Chris Hemsworth's wife Elsa Pataky reveals why their family live in Australia and not her home country

Elsa Pataky has revealed why she and her Aussie husband Chris Hemsworth set their roots down in Australia and not her native Spain. The actress, 48, who lives in Byron Bay with the Thor star, 41, and their three children, initially didn't want to live in either of their home countries, for fear that it may test their relationship. 'I made him promise that neither of us would force the other to live in their country, because they were so far apart,' she told However, when Chris showed his wife the beauty of the East Coast, it was love at first sight. 'It ended up happening because he took me to Australia, he showed me Byron Bay and I fell in love, it was a paradise,' she confessed. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Elsa's dream was to be surrounded by nature and animals, a lifestyle that the vast green pastures of Australia could easily provide her. 'Living in Madrid is complicated when you've already lived in the countryside, in the middle of nature, it's hard,' she said. So, after some negotiation - and Chris promising Elsa that they could have horses - the family settled down in Byron Bay, and have been in paradise ever since. Elsa has previously opened up about her and her husband's decision to leave the hustle and bustle of California for laidback living on the Gold Coast. In March, she told News Corp that the decision to relocate to Australia with husband Chris was all about regaining perspective. The couple found Los Angeles, where they were residing previously, too 'restricting'. 'When you're in Los Angeles, work suffocates you,' she said. She added that Byron Bay was far removed from the constant industry chatter that plagues the City Of Angels. 'There, all the conversations, even the billboards you see on the street, have to do with the world of cinema and its industry,' she said. She continued: 'It can make you lose perspective.' Elsa and Chris purchased the 4.2 hectare estate in Byron Bay back in 2014. The couple have since built a state of the art mansion on the land, estimated at around $50 million, that locals dub 'Fortress Hemsworth'. The luxury home boasts stunning views of the Pacific Ocean, six sizeable bedrooms, indoor and outdoor gymnasiums, a media room, a spa and even has a bowling alley.
