Liam Hemsworth has finally opened up about his engagement to Gabriella Brooks, revealing how his demanding schedule filming Netflix’s “The Witcher” led to a carefully chosen “right moment” for his proposal, culminating in a romantic Maldives celebration. This definitive guide delves into the details of their engagement, the journey of their relationship, and the impact of Hemsworth’s career on their personal milestones.
In a candid revelation that has thrilled fans, Liam Hemsworth, the 35-year-old Australian actor, has shared intimate details about his engagement to longtime love, model Gabriella Brooks. The couple publicly announced their engagement on social media just last month, in September 2025, sparking widespread excitement.
Hemsworth’s proposal wasn’t a grand, pre-planned event, but rather a carefully timed decision influenced by his demanding work schedule. He revealed that he popped the question a few months ago, while still deeply immersed in filming the highly anticipated Season 4 of “The Witcher”, where he steps into the iconic role of Geralt of Rivia, succeeding Henry Cavill.
The Quest for the ‘Right Moment’ Amidst Witcher Filming
During an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, Liam Hemsworth elaborated on the challenges of finding the perfect opportunity to propose. He confessed to Fallon, “We got engaged a few months ago whilst I was still shooting The Witcher.”
The actor explained the extensive commitment to the Netflix fantasy series, stating, “I’ve been shooting The Witcher now for the last two years. I didn’t have a huge plan behind the engagement. I mean, I had enough of a plan to have bought the ring, but I was sort of just waiting for the right moment.”
When pressed by Fallon if he indeed found that ideal moment, Hemsworth quipped with a smile, “I think so. Um, she said yes.” His humble yet heartfelt response resonated with fans eager for details of this significant milestone in his life.
The intensity of “The Witcher” production meant that celebrating their engagement had to be put on hold. It wasn’t until Hemsworth wrapped up filming the series, approximately three weeks prior to his October interviews, that the couple could finally embark on a celebratory getaway to the picturesque Maldives.
A Sacred Relationship: Gabriella Brooks on Privacy and Family
While Liam Hemsworth has recently opened up about their engagement, Gabriella Brooks, 29, has consistently emphasized the importance of privacy in their relationship. Speaking to Australia’s Daily Telegraph’s Stellar Magazine in December 2021, she stated, “My personal relationship is very, very important and very sacred to me.”
Brooks acknowledged the public’s interest in their romance but reiterated her desire to keep some aspects for themselves. “I completely understand [the interest in her relationship]. But at the end of the day, I guess I just like having that for me,” she added, highlighting her commitment to maintaining a personal boundary in the often-scrutinized world of celebrity relationships.
The connection with Liam’s family, including his famous brothers Luke and Chris Hemsworth, has also been a significant part of their journey. A source close to the couple revealed that Liam’s family adored Gabriella from the outset. “His family loved her right away. She’s very sweet and genuine,” the source told People. This warmth and acceptance reportedly led his family to encourage Liam to propose for a considerable time.
From Past Chapters to a New Beginning
Liam Hemsworth’s relationship with Gabriella Brooks began in December 2019, following a period of significant personal change for the actor. He had recently separated from pop star Miley Cyrus, to whom he was married for eight months from December 2018 to August 2019. Their divorce was finalized in January 2020.
Meeting Gabriella through mutual friends in Australia, where they both grew up, marked a fresh start for Liam. While he initially hesitated to jump into a new relationship so soon after his separation, he was drawn to Gabriella’s genuine nature. A source exclusively told Us Weekly that Gabriella played a pivotal role in helping Liam regain his confidence post-split. “He feels more at home with Gabriella than he did with Miley and feels like he can be his complete self without any drama,” the source shared, emphasizing the comfort and ease they found together, as reported by Us Weekly.
This engagement signifies not just a personal milestone for Liam and Gabriella, but a testament to a relationship built on privacy, mutual support, and deep family bonds, away from the glare of intense public scrutiny that often accompanies Hollywood romances. Fans eagerly await further glimpses into their journey as they move toward marriage.
