Liam Hemsworth Says He’s “Incredibly Excited” About His Engagement to Gabriella Brooks 

Liam Hemsworth opens up about his engagement to model-actress Gabriella Brooks. Here’s everything we know about their proposal, their love story, and what newly engaged couples can learn from it (yes, just in time for Wedded Week).

“I’m incredibly excited,” he told host Savannah Guthrie on October 27. “It’s a happy time in life.”

The couple confirmed their engagement back in September with a black-and-white Instagram post, the kind that screams lowkey but in love. No fancy shoot, no cryptic captions. Just Gabriella’s elegant square-cut diamond ring and Liam’s grin. It’s simplicity at its most confident, which honestly fits the couple perfectly.

From “Just Friends” to Forever

Liam and Gabriella’s relationship has always been refreshingly normal for Hollywood standards. The two reportedly met through mutual friends in Australia back in 2019, and what started as an easy connection slowly turned into something deeper. 

The couple’s engagement didn’t happen on a red carpet or an elaborate getaway, though Liam did joke about “taking his hair off” after filming The Witcher when asked about a possible Maldives proposal. Instead, he proposed quietly “a few months ago.” And while the details are still under wraps, the emotion clearly isn’t.

Both Liam and Gabriella are private, grounded, and happiest away from the spotlight. They spend much of their time in Australia, surrounded by friends, family, and beaches, the same easygoing energy that first brought them together.

“They plan to get married in Australia,” a source shared to People. “It just feels right for them.”

And honestly? That’s the kind of energy couples everywhere are craving right now — quiet joy, grounded love, and a touch of sunshine.

Wedded Week Note: What Newly Engaged Couples Can Take From Liam & Gabriella

If your engagement feels more “soft launch” than “sparkle cannon,” you’re doing it right. Liam and Gabriella’s love story reminds us that weddings don’t have to be performative, they can be peaceful, private, and perfectly you.

As Wedded Week kicks off, couples around the world are diving into vendor promos, planning sessions, and dream-venue inspo but remember, the heart of every great wedding is the connection you bring into it. 

Whether you’re planning a barefoot ceremony on the coast or a candlelit ballroom dinner, authenticity always wins.
