Liam Hemsworth, the Hunger Games star, and Australian model Gabriella Brooks are engaged, sparking a frenzy of excitement across social media. Brooks announced the news on September 12, 2025, with an Instagram post showcasing a dazzling antique diamond ring, captioned simply, “Forever.” The post, liked over 500,000 times, has X buzzing with fans celebrating the couple’s milestone after six years together.
The proposal unfolded during a romantic sunset walk on a Byron Bay beach, where Hemsworth, 35, got down on one knee. “You’re my forever Katniss,” he whispered, referencing his iconic role, according to a source close to the couple cited by People magazine. Brooks, 29, a rising star with Elite Model Management, wore a 3-carat antique-cut diamond ring set east-west on a yellow gold band, sourced from a Sydney jeweler known for vintage designs.
A Love Story Down Under
Hemsworth and Brooks met in 2019 at a mutual friend’s party in Byron Bay, hitting it off instantly. Their bond deepened during the 2020 lockdown, when they quarantined together at Hemsworth’s beachside home. “They’ve been solid ever since, keeping things private but real,” a friend told Vogue Australia. The couple’s low-key vibe—often spotted surfing or dining locally—contrasts with Hemsworth’s high-profile past, including his 2019 split from Miley Cyrus.
Fans on X erupted with joy, with @CelebTeaSpill posting, “Miley who? Liam and Gabriella are endgame!” The tweet, viewed 200,000 times, captured the sentiment of supporters rooting for Hemsworth’s fresh chapter. Others, like @HungerGamesFan, gushed, “That Katniss line is straight out of a rom-com!”
Wedding Whispers
While no date is set, sources hint at an intimate 2026 wedding in Australia, possibly at a coastal venue near Hemsworth’s family. “They want something small, surrounded by loved ones,” the People source shared. Brooks, who recently walked for Zimmermann at Paris Fashion Week, is expected to blend her modeling flair into wedding planning, with fans already speculating about her dress.
The engagement comes as Hemsworth prepares for a Hunger Games prequel press tour, while Brooks balances campaigns and her studies in ancient history. Their shared Aussie roots and laid-back charm have cemented them as a fan-favorite couple, with X posts like @LoveBites23 predicting, “This wedding’s gonna break the internet.” As congratulations pour in, Hemsworth and Brooks’ love story is proving to be their greatest role yet.
