Inside Liam Hemsworth and Gabriella Brooks’ big engagement reveal

After weeks of whispers, Gabriella Brooks has finally confirmed the news everyone was waiting for: she and Liam Hemsworth are engaged. The 29-year-old model took to Instagram with a soft and simple post; two tender photos and a single white heart emoji. One shot showed her resting her hand on Liam’s chest, her diamond ring sparkling front and centre. In the next, she treated fans to a close-up of the ring itself, a classic yet striking piece that stole the spotlight without a wordy caption.

Liam and Gabriella’s story began in late 2019, not long after his highly publicised split from pop star Miley Cyrus. Their first public outing came that December, when Gabriella joined Liam and his parents for brunch in Byron Bay. By mid-2021, the couple quietly made their relationship Instagram official in a group photo from Sydney’s Gold Dinner, standing alongside Chris Hemsworth, Elsa Pataky, and close friends Matt Damon and Luciana Barroso.

What has always set their romance apart is its easygoing vibe. Friends have often described Gabriella as down-to-earth and low-key, exactly the kind of calm presence Liam seemed to be looking for after years of tabloid frenzy.

After Miley, a Different Kind of Love

Liam’s past with Miley Cyrus was famously dramatic. The pair married in 2018 after nearly a decade of on-and-off dating, only to separate eight months later. Their whirlwind relationship kept fans guessing, but when it ended in 2019, Liam shared a simple message on Instagram wishing Miley “health and happiness.”

Life with Gabriella has been the opposite, steady, private, and warmly embraced by the tight-knit Hemsworth family. Insiders say Gabriella fits right in, spending holidays with the clan and sharing Liam’s love for Australia. Compared to the intensity of his past, this chapter feels grounded and full of quiet confidence.

With their engagement now official, Liam Hemsworth and Gabriella Brooks are stepping into their next chapter without the drama of the past, just a sparkling ring, the blessing of family, and a love story that has quietly stood the test of time.
