Prior to his romance with Bender, Liu was linked to fellow actor Tina Jung, though their relationship was neither confirmed nor denied by either person. According to The Sun, Liu reportedly met Jung in 2015 after the two had small roles in an episode of The CW's "Beauty and the Beast." Following their work on the TV show, they reunited in 2016 on "Kim's Convenience."
Liu and Jung went on to collaborate again less than a year after sharing the screen together. In 2017, the pair cowrote, produced, and starred in the short film "Meeting Mommy," which was released on YouTube in October of that year. On crafting the film's storyline together, Jung said in an interview with Ricepaper Magazine, "The idea for 'Meeting Mommy' came to us one night as we were brainstorming a project to do together . . . We threw a bunch of ideas around and landed on a story about a mother trying to raise her daughter despite knowing she couldn't physically be there. It eventually snowballed and we found ourselves crying as we kept adding more depth into this idea which later became 'Meeting Mommy.'"
After "Meeting Mommy" was released, many speculated that they had broken up, though not much else is known about their relationship.
