Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky’s Sweetest Family Moments With Their 3 Kids

While Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky’s whirlwind romance was always something special, their relationship continued to bloom after they welcomed their three children.

The Marvel star and the model tied the knot in 2010 after less than a year of dating. Two years later, they became a family of three with the birth of their daughter, India, in May 2012. Less than two years later, the family grew even more when they welcomed twin boys, Tristan and Sasha, in March 2014.

“Once we had kids we were like, ‘We’re in it, this is it.’ All of a sudden I had a greater appreciation for my wife, she kind of came into her own when we had kids,” he told WHO magazine. “She certainly keeps me sane. I complain about things, she gets on with it.”

After Pataky asked fans to pick who was the cutest in a photo of her and her husband holding koalas with one of their children in 2018, commenters responded that they simply couldn’t choose.

“Happy Mother’s Day to all the brilliant, hardworking, kid carrying, bar raising, husband-putting-up-with-ing woman [SIC] out there!! We salute you 👏💗🙏,” he wrote alongside a photo of the Fast Five actress carrying all three of their kids.

Pataky shared a sweet snap with one of the twins, showing the mother-son pair snuggling while she tried to read a book.

“When my ME moment becomes US moment,” she captioned the June 2021 Instagram post.

“My wife and I designed the ultimate family workout. All you need is a child, a skateboard, a horse and a Can Do attitude,” Hemsworth wrote via Instagram in July 2021. Alongside the caption, he shared a pair of videos. In one, he held hands and ran with India while she stood on a skateboard. In the second, Pataky ran alongside their daughter while she rode a pony.

“Don’t try this at home,” the Avengers: Infinity War star wrote via Instagram in December 2021 as his son shot a rubber arrow over his head to tip over a water bottle. The tiny archer didn’t hit the mark on his first try, though. The actor added, “Took 63 shots in the back of the head before nailing it. Worth it. This stunt was performed by a couple lunatics with complete disregard for their own safety.”

The Snow White and the Huntsman actor joked about how his little ones helped him test out his latest fitness regimen by crawling all over him in February 2022. “As Founder of @centrfit, I take my role in personally trying out every program seriously,” he captioned a series of Instagram photos of his kids using him as a human jungle gym. “This one was a full body and emotionally taxing workout specifically designed for parents. It didn’t make the cut.”

The family hit the beach while on vacation in Spain. The family hit the beach while on vacation in Spain. The trip came right after a source exclusively told Us that Hemsworth and Pataky finally found their stride as parents.  

“They’ll be the first ones to tell you, it was really hard in the beginning,” the insider told Us. “The kids were still in diapers and Chris’ career was taking off — he was working nonstop.”

Now that their kids are growing up and becoming more independent, Hemsworth and Pataky are “closer than ever.”

“New Years [in] the snow with my love[d] ones,” Pataky wrote via Instagram, sharing photos from the group’s ski gateway. “Happy New Year to all of you.”
