Simu Liu is finally talking about his dating life, but not in his own words. Since late June 2022, the Shang Chi actor has been linked to actress Jade Bender. And now it seems that the two have confirmed their relationship.
Are Simu Liu and Jade Bender Dating?
In a nutshell, they look to be dating. On July 20, 2022, Liu and Bender walked the red carpet together at the 2022 ESPY Awards. The duo even posed for photos beside one another. Liu dressed entirely in black for the event, wearing a black suit with a black unbuttoned shirt beneath and mirror-polished shoes to complete the outfit. Bender on the red carpet in a dazzling, off-the-shoulder gown with a hint of sheerness.
They were all smiling and leaning on each other as they posed for the cameras. After being seen leaving a West Hollywood restaurant together, Liu and Bender sparked dating speculations in late June 2022. They hopped in the same vehicle and drove away. After that, he invited her to Jimmy Kimmel Live! barely a week later.
But this isn’t a matter of two people getting to know one other. Following their after-dinner photos, fans dug into the actor’s background and believed that they had known one other since at least 2019. In 2019, the couple posed for photos at the Unforgettable Gala in Beverly Hills, California. With this appearance, the Shang Chi actor finally puts to rest the rumors about Bender being his girlfriend. Liu, who is known for keeping his love life private, may be hinting at being more open about his relationships. Not only does he confirm their connection, but he also affirms that he is not homosexual, as previously claimed.
Rumors of Simu Liu and Chrishell Stause Dating
There were reports in early 2022 that Liu was in a relationship with Selling Sunset actress Chrishell Stause. Their romance rumors started when he appeared on one of Selling Sunset’s season four episodes, in which she assisted him in finding a property in Los Angeles. Stause put the record straight regarding their connection during her appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in February 2022, after rumors spread like wildfire to the point that Andy Cohen inquired about it.
“This is a frequently asked question. Simu is only a buddy of mine, I have to add “Stause informed Cohen. She hadn’t even had a “friends with benefits” relationship with him. Prior to Stause, Liu had been connected to Kim’s Convenience co-star Tina Jung. However, none of them acknowledged the rumors.
