Elsa Pataky Says Her Marriage With Chris Hemsworth Is 'Not Easy'! Here's Why...

Elsa Pataky and Chris Hemsworth don’t just work hard on their bodies — they work hard at their relationship, too!

The 44-year-old Spanish actress opened up about her less-than-perfect marriage to the Avengers: Endgame star in a new interview for Australia’s Body & Soul, revealing that they have had rough patches just like everyone else.

She told the glossy:

“It’s funny that people think of us as a perfect couple. No way. It’s been ups and downs, and we still keep working at the relationship. I think a relationship is constant work. It’s not easy.”

We love how she can admit it’s not all sunshine and outdoorsy selfies IRL!

While there is room for improvement in their marriage, however, Pataky said she operates with a glass half full mentality, adding:

“I always try to see the positives of things.”

She also always tries to be on the move. She explained:

“[Chris and I] love to do sports, eat healthy and move our bodies. We’ve got the kids into surfing. Any hobbies to get them outside, and not on social media and computers. My daughter has been horse riding with me since she was two-and-a-half.”

We believe it!

Just like her relationship with Chris, though, Pataky has had ups and downs with fitness. Confessing how she had to take it easy with exercise during her pregnancies, the starlet said:

“I had to slow down during my pregnancies and I couldn’t exercise as hard as I wanted. I remember feeling a bit lost when I had [8-year-old daughter] India. I thought my life was going to be the same [when I had kids] and I would keep working. But I couldn’t.”

Nevertheless, Pataky had her plate full at the time:

“Chris would come home and say, ‘How was your day?’ And I didn’t feel proud to say: I’m just a mum.’ But you should. Because it’s the hardest but greatest job in the world… I really liked being with the kids. I wanted to take them to school and pick them up every day. I just love that moment. I didn’t grow up with my parents [around] and I missed that so much, so I wanted to give that to my kids.”

Sounds like she’s doing a perfect job, if you ask us! Thoughts on Elsa’s comments, Perezcious readers?
