Pataky, who has been married to actor Chris Hemsworth since 2010, lovingly captioned her images, “Memories from one of my favourite places in the world… Kenya. 🇰🇪” She described experiences such as riding horses across the Maasai Mara, viewing elephants up close, sharing laughter around a campfire, and waking up to the sounds of the African wilderness. She expressed gratitude to her companions for sharing in this adventure, noting, “Thank you to all my girls for sharing this adventure with me and celebrating together.”
In addition to India, the couple are proud parents to twin boys, Sasha and Tristan, who are 12 years old. Hemsworth, famed for his role as Thor, has a unique way of keeping his daughter close to him through his tattoos. During an appearance on the SmartLess podcast, he discussed the meaning behind some of his ink, specifically a Dr. Seuss tattoo that he had initially considered removing.
“My Dr. Seuss tattoo… I used to read that book to her a lot, and my mum read it to me,” Hemsworth recalled, explaining how the tattoo symbolises his bond with India. However, after some time, he found himself growing tired of the design and started the process of having it removed. This decision changed when India noticed the fading ink and expressed her love for it, prompting Hemsworth to keep it as a reminder of their shared moments.
Moreover, the actor shared how his daughter has also inspired other tattoos on his arm. He recounted a night with a tattoo artist when India, unable to sleep, started doodling. Hemsworth described how her simple drawings caught the artist’s eye, leading to them being immortalised on his skin. “I think her drawings are way cooler than anything we’re designing,” Hemsworth admitted, showcasing his dedication to celebrating his children’s creativity.
While promoting his recent film, **Crime 101** at its world premiere in Los Angeles, Hemsworth spoke about how his children perceive his acting career. When queried if he earns “cool points” from them as a global movie star, he playfully dismissed the notion, saying, “They don’t care. They don’t care at all.” He explained that while his children were initially impressed by his portrayal of Thor, their views have evolved over time.
“At first, when they realised I was Thor, they thought it was pretty cool,” he said. “Then they realised they couldn’t fly, and they thought it was less cool.” Now, as teenagers, they seem to have adopted a more casual attitude towards his career, often saying, “Ah, Dad, whatever.”
Despite their seemingly indifferent attitude, Hemsworth remains dedicated to his family above all. He often shares snippets of family life on social media, showcasing the joy and love that define their household. Pataky and Hemsworth’s snapshots of familial adventures reflect their efforts to maintain a sense of normalcy amid their high-profile careers.
The couple’s bond and commitment to their children are evident in their public appearances as well as personal anecdotes. More than a decade since they exchanged vows, Hemsworth and Pataky continue to navigate parenthood together, prioritising family moments while also supporting each other’s professional endeavours.
As Elsa Pataky and Chris Hemsworth embark on new adventures with their children, including recent trips abroad, their approach to parenting encourages a balance of work and family time, creating lasting memories for their kids, who remain the centre of their world.
