Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky are a Hollywood power couple, but their biggest role is being parents. Since tying the knot in 2010, the couple has welcomed three children together: daughter India Rose Hemsworth and twin boys Sasha Hemsworth and Tristan Hemsworth. While Hemsworth and Pataky are in the spotlight for their respective careers, they have been candid about wanting to give their kids a fairly normal upbringing. “I want them to have a great appreciation for everything,” the Marvel actor previously told. “I grew up with very little money, but my parents were my absolute heroes.
They were respectful, kind human beings and operated in a way that was constantly inspiring and nurturing and kind.” As a father, Hemsworth hopes to instill those same values in his kids. “Financially, we’re in a different position, but I want to make sure they know these things don’t come easy. You have to work for it, and you can’t take it for granted. Success is more about the values we have and the type. we are, rather than the material objects that we might obtain.
Hemsworth and Pataky’s eldest child and only daughter, India Rose, was born on May 11, 2012. In an interview with USA Today, the actor said they chose their daughter’s name out of their mutual love for the country of India, as well as their affinity for the name itself. “It was just a name we liked, I always kind of liked Indie or Indiana for a boy and she liked India,” Hemsworth later told E! News. “We sorta went, ‘Oh well, whether it’s a boy or girl that will decide.’ It just seemed to fit.” In Hemsworth’s 2022 film Thor: Love & Thunder, India made a special appearance as the character Love. “It’s really cool. They really wanted to be in it,” Hemsworth told entertainment reporter Kevin McCarthy about his kids’ roles in the film. “It felt like a one-off fun family experience. I don’t want them to now go and be child stars and actors. It was just a special experience we all had.
Hemsworth and Pataky welcomed twins Sasha and Tristan on March 18, 2014. “You are home! Tristan and Sasha came to this world on [Tuesday,] March 18 just after [the] full moon. Complete happiness,” Pataky wrote on Instagram. Like their father, who plays the God of Thunder in the MCU, the twins clearly have a love for superheroes. In March 2022, Hemsworth posted an adorable photo of the twins dressed up as mini Thors — hammer and all. “If you’re asking if they’re allowed to wear any other superhero outfits besides Thor the answer is no,” the actor teased in the caption. In fact, one of the twins actually plays a younger version of Thor in Thor: Love & Thunder. Both of the twins were also in attendance at the film’s premiere in Sydney, Australia, on June 27, 2022, as they held their dad’s hand on the red carpet.
Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky are still going strong after over a decade of marriage. The pair first met in 2010, and within months, they were husband and wife. Their fast engagement and nuptials came as a surprise to fans, but their relationship has withstood the test of time. Hemsworth and Pataky, a Spanish actress, went on to welcome three children. They’re parents to daughter India, who was born in 2012, and twin sons Tristan and Sasha, born in 2014. Ahead of the couple’s 10-year anniversary in 2020, Pataky opened up to Australian magazine body+soul about their marriage, saying that she and Hemsworth have “ups and downs” like any other relationship. “It’s funny that think of us as a perfect couple,” she shared. “No way. It’s been ups and downs, and we still keep working at the relationship.
