A year after announcing his split from then-wife Miley Cyrus, Liam Hemsworth has been quietly getting serious with a new girlfriend. In mid-December, Hemsworth was first linked to model Gabriella Brooks, marking his first major relationship since his August 2019 divorce from Miley Cyrus. In October of last year, he was spotted showing PDA with model/actress Maddison Brown in the West Village. It's unclear what caused that courtship to end.

Below, what to know about the latest lady in Hemsworth's life.

The couple is reportedly going strong less than a year into dating.

Us Weekly confirmed shortly after Brooks was spotted meeting Hemsworth's parents in Australia that the couple was in fact dating and had earned his family's support. “Liam feels comfortable with Gabriella,” a source told the outlet. “His family approves of her and really likes her, which is very important to him.” New Idea captured the first photos of the pair kissing on the beach in January 2020.

Around that time, a source told People that Brooks and Hemsworth were "getting serious." The insider explained, “Liam and Gabriella have spent a lot of time in Australia together. Gabriella has met Liam’s siblings and his parents.” Per the source, the couple has a lot of shared activities, including exercising, surfing, and relaxing at the beach and Hemsworth's friends approve.

By March 2020, an E! insider said Hemsworth is "excited about dating Gabriella," adding, "His family really likes her and they have a normal relationship without drama." The source also said that their personalities are compatible. "They can both just completely be themselves and take things at face value," the insider said. "She's low key and down-to-earth. So far it’s been very easy and fun."

Brooks helped Hemsworth truly move on after his divorce from Miley Cyrus.

A source told Entertainment Tonight in April 2020 that Hemsworth's relationship with Brooks really helped him get over the pain from his breakup and divorce from his last partner of 10 years, Miley Cyrus.

"While Liam's family has been a huge support since the breakup with Miley, it was Gabriella who made him realize there is life after Miley," the source said. "Gabriella is quiet, low key. She loves to be alone with Liam and isn't seeking attention from others. Gabriella is young but adores him. She gets along with his parents and his closest friends. The moment they started dating, they had incredible chemistry."

Brooks may have adopted a puppy with Hemsworth.

If a new report from the Daily Mail is to be believed, Brooks and Hemsworth may have adopted a French bulldog puppy together. The outlet published photos of the couple enjoying a day of shopping. At one point, Brooks reportedly headed into a food market while Hemsworth stayed in the car with the puppy. This would be the pair's first pet together. Hemsworth previously shared even dogs, two horses, two mini horses, three cats and a pig with Cyrus.

She’s met members of the Hemsworth family.

It's unknown how long exactly Brooks and Hemsworth have been dating, but she's reportedly met the parents. According to the Daily Mail, Hemsworth introduced Brooks to his father Craig and mother Leonie over lunch in Byron Bay, Australia on December 13. Photos show the 21-year-old smiling and hugging members of the family, alongside Hemsworth, before sitting down to a meal.

If Brooks's Instagram activity is any indication, this account of events could be true. On November 30, she captioned a series of photos, "Byron <3," suggesting she's been spending time in the area.

In July 2020, Brooks and Hemsworth were spotted hanging at Byron Bakery with the actor's older brother, Chris, by the Daily Mail.

She’s a fellow Aussie.

According to ELLE U.K., Brooks also calls Australia home. She's reportedly based in Sydney, studying ancient history and archaeology at Sydney University. A source told E! in March that the pair's shared home country has brought them closer. "The Australia connection is definitely nice for both of them," the source said. "She wants to be in Australia just as much as he does, and they both really enjoy being there and spending time with family and friends. He doesn't feel like he is being pulled away."

Brown, the last person Hemsworth was tied to, also hails from Down Under. As for their short-lived romance, a source told Us Weekly, “Liam and Maddison weren’t that serious and were mainly having fun together.”

She's a model.

According to the Daily Mail, Brooks is represented by modeling agencies Storm, Priscilla, and Next. In a January interview with It's Now Cool, she says that she was scouted and signed at the age of 14. She's modeled in campaigns for brands including Topshop, Calvin Klein, and Solid & Striped.

She used to date 1975 lead singer Matt Healy.

Like Hemsworth, Brooks is reportedly coming off of a long-term relationship. Over the summer, The Sun reported that Brooks and 1975 frontman Matt Healy split after nearly four years together. The outlet noted that while the couple made their public debut at the 2017 Brit Awards, they are believed to have been together since 2015. According to The Sun's source, there was "strain on their relationship, not helped by him being on tour a lot this year." As for their breakup, the insider claimed, "He parties a lot at home when he’s there and Gabby had just had enough. She doesn’t want to lead her life like that."

Brooks and Hemsworth don't follow each other on Instagram.

Those hoping this couple will go Instagram official may have to wait for awhile. Neither Hemsworth or Brooks follow each other on Instagram, nor do they like pictures on the other person's feed. This led to breakup rumors in May, with the Daily Mail citing that Hemsworth had unfollowed Brooks. But it isn't clear if these two ever followed each other to begin with. And in the months since that report, the couple has been spotted in Australia together.
