Actor Liam Hemsworth has confirmed his engagement to Australian model Gabriella Brooks, marking a new chapter for the couple, who have maintained a deliberately private relationship since 2019.
Brooks announced the news early on Friday morning via Instagram with a tastefully curated carousel of black-and-white photographs. The announcement came in characteristic understated fashion for the couple, with the post including a black-and-white photo of Hemsworth and Brooks together following the proposal, as well as a close-up of her engagement ring and a dreamy photo of a sunset over the ocean waves.
The engagement ring itself has garnered significant attention from jewelry experts and fans alike. The bezel-set diamond appears to be an antique stone. Some reports have put the jewelry piece’s value at around $150,000.
The couple’s relationship timeline spans nearly six years, beginning when they were first linked in December 2019. They made their relationship Instagram-official in June 2021, though they have consistently kept their romance largely out of the public eye. The 35-year-old actor and the model, 29, shared the news on Friday, bringing to fruition speculation that began circulating last month when Brooks was spotted wearing what appeared to be an engagement ring during a vacation in Ibiza, Spain.
This engagement represents Hemsworth’s second foray into marriage. The Hunger Games star previously wed pop star Miley Cyrus in December 2018, following nearly a decade of on-and-off dating that captivated tabloid headlines. However, their union proved short-lived, ending in divorce less than a year later in 2019.
Brooks, an accomplished model in her own right, has built her own successful career in the fashion industry while supporting Hemsworth through various career transitions. The couple’s relationship has been notably stable compared to Hemsworth’s previous high-profile romance, with friends and industry insiders often commenting on their compatibility and shared Australian roots.
The announcement has been met with an outpouring of congratulations from fans and fellow celebrities on social media, with many praising the couple’s decision to keep their relationship authentic and grounded despite the pressures of the Hollywood spotlight.
As Hemsworth prepares for this new chapter, the engagement signals a significant milestone for both his personal life and his relationship with Brooks, who has proven to be a steadying influence during his post-divorce years. The couple has yet to announce wedding plans or provide details about the proposal, staying true to their preference for privacy in matters of the heart.
