Actor Liam Hemsworth continues to express immense joy regarding his engagement to model Gabriella Brooks.

The 35-year-old Hemsworth confirmed the happy news during his Monday, October 27 appearance on the Today show, revealing he proposed to Brooks, 29, “a few months ago.” He shared, “I’m incredibly excited. We’re super excited. It’s a happy time in my life.”

Brooks initially shared news of their engagement on Instagram on September 12, featuring stunning photographs that highlighted her exquisite engagement ring. Her post was simply adorned with a white heart emoji.

Who Is Gabriella Brooks? A Closer Look at Liam Hemsworth's Model Fiancee

The relationship between Hemsworth and Brooks first drew public attention in December 2019, when they were seen enjoying lunch with the Hunger Games star’s parents in Byron Bay, Australia. An exclusive source confided in Us Weekly then that Hemsworth felt a sense of ease with Brooks. The pair subsequently quarantined together during the COVID-19 pandemic, with another insider informing Us at that time that Hemsworth was content to “spend his downtime with Gabriella.”

Though Hemsworth and Brooks have largely maintained privacy around their relationship, they have occasionally offered glimpses of their romance on social media, often showcasing Hemsworth’s family. Brooks lauded her now-fiancé’s relatives in a 2021 interview with Stellar, describing them as “great.” (Liam’s family consists of parents Leonie and Craig Hemsworth, alongside elder brothers Luke and Chris Hemsworth.)

“They are the most beautiful people and I’m very lucky to know them,” she conveyed to the publication.

Addressing her inclination for privacy concerning her relationship with Liam, Brooks remarked, “My personal relationship is very, very important and very sacred to me. And I feel like in an industry where so much is put out on show, there are some things you just want to keep to yourself. I completely understand [the interest in our relationship]. But at the end of the day, I guess I just like having that for me.”

That same year, an insider informed Us that Liam and Brooks’ relationship had grown “getting serious.”

The insider commented at the time, “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 and how an engagement can be right around the corner.” The source continued, “Liam looks up to his brothers and would love to one day also have that long-lasting marriage with a partner. 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!”

A Retrospective on Liam Hemsworth's Dating History: From Miley Cyrus and Beyond

Liam was formerly wed to Miley Cyrus for an eight-month period, spanning from December 2018 to August 2019. The former couple, whose on-again, off-again romance began after they met on the set of The Last Song in 2010, concluded their divorce proceedings in January 2020.

In March 2020, a source indicated to Us that Liam’s connection with Brooks distinguishes itself from his previous romance with Cyrus, 32.

The insider elaborated, “He feels more at home with Gabriella than he did with Miley and feels like he can be his complete self without any drama.” They added, “Gabriella helped Liam boost his confidence and played an encouraging role in his life after his split with Miley. They are very happy together and it’s comfortable and easy.”
