Liam Hemsworth introduces Sydney model Gabriella Brooks to his parents in Byron Bay

Liam Hemsworth has sparked rumours of a romance with Australian model Gabriella Brooks, after introducing the brunette beauty to his parents Craig and Leonie in Byron Bay.

The 21-year-old stunner appeared to hit it off with the 29-year-old actor’s mother and father as the group got to know each other over a family lunch, last Friday. 

In October, Liam was linked to actress Maddison Brown, 22, after they enjoyed a date in New York, but it appears nothing progressed between the pair.

Throughout the lunch, Gabriella struggled to wipe the smile off her face as she got to know Liam’s family, taking a seat next to The Hunger Games star at the table. 

It is unclear how Liam and Gabriella know each other. 

The model, who is from Sydney’s Northern Beaches, shared a picture of a beach in Byron Bay to Instagram on December 1, cryptically captioning it with a heart.

In October, Liam was spotted kissing actress Maddison Brown on a date in New York.

He announced his split from estranged wife Miley Cyrus in August, just eight months after their secret wedding at her $8.2 million Tennessee mansion.

‘This is a private matter and I have not made, nor will I be making, any comments to any journalists or media outlets,’ said Liam of the split at the time. 

Meanwhile, Miley enjoyed a whirlwind romance with Kaitlynn Carter following their break-up, before embarking upon a relationship with Australian singer, Cody Simpson.   

The former couple are reportedly finalising their divorce, with Liam allegedly hiring high-profile Hollywood divorce lawyer, Laura Wasser.
