Liam Hemsworth and Gabriella Brooks Announce Engagement

Australian actor Liam Hemsworth, widely known for his roles in major film franchises such as "The Hunger Games," has announced his engagement to Gabriella Brooks. The couple shared their news on Instagram, where Brooks posted a photo of herself and Hemsworth, her hand adorned with an impressive diamond on a yellow gold band. The announcement included a serene image of the ocean, hinting at a possible beach proposal, a detail that has since captivated fans around the world .

Brooks, a 29-year-old Sydney model, and Hemsworth, 35, have been a couple since 2019, following Hemsworth’s high-profile separation from singer Miley Cyrus. Their relationship has been documented through various public appearances, including red carpet events and holidays in Western Australia. The pair celebrated Brooks’ 25th birthday in 2021 with a trip to Horizontal Falls in the Kimberley region, and recent photos of Brooks wearing her new ring in Ibiza had already prompted speculation about an engagement .

Hemsworth and Brooks’ engagement has been met with an outpouring of support from celebrities, fans, and the wider community. Among the first to congratulate the couple on Instagram were Australian model Jessica Gomes and actor Lukas Gage, reflecting the couple’s wide-reaching appeal across different cultures and entertainment circles .

Since beginning their relationship, Hemsworth and Brooks have largely maintained a respectful balance between privacy and public life. They have attended industry events together but have seldom commented directly on their romance, choosing instead to let their actions and appearances speak for themselves. The recent engagement announcement was delivered in the couple’s signature understated style, with no elaborate caption or media statement—just meaningful images and a subtle nod to their shared journey so far .

Their commitment to privacy is also evident in their plans for the future. Last year, Hemsworth reportedly submitted plans to build a $14.6 million home in Newrybar, near Byron Bay, close to family members including his brother Chris Hemsworth. The move reflects a desire to stay connected to their Australian roots and to create a home base that values both family and community .

Celebrity engagements often spur broader conversations about love, partnership, and the changing landscape of relationships in the public eye. For many LGBTQ+ individuals and allies, Hemsworth and Brooks’ announcement is a reminder of the importance of authentic personal expression—and of the ongoing work to ensure that such milestones are accessible to all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
