Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky have ‘drifted apart as a couple’, according to a recent report.
The genetically blessed duo, who have been married for more than 10 years, recently set tongues wagging that not all was well in paradise after they went on separate holidays.
Now a source close to the pair has told In Touch magazine that despite maintaining a united front for their family and spending Christmas together, the duo have been growing apart for some time.
‘The status of Chris and Elsa’s marriage is a question mark,’ the source told the publication.
‘The separate vacations are a huge red flag, but it’s more than that. They’re still very much a united family, but they’ve drifted apart as a couple.’
The source claimed Chris wants to live a ‘simpler life’ but ‘Elsa wants more’.
‘They were the perfect husband-and-wife team for so long – both gorgeous, beautiful kids. Everything seemed picture-perfect. But things have definitely changed,’ they added.
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Chris and Elsa for comment.
The couple have spent a significant amount of time holidaying separately in recent months, prompting fans to question if all is well in paradise.
Since fans raised their concerns, Chris shared an image of himself and Elsa to Instagram, showing the pair lapping up the sun aboard a boat.
The chatter began when Elsa and the couple’s children put up the family Christmas tree at their Byron Bay mansion without Chris.
‘Haven’t seen you and Chris together in a while. Hope all is good,’ one follower commented underneath photos the Spanish star posted of the Hemsworth clan decorating the home.
‘Where is Chris?’ another worried fan wrote, as one pointed out the pair have been taking less photos together than usual.
In October, Elsa jetted to Japan with their nine-year-old sons, Tristan and Sasha, while Chris took daughter India, 11, to Iceland.
In November, the pair went on separate trips yet again.
Elsa travelled back to her native Spain to attend The Woman Awards, where she posed up a storm in a daring backless gown.
Chris was conspicuously absent, instead choosing to travel to Abu Dhabi for a family getaway with his brothers Liam and Luke, their partners Gabrielle and Samantha and the famous siblings parents, Craig and Leonie.
Chris’ twin sons Tristan and Sasha also joined their father for the whirlwind trip.
It’s unclear whether India joined her mother or father for their respective trips.
The action star was also in the United Arab Emirates capital to attend the F1 Grand Prix with his famous brothers and male pals.
Earlier this month, Chris jetted off to Brazil to promote his new film Furiosa alongside co-star Anya-Taylor Joy.
Chris and Elsa tied the knot during the Christmas holidays in 2010.
The couple live in a $30million mansion in Broken Head near Byron Bay after relocating from Los Angeles to Australia nine years ago.
