Chris Hemsworth reflects on what he considers the “complicated times” in his longtime marriage with Elsa Pataky. During an appearance on a podcast, he described Pataky and him as “adventurous spirit(s)” who make a conscious effort to make time for one another. However, he noted that things tend to get tricky when they are balancing parenting with their demanding professional lives, which slowly overshadows the sense of “us” in their relationship.
Chris Hemsworth reflects on 15 years of marriage with Elsa Pataky
During a conversation at On Purpose with Jay Shetty, Hemsworth opened up about the challenging times in his relationship with Elsa Pataky. While he admits they consistently try to make time for one another, balancing their demanding careers alongside parenting often makes things complicated for them.
He said, “Both having a sort of adventurous spirit, making time for one another. I think the complicated times have been when it’s been all work, all kids, and all of a sudden the ‘us’ in the relationship is sort of non-existent.”
He further added, “You’re just kind of managing a household or the work-family schedule. Elsa will be off at work, and I’ll be off at work, and then it’s chaos with kid time, and so sort of removing ourselves from all of that and just having time for the two of us and making space for each other rather than the rest of the world that can be so all-consuming.”
The duo’s paths officially crossed in 2010, when they were introduced by Hemsworth’s talent agent. By September, they made their relationship official. They tied the knot over Christmas in Australia. At present, they share three kids, India, Sasha, and Tristan.
Earlier this year, Pataky sat down with Hello Magazine to share the secret sauce to their healthy marriage. She said, “Marriage needs constant work, and you learn a lot from the rough patches. You have to try to keep growing together, making sure that your paths carry on crossing.”
Explaining how they stay connected no matter the difficult times, she further added, “It’s about finding the fun, enjoying the little moments, and remaining curious about each other. You have to be ready to adapt, and because there are situations that separate you, you need to know how to find each other again.”
