Liam Hemsworth Engaged to Gabriella Brooks After 5-Year Romance
A Love Story That Began in 2019
Liam Hemsworth and Gabriella Brooks have been romantically linked since December 2019, marking the beginning of a relationship that has now reached a significant milestone. The couple recently announced their engagement, sharing a series of photos on Instagram that showcased their happiness and excitement.
Brooks, 29, shared several images that highlighted her new ring, with the first photo featuring the pair in a black-and-white shot. In the image, the model is seen embracing Hemsworth, 35, from behind, with her arms wrapped around his chest and a noticeable sparkle on her finger. The second photo was a serene shot of the ocean with the sun in the sky, while the third photo was a close-up of Brooks' hand resting on a white sheet, focusing entirely on her dazzling diamond ring. She captioned the post with a simple white heart emoji, expressing her joy without words.
A Romantic Beginning
The couple first sparked rumors of a romance when they were spotted together in December 2019 at brunch with the actor's parents, Craig and Leonie, in Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia. They went public with their romance the next month when they were seen exchanging a kiss during a beach day in Byron Bay.
In June 2021, the couple went Instagram official, as Hemsworth shared a snapshot of him and Brooks with his brother Chris Hemsworth, Chris' wife Elsa Pataky, and Matt Damon's wife Luciana Barroso, at the Gold Dinner 2021 in Sydney. This marked a significant moment for the couple, as they began to share more about their relationship publicly.
Keeping Their Relationship Private
While Hemsworth and Brooks have kept their romance fairly private since going public, they have sprinkled tidbits about their relationship here and there. In an interview with Stellar Magazine published in December 2021, Brooks revealed that she and Hemsworth returned to Los Angeles after two years in their native Australia.
The model also opened up about why she keeps her personal life private. "My personal relationship is very, very important and very sacred to me," Brooks said, according to the Daily Mail. "And I feel like in an industry where so much is put out on show, there are some things you just want to keep to yourself."
"I completely understand [the interest]. But at the end of the day, I guess I just like having that for me," she added. "But he's great. [The Hemsworths] are great. They are the most beautiful people and I'm very lucky to know them."
A Second Chance at Love
This will be Hemsworth's second marriage. The Hunger Games alum was previously married to Grammy winner Miley Cyrus. Cyrus and Hemsworth met on the set of Nicholas Sparks' romantic drama The Last Song in 2009. They dated on and off for years before he proposed in 2012. The two ended their engagement and broke up a year later before reconciling in 2015.
They eventually married in December 2018, just a month after their Malibu, Calif., home burned down in the devastating California wildfires. Their union lasted less than a year, and after nearly a decade together and eight months of marriage, they ended their relationship for good in August 2019.
A Public Divorce
Shortly after news broke of their divorce, Cyrus addressed rumors of infidelity in a lengthy thread posted to X. “I can accept that the life I’ve chosen means I must live completely open and transparent with my fans who I love, and the public, 100% of the time,” the singer’s first post began. “What I cannot accept is being told I’m lying to cover up a crime I haven’t committed. I have nothing to hide.”
The "crime" would be cheating on Hemsworth; on the same day news broke of their split, Cyrus made headlines when she was spotted kissing Kaitlynn Carter, Brody Jenner’s ex, in Italy.
A Healthy Decision
Calling the breakup "a healthy decision for myself," Cyrus told her critics, "You can say I am a twerking, pot smoking, foul mouthed hillbilly but I am not a liar." The two finalized their divorce in February 2020.
