Hollywood star Chris Hemsworth has publicly addressed persistent rumours about the state of his marriage, offering a candid glimpse into his relationship with wife Elsa Pataky. The Actor, 42, married the Spanish actress in December 2010 after a whirlwind three-month romance, and the couple have now been together for over 14 years.
The Key to a Lasting Partnership
Speaking on the On Purpose podcast hosted by Jay Shetty, Hemsworth explained that the foundation of their enduring union is surprisingly simple: 'having fun'. He emphasised that both he and Pataky share an adventurous spirit, and that consciously making time for one another has been crucial.
'The complicated times have been when it's been all work, all kids, and all of a sudden the "us" in the relationship is … sort of non-existent,' Hemsworth confessed. He noted that they navigate these challenges by 'removing ourselves from all of that and just having time for the two of us', as well as by making each other laugh.
'There's always that spark, that attraction,' he added, 'but what it comes down to is friendship and companionship in the end.'
A Loved-Up Display Amidst Speculation
Despite constant speculation about a potential split, the couple presented a united front in November at an intimate screening for Hemsworth's new Disney+ documentary, A Road to Remember. The event marked their first joint red carpet appearance in several months.
Hemsworth shared photos from the evening on social media, showing the pair looking affectionate. He wore a brown three-piece suit, while Pataky, 49, looked radiant in a green maxi dress. The actor's tribute extended to his family, who feature in the National Geographic-produced film, which chronicles his father Craig's battle with early-onset Alzheimer's.
'Surreal experience spending time with family and friends last night,' Hemsworth wrote on Instagram. He expressed pride in the project and special gratitude for his parents, Craig and Leonie, for their 'vulnerability and grace'.
A True Family Affair
The screening was a family-centric event. Hemsworth's brothers, Liam and Luke, were also in attendance. The actor posted a photo with his 11-year-old twin sons, Tristan and Sasha, though their 13-year-old daughter, India, was not pictured. By sharing these personal moments and openly discussing the workings of his marriage, Chris Hemsworth has firmly put recent split rumours to rest, showcasing a relationship built on friendship, adventure, and dedicated time for each other.
