There’s a quiet contradiction at the heart of Gabriella Brooks’s public profile: a model who became a celebrity-news fixture without ever courting the attention, known primarily as the woman engaged to Liam Hemsworth, but also an actress, television personality and social-media influencer with a career that predates the relationship. This profile separates the confirmed facts from the speculation, tracing how a Byron Bay romance became one of Australia’s most-watched love stories.

How did Liam Hemsworth and Gabriella meet?
Long before the red-carpet photos, this was a relationship built in New South Wales beach towns, out of sight of the Hollywood press. The public record starts where the couple’s private life became impossible to hide.
The first encounter in Byron Bay
- First linked in December 2019: Brooks and Hemsworth were photographed together in Byron Bay, Australia — the moment People (celebrity-news outlet) marks as the start of the public timeline.
- The exact circumstances of how they met have never been publicly detailed by either of them.
By mid-January 2020 the coverage had moved past speculation: Brooks was photographed kissing Hemsworth on a Byron Bay beach on , and People reported the relationship was becoming serious (People (celebrity-news outlet)).
From friends to romantic partners
Roughly three years passed between the first Byron Bay photos in December 2019 and the couple’s first red-carpet appearance in November 2022 — a deliberately slow, Australia-centered courtship that skipped the usual celebrity publicity cycle.
When the pandemic hit, Hemsworth said he quarantined with Brooks on Phillip Island, off Australia’s southern coast (People (celebrity-news outlet)). It was a rare public comment about their home life — and a signal that the relationship had moved well past the early-dating stage.
Brooks addressed that privacy directly in a 2021 Stellar interview, saying she keeps her personal life close and does not discuss her relationship publicly, as reported by Cosmopolitan UK (women’s lifestyle magazine).
Public acknowledgment of their relationship
- June 2021: first official public appearance as a couple, at a children’s mental-health charity event in Sydney (People (celebrity-news outlet)).
- November 2022: red-carpet debut at the Australian premiere of Poker Face (People (celebrity-news outlet)).
The pattern: the couple skipped the standard celebrity circuit — no coordinated joint PR, no magazine-couple covers — and let a charity gala and a film premiere do the talking. Few celebrity couples have gone public with less staging.
What is the age difference between Liam Hemsworth and Gabriella Brooks?
The short answer is six years, with Hemsworth the elder — a gap small enough to be a non-story, yet one of the most-asked questions about the couple.
Liam Hemsworth’s age and birthdate
Born: January 13, 1990 · Age: 36 · Older than Brooks: by 6 years
Liam Hemsworth was born on , according to the relationship timeline compiled by Cosmopolitan UK (women’s lifestyle magazine).
Gabriella Brooks’ age and birthdate
- Born May 18, 1996 in Sydney, Australia, according to IMDb (film and TV database).
- That makes her 30 years old — six years younger than Hemsworth.
- The date doubled as a career milestone: Brooks made her runway debut at Australian Fashion Week on her 27th birthday in May 2023 (Elle (fashion magazine)).
How the age gap compares to other celebrity couples
A six-year gap is unremarkable by celebrity standards; the gap that matters is visibility. Brooks’s public footprint is a fraction of Hemsworth’s, which is why fans search for her basic biographical facts more than they debate the age difference.
The comparison that actually matters isn’t the calendar — it’s the paper trail. Hemsworth’s life is documented across nearly two decades of film premieres and interviews; Brooks’s biography exists mostly in database entries, a fashion-week debut and a handful of relationship photos. The implication: the six-year gap looks big only because the rest of Brooks’s public record is so small.
What does Gabriella Brooks do for a living?
The honest answer is that she works, but quietly. Brooks has built a professional life across modeling, a small screen credit and social media — without turning her personal life into the product.
Modeling career and agency representation
- Brooks made her runway debut at Australian Fashion Week in May 2023 (Elle (fashion magazine)).
- Her campaign history reportedly includes YSL Beauty, Chanel, Topshop and Solid & Striped (Marie Claire Australia (Australian fashion magazine)).
- People’s profile describes her as represented by agencies in multiple markets, including Elite in New York City (People (celebrity-news outlet)).
Acting and television appearances
IMDb occupation: Model · TV personality · Actress · Social-media influencer · Listed credit: Unremarkable (2018)
IMDb lists Brooks as a fashion model, television personality, actress and social-media influencer, with one listed acting credit to date: Unremarkable, a 2018 production featuring Harrison Webb (IMDb (film and TV database)). The credit is minor, but it confirms the “actress” label is more than a vanity title.
Brooks has one screen credit and one runway season — a deliberately thin public output for someone with her profile. That scarcity keeps brands interested, because attention is still the one thing she hasn’t oversupplied.
The trade-off: her earning power comes from visibility, but her appeal depends on staying scarce. The moment she floods the feed, she stops being interesting.
Social media influence and brand partnerships
- Brooks runs an active public Instagram presence under the handle @gabriella_brooks, mixing modeling posts with personal snapshots (Instagram (her official social profile)).
- Brand and campaign work, including beauty and swimwear labels, forms the commercial engine of her career (Marie Claire Australia (Australian fashion magazine)).
What ethnicity is Gabriella Brooks?
This is the question that generates the most searches and the least documentation — partly because Brooks has never made her ancestry a public topic.
Her Australian heritage
- Brooks is Australian by nationality and was born in Sydney, according to IMDb (film and TV database).
Family background and parents
- Details about her parents are scarce: neither parent has given a public interview about Brooks, and she has not shared family details in her own interviews.
- Brooks has reportedly studied archaeology and ancient history at the University of Sydney (Marie Claire Australia (Australian fashion magazine)).
Physical attributes and height
Height: 5 ft 9 in (175 cm) · Listed by: IMDb (film and TV database)
At 5 ft 9 in (175 cm), Brooks sits comfortably in the fashion-model range (IMDb (film and TV database)). It’s one of the few physical details that appears consistently across databases and interviews. The pattern: the public knows her height better than it knows her family, her ancestry, or her own account of how she met Hemsworth.
How much is Gabriella Brooks worth?
Short answer: no one knows with precision, and any article that gives you a single number is probably guessing.
Estimated net worth from modeling and endorsements
Reported net worth: $1–2 million · Primary income: modeling and brand deals · Verification status: unverified
Celebrity net-worth calculations are notoriously loose, and Brooks’s figures come from aggregators rather than financial disclosure. The commonly repeated range is $1 million to $2 million, built on runway appearances and campaign work (Marie Claire Australia (Australian fashion magazine)), plus social-media sponsorships (Instagram (her official social profile)) — income streams that are real, but whose totals are not publicly verifiable.
Comparison with Liam Hemsworth’s net worth
The widely repeated comparison — Brooks at $1–2 million versus Hemsworth at roughly $30 million — is a guess dressed up as a number. No public financial record supports either figure.
Directionally, the gap is real: Hemsworth has spent years headlining major studio films, while Brooks’s career is smaller by design and by scale. But the exact figures belong in the same category as her wedding date — widely speculated, never confirmed.
Factors influencing her wealth
- Modeling: runway debut at Australian Fashion Week, 2023 (Elle (fashion magazine)).
- Brand partnerships: beauty and fashion campaigns, including YSL Beauty and Chanel (Marie Claire Australia (Australian fashion magazine)).
- Social media: an active Instagram following at @gabriella_brooks (Instagram (her official social profile)).
The implication: Brooks’s value to brands is rising because she remains scarce — visible enough to sell product, private enough to stay interesting. That equilibrium, more than any dollar figure, is her real asset.
The relationship timeline: from private to public
- — Brooks is born in Sydney, Australia (IMDb (film and TV database)).
- — First photographed together with Hemsworth in Byron Bay; the relationship becomes public (People (celebrity-news outlet)).
- — Photographed kissing Hemsworth on a Byron Bay beach (People (celebrity-news outlet)).
- — The couple quarantines together on Phillip Island during the COVID-19 pandemic, a fact Hemsworth later confirms publicly (People (celebrity-news outlet)).
- — First official public appearance together, at a children’s mental-health charity event in Sydney (People (celebrity-news outlet)).
- — Red-carpet debut at the Australian premiere of Poker Face (People (celebrity-news outlet)).
- — Brooks makes her runway debut at Australian Fashion Week on her 27th birthday (Elle (fashion magazine)).
- — Engagement to Hemsworth reported; no wedding date has been announced (People (celebrity-news outlet)).
The pattern: every milestone in this relationship has happened on Australian ground — Byron Bay, Phillip Island, Sydney. The couple has effectively managed their entire public romance from one country, without the usual Hollywood machinery.
What’s confirmed vs. what’s still unclear
Sifting the record: some of Brooks’s biography is well documented, and some of it is repeated guesswork that has been copied from site to site.
Confirmed facts
- Brooks is an Australian fashion model, actress, TV personality and social-media influencer (IMDb (film and TV database)).
- She was born May 18, 1996, in Sydney and is 5 ft 9 in (175 cm) tall (IMDb (film and TV database)).
- She has been publicly linked to Hemsworth since December 2019 (People (celebrity-news outlet)).
- The couple’s first official appearance came in June 2021, and their red-carpet debut in November 2022 (People (celebrity-news outlet)).
- She made her runway debut at Australian Fashion Week in May 2023 (Elle (fashion magazine)).
What’s unclear
- Net-worth figures — including the repeated $1–2 million estimate — are unverified and vary by outlet.
- How Brooks and Hemsworth first met has not been described in detail by either of them.
- An engagement was reported in 2025, but no wedding date has been announced.
- Brooks’s ethnic background beyond “White/Caucasian” is not publicly documented, and she has not discussed it in interviews.
- The 2020 divorce from Miley Cyrus is public record, but neither party has given a full account of the split.
The split is instructive: the confirmed column is almost entirely biographical, while the unclear column contains everything about money, marriage and motives — the exact areas where celebrity coverage guesses the most.
In their own words
The couple rarely discusses the relationship on the record, which is exactly why the few comments they have made carry weight.
Brooks told Stellar in 2021 that she keeps her personal life close and does not discuss her relationship publicly — a position she has maintained ever since. Gabriella Brooks, Stellar interview (2021), as reported by Cosmopolitan UK (women’s lifestyle magazine)
Hemsworth confirmed in a rare comment that he and Brooks quarantined together on Phillip Island during the pandemic — one of the few glimpses he has offered into their home life. Liam Hemsworth, as reported by People (celebrity-news outlet)
The takeaway: two people, vast fame, very few words. That silence is the real story of this relationship — and the reason public appetite for details keeps growing.
The takeaway
Gabriella Brooks has spent years attached to one of Australia’s most famous names while steadily building a professional identity that exists apart from it. The runway debut, the selective brand portfolio and the single screen credit together paint a portrait of someone choosing a smaller, more controlled version of fame. If the wedding headlines come, they will be loud; the open question is whether her own body of work will be louder. For Brooks, the path is clear: keep stacking work that stands independent of Hemsworth’s last name, or let the engagement story write her biography for her.
This profile draws on published reporting from People, Elle, Marie Claire Australia, Cosmopolitan UK, IMDb and Brooks’s own social channels. Net-worth figures are estimates that vary by outlet.
