Canon
Nilou and Alhaitham have been seen together in a few official art and have interacted in the Sumeru Archon Quest. They were also seen next to each other in one of the Sumeru promotional videos on the Genshin Impact YouTube channel. In this video they were also seen giving Nahida gifts alongside other Sumeru characters.

Fanon
Hailou is very much a rarepair, being overshadowed by more popular ships for Nilou and Alhaitham. The two have almost no fanfiction or fanart. There are currently 4+ works of the pair on AO3. There is a little bit of fan art on Twitter. On TikTok, the two however have a decent amount of videos. Some fans of the ship freaked out when they were seen in together in one of the Sumeru promo video on official Genshin YouTube channel. Many fans hope to see them interact more in a future event or story quest. Nilou and Alhaitham were both leaked together alongside other characters from Sumeru, which made many fans assume they were going to be playable together. However out of the two, Nilou is the only one to be playable from the leaks.

Currently, for Nilou, the ship rivals Cylou, Ayanilou, and the ship between Dehya and Nilou. For Alhaitham, this ship rivals Kavetham and Cytham. Though there has been some people who ship Nilou and Alhaitham with Cyno as a poly ship but like Hailou the poly ship is also a rarepair.
