Love is officially in the air for Liam Hemsworth and Gabriella Brooks. After years of keeping their romance private, the "Isn’t It Romantic" actor, 35, and the model, 29, have announced their engagement, and fans couldn’t be happier.
On Friday, September 12, Gabriella shared a series of heartwarming Instagram posts confirming the news. In one striking black-and-white photo, she posed alongside Hemsworth while proudly showing off her dazzling diamond ring. Another slide gave fans a closer look at the sparkler, which instantly stole the spotlight. The announcement was perfectly in line with how the couple has handled their relationship since rumors first swirled back in December 2019.

While their romance has been in the public eye, Liam and Gabriella have taken a decidedly low-key approach. They’ve shared only a handful of moments online, often during family gatherings with the Hemsworth clan.
In a candid December 2021 interview with Stellar magazine, Brooks opened up about her philosophy on keeping love private. “My personal relationship is very, very important and very sacred to me,” she said. “In an industry where so much is put out on show, there are some things you just want to keep to yourself.”

Back in May 2021, a source told Us Weekly that the pair was “getting serious.” The insider noted that while Liam and Gabriella weren’t flashy about their love, their inner circle knew just how committed they were.
“They’re not ones to make it known to the public, but their friends and family sure are in the know about how close they are,” the source revealed, adding that Liam was inspired by his brothers Chris and Luke Hemsworth’s lasting marriages. “He’s ready to be a husband — he just wants to be super confident in his relationship with Gabriella before he gets down on one knee.” Clearly, that moment of confidence arrived.

For Hemsworth, this engagement marks a brand-new chapter. The actor was previously married to Miley Cyrus for eight months before they split in 2019. Their rollercoaster romance began on the set of 2010’s "The Last Song," and though their marriage didn’t last, Hemsworth has since found stability and love with Brooks.
