Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky

Before he acquired his Marvel stardom, Chris Hemsworth met Elsa Pataky in his native Australia in 2010. The Thor star took the opportunity to marry her in December 2010 while they were on vacation in Bali with their families. The actor shared that they didn’t plan for it to happen, but with both of their families were there, it just felt like the right time for their union. Looking back on their whirlwind romance, Hemsworth admitted that it “just felt right.”

The pair now has three children and a lovely home to call their own. After marking a decade of wedded bliss, Pataky credits “patience and understanding” for her successful marriage to the actor. She also suggested that spending a lot of time together without the kids has kept their romance alive. Now we know why their flame has never fizzled out.
