Liam Hemsworth and Gabriella Brooks celebrated their engagement by sharing a romantic black-and-white photo, but not everyone was in a congratulatory mood.
The 35-year-old actor shared an image to Instagram showing his stunning fiancée wrapping her arms around him, proudly flashing her new diamond ring.
But while plenty of fans rushed to send their well wishes, others couldn’t resist bringing up his high-profile marriage to ex-wife Miley Cyrus.
‘Omg I thought she is Miley,’ wrote one follower.
‘I love Miley Cyrus!’ wrote another, alongside a red love heart emoji.
‘Miley Cyrus’s ex marries Miley Cyrus’s ex-dancer,’ commented another.

‘Congratulations Miley Cyrus’s ex-husband and Miley Cyrus former backup dancer,’ echoed a fourth.
‘When ur wife is your backup dance of your EX,’ wrote one more.
‘Damn Miley Cyrus’s ex husband and former backup dancer are engaged now…’ said another.
Elsewhere, others called out fans for being unnecessarily negative.
‘Why so many people following Liam just to hate on a happy moment?’ wrote one.
‘Yall on here bringing up Miley for what? People move on. If you not going to say congrats don’t comment,’ wrote another.
‘People it’s done. They’re getting married and likely having kids. She’s clearly what he wants after 6 years. You have to accept it or unfollow. There’s no going back for them now,’ commented one more.
The couple announced their engagement on Friday.

The first photo, in black and white, showed Gabriella cuddling up close to Liam as he sported a contented grin.
Another snap showed Gabriella flaunting the impressive diamond sparkler.
Gabriella captioned the images with a simple white love heart emoji.
The romantic post was met with a flurry of well wishes from friends and followers.
‘Yes! Engagement gainz,’ one excitedly wrote. ‘Massive congratulations to you and the big rig.’
Another chimed in with: ‘Congratulations Gabby, this is major!!! I remember the first time you talked about Liam and now look at the two of you! So happy for you.’
A third could barely contain their joy, adding: ‘Yes!!!!! Love, love, love this sooooo much. Eeeeeekkkk squeal!!! Yay!!!’
Liam found love again with Gabriella in late 2019, following his separation and later divorce from US pop star Miley Cyrus.
He confirmed his split with Miley in August 2019, with the couple finalising their divorce in January 2020 after less than a year of marriage.
The on-again-off-again couple first began dating in 2010 after meeting on the set of The Last Song and got engaged for the first time in May 2012.
However, they then split up in September 2013 before reuniting in 2016.
They went on to tie the knot in December 2018 before splitting for good just eight months later.

Liam is believed to have then started dating Gabriella in December 2019.
The couple were spotted kissing on the beach in Byron Bay earlier this month, in photos published at the time by New Idea.
After spending New Year’s Eve together, Liam and Gabriella couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they cuddled up on the sand.
They made their first red carpet appearance together in November 2020.
The ultra-private couple rarely post about each other on social media, and have only appeared in a handful of photos together.
Gabriella has carved out a career for herself as a model and made her catwalk debut at the 2023 Australia Fashion Week during the Cue fashion show.
Her debut was a landslide success, and Cue’s brand director Kate Bielenberg gushed over Gabriella’s talents at the time.
It comes after Gabriella was cruelly trolled after she wished her partner of five years a happy 35th birthday in January.
