Liam Hemsworth and Gabriella Brooks's Relationship Timeline Is Mysterious but Adorable

Though it's unclear when Hemsworth and Brooks actually met, the latter reportedly connected with the actor's parents, Craig and Leonie, on Dec. 13 while visiting Byron Bay. The two were seen on what appeared to be a lunch date with Hemsworth's parents at The Roadhouse restaurant, and from the looks of photos published by The Daily Mail, Brooks was quick to fit in with the Hemsworth clan.

A source claimed to E! News that the two refrained from acting too handsy during lunch. "They did not show off any PDA," the insider said, "but the two did go back to Liam's house after the restaurant." Brooks also shared a photo on Instagram on Nov. 30 from Byron Bay, which she simply captioned, "Byron," with a heart symbol.

A week after their supposed lunch date, Us Weekly reported, per a source, that Hemsworth's brief romance with "Dynasty" star Brown was nothing more than a fling. "Liam and Maddison weren't that serious and were mainly having fun together," the source said. They also said that the actor was "happy to be moving on" after his divorce from Cyrus. "Liam feels comfortable with Gabriella," the source claimed, adding, "His family approves of her and really likes her, which is very important to him."

On Jan. 2, Brooks and Liam's mutual friend, Silvia Serra, shared a series of photos from a New Year's Eve celebration in Bryon Bay. The sixth and seventh photos feature Brooks in a couple of group shots, while the ninth photo in the series includes Chris Hemsworth creeping in the back of a group photo. Chris' wife, Elsa Pataky, is also featured in several photos. Though Liam isn't pictured at all, we can't help but suspect that he was also present for the festivities. Five days later, Brooks shared two pictures on her own page of just her and Silvia from the party.

A few weeks into the new year, New Idea shared photos of Hemsworth and Brooks engaging in some major PDA on a Byron Bay beach, making their relationship pretty damn clear. The two spent their Jan. 13 beach date goofing around in the water and cuddling on the sand, looking totally loved up.

Just two days after their beach-date make-out sesh, People reported that things were starting to get serious with Hemsworth and his new lady. "Liam and Gabriella have spent a lot of time in Australia together," a source revealed to the outlet. The insider also confirmed that the two share similar interests — such as exercising, surfing, and hitting up the beach — and that Hemsworth's friends all approve of her. "Liam has been in a great mood," they added.

Toward the end of January, Hemsworth and Brooks were photographed on a casual breakfast date at Soho House in Malibu, per The Daily Mail. The two were spotted looking cute while waiting at the valet stand outside of the exclusive eatery.

The duo packed on the PDA for a second time in February outside of a gym in LA, where Hemsworth was wearing workout clothes and Brooks seemingly met up with him after his sweat sesh. The two were photographed in an embrace while sharing a few kisses, per E! News.

That same month, The Daily Mail reported that the couple were spotted on a dinner date at Terroni restaurant in West Hollywood and — just a day later — on a lunch date in LA after Hemsworth returned from another gym session.

Early on during the COVID-19 pandemic, Hemsworth revealed in an interview with People that he was, at the time, quarantining with Brooks in his hometown Phillip Island, Australia. Though he didn't name-drop his girlfriend, the actor told the outlet that the two passed the time by playing board games. "I used to play with my grandma when I was a kid. She loved Scrabble," he said. "It made me nostalgic and brought back memories."

After two years of dating, Hemsworth and Brooks finally made their romance Instagram official by posting a photo of them at the Gold Dinner 2021 in Australia — which also happened to be their first joint public appearance as a couple. The pair were photographed with Hemsworth's brother Chris; Chris's wife, Pataky; and Matt Damon's wife, Luciana Barroso. "Fantastic night raising much needed funds and awareness for one of the most important and challenging issues, children's mental health," Hemsworth captioned his post. "Thank you @itsmondotcom for hosting the evening and all you do for the Sydney children's hospital @sydney_kids #golddinner."

Shockingly enough, Hemsworth and Brooks hadn't made a red carpet appearance at any point during their three-year romance until the Nov. 15 premiere of the actor's "Poker Face" film. Breakup rumors swirled this past summer, but they put those to rest when they were photographed together on the red carpet.
