Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky showed off their toned physiques as they enjoyed a relaxing beach day with their children.

The pair appeared to further squash recent rumours that they were growing apart by enjoying a surfing session in Byron Bay joined by their twin sons Sasha and Tristan, nine, and daughter India, 11. Elsa, 47, looked incredible in a skimpy pink bikini which showcased her toned abs and taut physique to perfection.

The Spanish actress also layered gold chains and jewellery to accessorise her look and wore a baseball cap to complete her look as a cool mum. Meanwhile, Chris, 40, showed off his sculpted chest and biceps wearing just a pair of black swimming trunks as he enjoyed the family outing.

Chris previously put rumours of problems in their marriage to rest posting to Instagram as the family enjoyed Christmas Day at their gorgeous £10m Byron Bay compound, eating in the blazing Australian sun, and gazing over their infinity pool and out towards the sea. The couple’s fans had voiced their concern that there might be problems at home after noticing that they had been holidaying apart and not posting many photos together.

After Elsa posted a photo of her and one of their sons decorating a massive Christmas tree, one fan commented: “Haven’t seen you and Chris together in a while. Hope all is good.” Concerns had been growing for a while. In October last year they took their kids on separate trips with Elsa and the twins going to Japan, and Chris and India heading to Iceland. They both documented their respective trips, leaving their followers wondering why they didn’t all go away as a five-some.

The following month they travelled separately again. Elsa returned to Spain for The Woman Awards, and Chris joined his brothers, their partners Gabrielle and Samantha and siblings’ parents, Craig and Leonie on a trip to Abu Dhabi. Chris also took the twins, and it is not known if India went with them too, or if she went to Spain with her mum. Earlier this month, Chris travelled to Brazil to promote his new film, Furiosa, with his co-star Anya-Taylor Joy.

Chris previously revealed the lifestyle changes he made after discovering he is genetically predisposed to Alzheimer’s disease. He learned while filming National Geographic’s Limitless that he is “eight to 10 times more likely” to battle the progressive disease than the general population as he is one of only two to three per cent of people globally who have two copies of the gene APOE4.
