Is there trouble in paradise for Chris Hemsworth and his wife Elsa Pataky? The 41-year-old actor’s recent outing at the beach in Byron Bay, Australia, sparked the rumors, as Chris was seen sans his wedding ring. Yes, you read that right! His signature platinum wedding band, embedded with polished black gems, which used to be a constant part of his ensemble, was noticeably missing. The missing ring raised questions among fans and close friends.
While enjoying a beach day with his sons near a luxurious Australian mansion, Hemsworth caught everyone’s attention. However, more than him it was the absence of his wedding band that came to notice. The famous star was seen sporting a different ring on his middle finger. And this new addition further added fuel to the speculations.
“He nearly always wears his wedding band, and there has been a lot of speculation among his circle about the state of his marriage after Elsa’s telling comments,” a source close to the actor told Radar Online.
For the unversed, earlier, Ptaky openly addressed the challenges of their marriage. She admitted “It’s not easy,” as she spoke to Hola! Spain.
Moreover, it is worth noting that the separation rumors did not start with the missing ring. they were initially sparked, when in October and November 2023, Pataky and Hemsworth took separate vacations. While Pataky spent time in Japan with their sons, Hemsworth enjoyed holidays with their daughter in Iceland. Thereafter, in November, Pataky attended an awards ceremony in Spain alone, while Hemsworth spent time with his brothers in Abu Dhabi.
Further, in December 2023, Hemsworth was noticeably absent from a family Christmas tradition of putting up the tree.
Eager fans even commented on Pataky’s social media “Haven’t seen you and Chris together in a while. Hope all is good.” The couple so far has maintained silence on the matter; however, insiders claim their dynamic has shifted.
