The couple are raising their kids out of the spotlight in Australia.
When Chris Hemsworth isn't playing everyone's favorite god of thunder, he steps into the role of dad. The Marvel star and his wife, model and actress Elsa Pataky, share three children: daughter India Rose Hemsworth, and twin sons Sasha Hemsworth and Tristan Hemsworth.
Hemsworth and Pataky tied the knot back in 2010 and welcomed India Rose two years later. Their twins arrived in 2014, making them a family of five.
All three of the couple's children tagged along for their famous father's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, although India opted out of photos at the event. The actor gushed over his kids in his acceptance speech, calling them 'endlessly inspiring' to him. 'Their ability to live in the moment and to dive into life head first and to have fun and be joyous and playful is a constant reminder that that's what life's about,' he continued, adding, 'I love you guys.'
Although he plays a high-flying superhero on the big screen, Hemsworth is taking strides to make sure his children stay grounded. 'As a kid, we had very little money, and my parents saved up all year to just pay for a two-week camping vacation,' Hemsworth told People of his own childhood in 2017. 'Financially, we're in a different position, but I want to make sure [my kids] know these things don't come easy. You have to work for it, and you can't take it for granted,' he explained.
Pataky, a Madrid native best known for her role in the Fast & Furious franchise, echoed Hemsworth's sentiments in a March 2019 cover story for HOLA! USA. 'All mothers try to instill our values, but I especially try to teach them to respect each other—to share—since they are lucky to have it all and are very privileged," she said. "I want them to value it and be generous with people who don't have that luck.'
Even if they aren't actually superheroes, the pair are certainly a power couple. Below, here's everything to know about Chris Hemsworth's three kids with Elsa Pataky.
India Rose Hemsworth
Hemsworth and Pataky welcomed their first child, India Rose Hemsworth, on May 11, 2012. She was born in London, England, according to her official IMDB bio. As for her name, Hemsworth told E! News'It was just a name we liked, I always kind of liked Indie or Indiana for a boy and [Pataky] liked India.'
While the Hemsworths spent the first few years of India's life in Los Angeles, they relocated to Australia's Byron Bay in 2015. Hemsworth, a born-and-raised Aussie, explained to Vanity Fair in 2024 that he wanted to be closer to his parents—and farther from the superficiality of Los Angeles.
Living in a beach town with a family farm nearby, 13-year-old India is naturally an animal lover. The same Vanity Fair profile revealed that the oldest Hemsworth child keeps birds in her bedroom's enclosed balcony. She's also a passionate horseback rider, with Pataky (a rider herself) regularly sharing clips of her daughter's competitions on social media.
The preteen has already made an appearance on the silver screen. Alongside Hemsworth's twin boys, India had a small role in his 2022 film Thor: Love and Thunder, as the character of Love. Hemsworth's co-stars Christian Bale and Natalie Portman, as well as director Taika Waititi, had their children appear in the film as well, per an interview Hemsworth did with entertainment reporter Kevin McCarthy.
Although India regularly attends premieres and events with her celebrity parents, she tends to opt out of photos. Asked about her daughter's desire to stay out of the public eye, Pataky told Spanish-language publication La Vanguardia, 'She likes discretion. She has decided that she does not want to go out in public, or draw attention to herself, or be talked about.'
The teen does make occasional cameos on her parents' Instagram accounts. In 2022, Hemsworth shared two photos: one of his daughter on a set as a baby, and another of her at 10 years old on the set of Thor: Love and Thunder. 'She's my favourite superhero,' he wrote in the caption of the heartwarming post.
Sasha and Tristan Hemsworth
India became a big sister just shy of her second birthday, when Hemsworth and Pataky welcomed twins Sasha and Tristan on March 18, 2014. Pataky announced their arrival on her Instagram.
Even though they're twins, the siblings aren't one and the same, as Hemsworth noted in a 2018 interview with GQ Australia. 'I don't get how I can teach them the same thing but they be so different?' the amused father said. 'Tristan is so athletic but there's not an aggressive bone in his body. He's the most emotional one. Whereas Sasha is like a little gangster.'
Personality differences aside, the brothers share a love of superheroes—but their father's character surprisingly isn't their favorite. "I think Wonder Woman's their favorite character, it's definitely my boys' favorite character," the Transformers One voice actor told ET in 2022.
That hasn't stopped him from trying to win them over. One of the twins played a younger version of Thor in Thor: Love and Thunder, and both boys joined their father at the film's Sydney premiere in 2022. For their eighth birthday, Hemsworth shared a throwback photo to Instagram of his look-alike sons dressed up as the character, complete with two mini mjölnir hammers. 'If your [sic] asking if they're allowed to wear any other super hero outfits besides Thor the answer is no 😘🎉,' he wrote.
More recently, 11-year-old Sasha and Tristan posed alongside their parents, grandparents, and uncle Liam Hemsworth at the London premiere of Limitless: Live Better Now. Tristan donned a tuxedo for the occasion, while Sasha wore a more laid-back black suit.
