents, whom he called yeye and nainai, had passed away from Covid-19 in 2021 when he was four and a half. He told Vogue magazine that the timing and \"gentle droplets\" of the rain felt like a sign that they were watching over him. The couple met at a Fourth of July barbecue in 2022, and Liu proposed in Paris in May 2025.",
