Liam Hemsworth is engaged to his girlfriend of nearly six years, Gabriella Brooks.
The 35-year-old Lonely Planet actor and his fiancée, 29, made the news public on Friday with model Gabriella uploading pictures, which included a snap of her generously sized diamond engagement ring.
She also shared a black and white shot of her and Liam posing together, with her wrapping her arms around his neck and torso, resting her left hand with its new dazzling accessory on his chest.
Her ring features a square-shaped knuckleduster-sized diamond on a plain yellow gold band.
A third shot showed a gorgeous picture of the sun over the ocean, perhaps a place special to the couple.
Gabriella simply shared a white heart emoji in the caption, as friends rushed to congratulate the duo on taking the next step.
‘YESSSS!! ENGAGEMENT GAINZ! MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AND THE BIG RIG 🥳 ❤️🙌❤️,’ responded British swimmer Ross Edgley, while model Jessica Gomes added: ‘Congratulations!! 🌹🌹🌹’
‘Congratulations Gabby, this is major!!! I remember the first time you talked about Liam and now look at the 2 of you! So happy for you 🤍🤍🤍,’ wrote make-up artist and pal Molly Warkentin.
Model Gabriella, who has worked for the likes of Calvin Klein and Top Shop, is understood to have met Liam towards the end of 2019, after he moved back to Australia following his split from Miley Cyrus.
The couple have kept their relationship under the radar, with one comment from a fan even complaining: ‘YAS! Congrats!!! Lowkey tho [sic] why hasn’t he posted a single photo of you? Tell the mans [sic] to step up 😂’
But as many rushed to point out, that is exactly how the couple likes it – low key.
‘My personal relationship is very, very important and very sacred to me,’ Gabriella told Australia’s Daily Telegraph’s Stellar magazine of her blossoming relationship with Liam in December 2021.
‘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 in our relationship]. But at the end of the day, I guess I just like having that for me.’
The Witcher star was previously married to chart-topper Miley, 32, for just eight months, from December 2018 to August 2019, finalising their divorce in January 2020.
It was claimed just last year that the couple weren’t particularly interested in getting married, particularly because of the duration of Liam’s first marriage.
A source told Us Weekly magazine in July 2024: ‘They have no plans on getting married anytime soon – and perhaps, not at all.
‘Liam didn’t have a good experience the first time around. And it’s not something he thinks of in a positive light.’
Miley – who made a cheeky dig at her ex recently – and Liam famously fell in love on the set of the 2010 movie The Last Song and the Wrecking Ball singer previously recalled the ‘undeniable’ chemistry she had with her future husband.
She said in a series of TikTok videos: ‘In 2008, I needed to do another feature film for Disney, and I didn’t want it to be a part of Hannah Montana.
‘Once we had written the screenplay, it was time to audition all the guys who would play Will, my boyfriend in the movie. We had gotten it down from thousands to the final three, and Liam was a part of that final three.
‘I think one of the elements that made that movie feel so special was it was watching two very young people fall in love with each other, which was happening in real time and in real life, so the chemistry was undeniable. And that was the beginning of a long, ten-year relationship.’
In 2023, Miley burst back onto the music scene in a big way with her fist-pumping, Grammy Award-winning Flowers, which included heavy nods to Liam and celebrated single life.
She has been in a relationship with Liily drummer Maxx Morando since late 2021 after they were set up on a blind date.
