Which actress did Australian actor Chris Hemsworth marry in 2010?

The story behind the answer

Australian actor Chris Hemsworth married Spanish actress Elsa Pataky in 2010.

Hemsworth and Pataky married during the Christmas holidays in 2010. Their relationship developed quickly after they met through mutual representatives, and they announced their marriage soon afterward. The couple have lived in Australia for much of their family life and have three children: a daughter, India Rose, and twin sons, Tristan and Sasha.

Hemsworth became internationally famous for playing Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, beginning with Thor in 2011. Pataky is known for Spanish-language work as well as international films such as Snakes on a Plane and Fast Five. She also appeared in later Fast & Furious films.

Pataky is sometimes identified only through her connection to Hemsworth, but she had an established acting and modeling career before their marriage. Hemsworth’s wedding took place before his first Marvel film was released, although he had already built credits in Australian television and film.
