Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky's enduring love for each other has remained steadfast, despite the demands of parenting three children. According to an exclusive source in the latest issue of We, the couple enjoys embracing new experiences and having fun together. However, finding a balance between their careers and raising their daughter India, 11, and twin sons Sasha and Tristan, 9, has presented a significant challenge for them for a considerable period of time.
Hemsworth's career gained momentum in the early 2000s after starring in several projects in Australia. However, it was his portrayal of Thor in the 2011 superhero film that truly propelled him to stardom. Since then, he has not only reprised the role in various Marvel projects but has also established himself as a reputable action star in films like The Huntsman: Winter's War, In the Heart of the Sea, and the Extraction series, among others.

Pataky, aged 46, has achieved significant accomplishments in her acting career since the 1990s, notably starring in four movies of the Fast & Furious franchise. With their children growing older and gaining more independence, the couple is reported to be enjoying a closer bond than ever before.
In the midst of balancing his rising fame with the responsibilities of fatherhood, Hemsworth, now 39, made a startling discovery while filming his upcoming Disney+ series Limitless With Chris Hemsworth in 2022. He revealed to Vanity Fair in November 2022 that he carries a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer's disease, which increases his likelihood of developing the neurodegenerative condition in the future. According to Hemsworth, this revelation means he is "eight to 10 times more likely" to face the battle against Alzheimer's later in life.

The couple is currently relishing the opportunity to share their love for acting with their kids. They had the chance to do so when all three of them made appearances in Hemsworth's latest Marvel film, Thor: Love and Thunder, released in 2022. Pataky had a small role as one of Thor's former romantic partners, while Tristan briefly portrayed a younger version of the superhero in a montage scene.
The twins were part of the group of children who assisted Thor in his battle against Gorr the God Butcher (played by Christian Bale) in the film. India, on the other hand, portrayed Love, Bales' onscreen daughter, who Thor decides to adopt by the end of the movie.
