Chris Hemsworth's Wife Elsa Pataky on Their Marriage, "I Don't Know How We Survived as a Couple"
Chris Hemsworth's wife Elsa Pataky opens up about their nearly decade-long marriage.
He might not be a great boyfriend in the Marvel Cinematic Universe but Chris Hemsworth is definitely a keeper in real life. The actor has been married to Ela Pataky for eight years now and is a father of three children. The two of them reside in Australia, the actor's native, away from all the Hollywood noise. Speaking to Vogue Australia about the initial days of marriage when she was getting used to him and fans were getting used to knowing him as Thor, she says, "In the beginning it was beautiful—when I met him he wasn't known at all and I grew with him and experienced all his successes and changes, and then he became just so huge and I've been sharing that, too."
She added, "Going through every moment and being there with him with every success was actually a good thing—we grew together. It's difficult when you go from being an unknown person to a very known person and all the changes that come with that." They had their first baby, India Rose, in less than a year of getting married. "We did everything very quickly—I don't know how we survived as a couple. We were married and then a year after we had kids," she told the magazine.

Adding about their married life, she says, "It puts a lot of pressure on a marriage, but we came out good because there is a lot of love between us and we are very strong personalities but love each other so much. We make it work. I think our years together have been great. Every marriage has ups and downs—it's constant work to be in a successful marriage and stay together forever. Chris' parents have been together all their lives, and that's such a beautiful thing, and their families are so close." What are your thoughts on this?
