Chris Hemsworth’s 3 Children: India Rose, Tristan and Sasha

Quick answer: Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky have three children: India Rose, born on 11 May 2012, and twin sons Tristan and Sasha, born on 18 March 2014. On 20 August 2026 India Rose is 14 and the twins are both 12. All three appeared in Thor: Love and Thunder in 2022, and India Rose returns as Love in Avengers: Doomsday on 18 December 2026.

Evidence date: Facts and ages checked 20 August 2026. Dated roles are not treated as permanent current jobs.

India Rose was born in London on 11 May 2012, while her father was working in Britain. Tristan and Sasha arrived twenty-two months later, on 18 March 2014, and Elsa Pataky announced them herself, writing that the twins had come into the world just after the full moon. Three children inside two years is why the family table is short and the birthday calendar is not.

The ages are the part that goes stale fastest, and they have gone stale everywhere. India Rose turned 14 on 11 May 2026 and the twins turned 12 on 18 March 2026, so any profile still printing 12 and 10 is running two years behind a set of dates that have never moved. Nothing about the children has changed except the arithmetic, which is exactly why it is worth doing properly.

All three are minors, so this guide carries what their parents put on the public record and stops there: names, birth dates, dated ages, credited film roles from official cast listings, and the reasons Hemsworth and Pataky have given for raising them where they do. No schools, no routines, no home address, no social accounts and no predictions about who any of the three will become.

Chris Hemsworth’s children at a glance

Tristan Hemsworth18 March 201412Joint second; twin brother of Sasha
Sasha Hemsworth18 March 201412Joint second; twin brother of Tristan

Three children, two birth dates, and both of them early in the year. India Rose reaches 15 on 11 May 2027 and the twins reach 13 on 18 March 2027, which means the numbers above hold for the rest of 2026. That is unusually stable for a family table, and it is why a page that gets the arithmetic wrong stays wrong for a long time before anything forces a correction.

Their parents married in December 2010 after meeting that year through Hemsworth’s agent, and marked their fifteenth anniversary on 26 December 2025. Chris Hemsworth was born in Melbourne on 11 August 1983 and turned 43 nine days before this check. Elsa Pataky, born Elsa Lafuente Medianu in Madrid on 18 July 1976, turned 50 in July 2026.

One daughter, then twins, inside twenty-two months

The family was assembled fast and in two different hemispheres. India Rose was born in London in May 2012, during a stretch of British work. The twins arrived in March 2014, by which point the couple were preparing the move that has defined the children’s lives since. Nothing about the sequence is complicated; almost every error attached to it comes from copying an age instead of a date.

ChildDateWhat fixes the recordAge on 20 August 2026
India Rose11 May 2012Birth in London, reported at the time and carried in her own credited biography14
Tristan18 March 2014Elsa Pataky’s own announcement naming both twins and the day they arrived12
Sasha18 March 2014The same announcement; the twins are fraternal and are always named as a pair12

Pataky wrote that the twins had come into the world on 18 March, just after the full moon, and that the feeling was complete happiness. That post is the primary record for both names and the shared birth date, which matters because twin birth dates are the ones most often smeared across two days in later write-ups.

A first child followed by twins is a specific family shape and it produces a specific problem: the middle of the family has no middle. The same structure sits behind Celine Dion’s three sons, an eldest and then a pair of twins, where the age gap does the same work of splitting one household into two very different stages at once.

India Rose Hemsworth: the one with a real filmography

India Rose Hemsworth was born on 11 May 2012 in London and is 14. Of the three children she is the only one with a credited filmography that has kept going, and it is short enough to list in full: three feature credits and two documentary appearances, all of them tied to her father’s work.

She played Love in Thor: Love and Thunder in 2022, the child Gorr the God Butcher brings back and leaves in Thor’s care, and the film closes on the character rather than treating her as a walk-on. Two years later she is credited as Girl in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, the George Miller film in which her father plays the warlord Dementus and her mother appears in two roles.

The third credit is the one that changes the shape of her record. A teaser released at the end of December 2025 confirmed she returns as Love in Avengers: Doomsday, which opens on 18 December 2026, with the trailer built around Thor and the daughter he is trying to get home to. Three feature credits across four years is a working pattern, not a novelty appearance.

What those credits do not establish is a career, and this guide keeps the distinction visible. An official cast listing proves a role in a named film. It does not prove representation, training, a plan, or an intention to keep acting, and no adult has said any of those things on her behalf. Every superhero franchise produces the same category error about its actors’ families, including the four children in the Gal Gadot household.

Tristan and Sasha: two credits, one film, and a full stop

Tristan and Sasha Hemsworth were born on 18 March 2014 and are both 12. Their entire screen record sits inside a single film. In Thor: Love and Thunder Tristan played the young version of his father’s character and Sasha played an Asgardian child, on a set that also carried the children of Christian Bale, Natalie Portman and the director Taika Waititi.

Nothing has followed. There is no second credit, no announced project and no statement from either parent suggesting one is coming, and the absence is the honest answer rather than a gap to be filled. A guide that invents momentum for two 12-year-olds off one 2022 cameo is writing fiction with real names in it.

Which twin is which is worth pinning down, because it is reversed constantly. Tristan is young Thor. Sasha is the Asgardian child. The roles are small enough that outlets swap them without noticing, and the swap then propagates through every page that copies from the last one.

Sibling sections do not have to be the same length to be fair. India Rose has three feature credits and a confirmed 2026 release; her brothers have one film between them from four years ago. Writing the twins up to match would mean inventing the difference instead of explaining it, and the difference here is simply how many times a casting director called.

Every screen role the three children have actually had

Family guides tend to describe these appearances as “the kids were in Dad’s movies”, which flattens three very different situations into one. Here is the full set, with the year, the film and what each credit establishes on its own.

ChildCreditFilm and yearWhat it establishes
India RoseLoveThor: Love and Thunder, 2022A named speaking role that carries the ending of the film
India RoseGirlFuriosa: A Mad Max Saga, 2024A second credit on a film outside the Marvel franchise, with a different director
India RoseLoveAvengers: Doomsday, 18 December 2026A confirmed return, announced in a December 2025 teaser rather than rumoured
TristanYoung ThorThor: Love and Thunder, 2022One dated appearance in one film, with no later credit attached
SashaAsgardian childThor: Love and Thunder, 2022One dated appearance, frequently and wrongly swapped with his twin’s

India Rose has also appeared as herself in two documentary formats built around her father, including an episode of the first season of Limitless in 2022. Appearing as yourself in a documentary about a parent is a family milestone rather than an acting job, and separating the two is most of what a page like this is for.

Her mother is in both features as well, playing Wolf Woman in the 2022 Thor film and a double role in Furiosa, and Hemsworth’s father Craig appears in Furiosa too. Three generations on one call sheet is unusual enough to be worth stating plainly, and it explains why so many of these credits arrived in a cluster.

Why the family lives on the other side of the world

Hemsworth and Pataky moved their household from Los Angeles to northern New South Wales in the middle of the last decade, when India Rose was a toddler and the twins were babies. Sources put the move at 2014 and at 2015; the children’s ages make either reading compatible with the same underlying decision, which was taken while all three were pre-school age.

Pataky has explained the reasoning in her own words more than once. In March 2025 she said that work suffocates you in Los Angeles, where even the billboards are about the film industry, and that after living surrounded by nature a return to a city is hard on the whole family. Hemsworth, in the same run of interviews, said that ten years away and then coming back reminded him how unusual the Australian coast is.

KidsCo names the region and stops there. Byron Bay is broadly public because both parents talk about it constantly and film there; the road, the boundary and the layout of a house three minors live in are not this page’s business, whatever a property listing has published. That line is worth stating once so readers know what has been left out on purpose rather than missed.

The practical effect on the children is the part their parents have made public: fewer photographers, a long flight between them and the industry that employs both parents, and grandparents in the same country. It is a family arrangement designed to make the ordinary parts of childhood possible, and it has held for more than a decade.

What Hemsworth has actually said about screens, brands and privacy

This is the part of the search that gets paraphrased into mush, so here it is with dates attached and the wording kept close to his. Three separate positions, stated at three separate times, and none of them a general policy speech about parenting.

DateWhereWhat he saidWhat it covers
August 2018GQ, reported widely at the timeThat the exploitation is something he is very wary of, and that offers to advertise a product over a family dinner get a flat refusalCommercial use of his children, not photographs of them in general
July 2022Interviews around Thor: Love and ThunderThat the roles felt like a one-off family experience and he does not want them to go and be child starsHis intention at the time, since complicated by India Rose taking two further credits
Undated, in a fatherhood interviewThe Father HoodThat he is making a real effort to put the phone away and caps himself at an hour or two a day rather than being on call around the clockHis own screen use, framed as the example he sets rather than a rule imposed on the children
February 2026A magazine interview timed to Crime 101That his children do not care about his fame at all, thought Thor was cool until they realised they could not fly, and now answer with a shrugThe current family temperature, in his words, about a 14-year-old and two 12-year-olds

The screen-time line is the one most often reported backwards. He has described disciplining his own phone use, and framed it as an example rather than a household rule, saying he notices how many adults have their heads down while a child asks for attention. What he wants remembered, he said, is that he was there, he played, he was present and he listened.

The 2022 remark about child stars is now sitting next to two later credits, and both things are true at once. He said he did not want a child-star track; India Rose then took a role in a George Miller film and a confirmed return in a Marvel one. A dated intention is a dated intention, and a page that quotes it as a standing policy in 2026 is quoting a four-year-old sentence out of its calendar.

Where Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky are in August 2026

Hemsworth turned 43 on 11 August 2026, nine days before this check, and he has had an unusually crowded eighteen months. Crime 101, the Bart Layton thriller he stars in and produced alongside Mark Ruffalo and Halle Berry, premiered in London in January 2026, opened widely on 13 February and reached streaming on 1 April.

Ahead of him is Avengers: Doomsday on 18 December 2026, the film that brings Thor back and his daughter with him. Behind him is Limitless: Live Better Now, the three-part second season that streamed from 15 August 2025 and reached National Geographic on 25 August, in which he learned to drum well enough to play a stadium show with Ed Sheeran and put himself through Korean special-forces training.

The health story attached to the first season needs stating once and leaving alone. In a 2022 episode Hemsworth disclosed that he carries two copies of the APOE4 gene, one from each parent, which raises his lifetime Alzheimer’s risk substantially. He has since made a documentary about his own father living with the disease. It is his disclosure to make, and it is not a fact about his children.

Pataky, 50, appeared in both of the family’s recent features and marked fifteen years of marriage with Hemsworth on 26 December 2025. She has been candid for years that the marriage has had ups and downs like any other and that they keep working at it, which is a more useful sentence than the perfect-couple framing that keeps getting hung on them. For a comparable two-actor household, see the three children Mark Ruffalo and Sunrise Coigney have raised.

What most Chris Hemsworth children pages still get wrong

Almost every fault on this subject is one of four things: a stale age, a swapped twin, a cameo promoted to a career, or a quote from 2022 presented as the position in 2026. All four are cheap to fix and all four survive because pages copy each other rather than the dates.

Weak or harmful shortcutReader-first correctionWhy it matters
“India is 12 and the twins are 10”On 20 August 2026 India Rose is 14 and Tristan and Sasha are both 12The birth dates have never moved; only the arithmetic was left unrevised
“Sasha played young Thor”Tristan played young Thor; Sasha played an Asgardian childThe two credits are separate and the swap spreads every time a page copies the previous one
“Hemsworth’s kids are child actors”India Rose has three feature credits; the twins have one appearance between them, from 2022A cast listing proves a role in a named film and nothing about a career or a plan
“He refuses to let them act”He said in 2022 he did not want them to become child stars, and India Rose has since taken two more rolesA dated intention is not a standing rule, and reporting it as one misleads about the present
“They live in Byron Bay” with an address attachedThe region is public because both parents talk about it; the property detail belongs to nobody but themThree of the people who live there are minors, and precision about a house is not a service to a reader

There is a fifth, quieter fault: writing all three children as one unit. India Rose is 14 with a credited filmography and a confirmed December release. Tristan and Sasha are 12 with a single shared film from four years ago. Treating them as a block is how a page ends up implying that three children are on the same track when the record clearly shows one of them alone.

The same discipline applies across the KidsCo celebrity family index, where every count and every age is bound to a stated check date, and to companion guides such as Natalie Portman’s two children, who were on the same 2022 set and their own carefully bounded records.

The Hemsworth family timeline, and what each date proves

DateMilestoneWhat it establishes
December 2010Hemsworth and Pataky marry in Australia, months after meetingThe marriage the three children were born into, and the fifteenth anniversary marked in December 2025
11 May 2012India Rose born in LondonThe eldest child, and the birth date every age on this page runs from
18 March 2014Tristan and Sasha born, announced by their motherOne shared birth date for both twins, from a first-hand post rather than a later write-up
July 2022All three appear in Thor: Love and ThunderThree separate credited roles in one film, and the origin of most of the confusion about them
May 2024India Rose credited as Girl in Furiosa: A Mad Max SagaA second credit, on another director’s film, that a one-off explanation no longer covers
18 December 2026Avengers: Doomsday opens with India Rose returning as LoveA confirmed future release, announced in a December 2025 teaser

Read the timeline as two stories running at different speeds. The family story is quiet and consistent: one marriage, three children, one country change and a set of parents who keep saying the same things about privacy. The screen story is lumpy: a burst of credits in 2022, one more in 2024, and a fourth arriving at the end of 2026.

Pinning the second story to dates is what keeps the first one intact. Once the credits are listed with years attached, there is no need to speculate about what any of the three children might do next, which is the single most common way a family guide starts writing about a minor as though they were a project.
