Miley Cyrus Recalls the Day She Decided Her Marriage to Liam Hemsworth Was "No Longer Going to Work"
“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. Gabriella is quiet, low-key,” a source told Entertainment Tonight in April 2020. “She loves to be alone with Liam and isn’t seeking attention from others.” Well! Then!!!!
Anyway! Things appeared to get very serious very quickly as the model even joined Liam and the Hemsworth fam for his brother Luke’s birthday in November 2020. The proof? Whelp, no need to look further than Chris Hemsworth’s Insta:
Since then, there have been many a hangout (and make-out), and we the people truly have not known peace since. On that note, if you’re also curious about all things Gabriella, whip out your best Sherlock Holmes ’fit and read below!
Both she and Liam came out of serious LTR's when they met
Aside from being a successful and stunning model, you might be interested to know that she dated The 1975 frontman Matthew Healy for four full years! Apparently, Gabriella and Matthew broke up in the fall of 2019, which means both she and Liam came off of long-term relationships at roughly the same time. The more you know!
They are Insta official
After remaining pretty low-key on Instagram, the couple showed up in not one, but two (!!!) photos together on Liam’s grid from the 2021 Gold Dinner charity event in Sydney.
“Fantastic night raising much-needed funds and awareness for one of the most important and challenging issues, children’s mental health,” the actor wrote at the time. “Thank you @itsmondotcom for hosting the evening and all you do for the Sydney children’s hospital @sydney_kids #golddinner.” S’cute!
Since then, these two have crept onto each other's feeds only a few times—but when they do, they look as loved up as ever. Ahem:
Their friends and family are tight
Liam is totally in with Gabriella’s friends and even photobombed a May 2021 pic of her pal Michele Merkin and sister-in-law Samantha Hemsworth.
She helped him move beyond his divorce
A source told Entertainment Tonight in April 2020 that Liam’s ’ship truly helped him get over the pain of his divorce from 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 insider said. “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.” Wowowow!
She’s also from Australia!
Gabriella is reportedly based in Sydney and studied ancient history and archaeology at school there, per Elle UK. A source also dished to E! in March 2020 that this commonality in particular brought the duo closer. “The Australia connection is definitely nice for both of them,” they said at the time. “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.”
They've spent the holidays together ❤️
On December 26, 2021, Liam posted several pics of himself and Gabriella on a super-cute vacation on his Instagram. The Daily Mail also added that on the Euro trip were Liam’s brother Chris Hemsworth and his wife, Elsa Pataky. Okay, so clearly the family approves! 🥺❤️
Since then, the fun trips haven't seemed to stop, and Gabriella most recently posted the following carousel while in a coastal town in England with the actor (peep the third pic!). So 😭 happy 😭 for 😭 them 😭😭😭.
There have previously been breakup rumors between Liam and Gabriella
Back in November 2022, there was a slew of rumors that the pair had broken up, which Liam and Gabriella went ahead and firmly shut down with a *chef's kiss* red carpet appearance.
And despite the couple rarely posting each other on social media, when Liam rang in his 33rd birthday on January 13, 2023, Gabriella celebrated by posting a pic of him in the ocean on her Instagram Story. “It's Liam day :),” she sweetly captioned the pic:
Interestingly enough, Miley released her forever iconic single “Flowers” on Liam's birthday, which, of course, everyone almost immediately read into...especially since fans think the lyrics are about him, too. For more on that, head right on over this way:
