While Liam Hemsworth has been a well-known Hollywood star for years, in part due to his high-profile past with ex-wife Miley Cyrus, it’s his current relationship with Australian model Gabriella Brooks that’s now stealing the spotlight.
Following a luxurious getaway in Ibiza, where Brooks was seen wearing a striking diamond ring, speculation about a possible engagement has started. But who is the woman who has captured the heart of the 'Hunger Games' actor?
Liam's love story with Gabriella:
Brooks, 29, and Hemsworth, 35, first sparked romance rumors in December 2019 when they were spotted having lunch with the actor’s parents in Byron Bay, Australia. Their quiet relationship unfolded following Hemsworth’s split from Cyrus.
Despite being regularly photographed together, the couple kept the intimate details of their romance under wraps. Brooks once called their bond “very sacred” during a 2021 interview with Stellar magazine. “My personal relationship is very, very important and very sacred to me… There are some things you just want to keep to yourself,” she said, later adding, “But he’s great. They are great. They are the most beautiful people and I’m very lucky to know them.”
Who is Gabriella Brooks?
Gabriella Brooks is far more than Liam Hemsworth’s girlfriend. Born and raised in Sydney, Australia, she was discovered as a model at just 14 years old. Since then, she’s carved out an impressive career, working with fashion giants like Louis Vuitton, Valentino, Calvin Klein, and appearing on the digital cover of Harper’s BAZAAR Australia.
In 2023, she made her runway debut at Australian Fashion Week. Brooks has become a staple on red carpets alongside Hemsworth. From the Sydney premiere of 'Poker Face' in 2022 to the 'Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga' premiere in London earlier this year.
Despite the growing public interest, Brooks and Hemsworth have kept their relationship grounded. They made their red-carpet debut in 2022 and have since attended several high-profile events together, including Wimbledon and the NGV Gala in Melbourne.
Brooks even moved in with Hemsworth in Los Angeles in 2021, further solidifying their relationship. Before dating Liam, Brooks had a four-year relationship with The 1975 frontman, Matty Healy. Their breakup occurred in 2019, the same year Brooks and Hemsworth were first linked.
Engagement rumors:
The couple’s most recent outing has fans excited. While celebrating Chris Hemsworth’s 42nd birthday aboard a yacht in Ibiza, Brooks was seen wearing what appeared to be a diamond engagement ring on her left hand.
Dressed in a short yellow summer dress with bare feet and a straw purse, she turned heads not just for her beach-chic outfit, but for the stunning ring. Brooks was photographed boarding with friends as Liam was casually dressed in a sleeveless white shirt and blue shorts.
The ring, thought to feature a princess-cut diamond on a white gold or platinum band, was clearly visible. If the ring confirms the engagement, fans may not be too surprised to see a Byron Bay wedding soon, as it is where the couple's romance first came to public attention.
