Elsa recently returned to Byron Bay after a sun-soaked trip to her home country of Spain, where she lives with Chris and their three children.

The actress has been busy filming in the European country for her new TV role in the Spanish series Matices.

Little is currently known about the series, which also stars Elsa’s boyfriend Enrique Arce, but it has been described as a physiological thriller.

Six patients are reportedly participating in a rare treatment program when a detective is forced to intervene after things take a sinister turn.

It marks her return to Spanish television, having most recently had a cameo role in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, her husband Chris’s latest box office flop.

Chris and her children – daughter India, 12, and twins Sasha and Tristan, 10 – accompanied her on part of her trip to Spain as they visited Barcelona together for her 48th birthday.

The couple and their children visited the city’s most popular attractions, enjoyed bike rides and ate very sumptuously during the trip.

Just weeks after her own birthday, Chris celebrated his 41st birthday on August 11, and Elsa shared a sweet tribute to her husband to mark the special day.

At the time, she shared a gallery of intimate photos of herself, Chris and their children on Instagram as she shared a rare glimpse into her family life.

In the caption, she gushed: “Happy birthday to the funniest husband and father ever, Chris Hemsworth.” “Life is so much better when we laugh together.”

Elsa and Chris tied the knot in a whirlwind ceremony on Boxing Day 2010 after just three months of dating.

They keep much of their personal life off social media and are raising their three children in Byron Bay.

In October, Chris surprised fans when he revealed that he sleeps naked in bed with Elsa.

The Australian actor said his happy life with the Spanish actress consists of “sleeping without pajamas and dancing around the house.”

Chris reflected on being named People Magazine’s Sexiest Man of the Year in 2014 after suggesting that his Transformers One co-star Brian Tyree Henry should be this year’s winner.

After being shown his own fresh People magazine cover from a decade ago, the Thor actor joked, “What happened to me?”

Chris said at the time that he found it “pretty funny” when he heard the news that he had been voted Sexiest Man Alive.

Ms Elsa also thought it was hilarious, but that didn’t stop the Australian star from reveling in fame all those years ago.

At the time, he told the magazine: “I think you gave me bragging rights around the house for a few weeks.”

“I can just say to (Elsa): ‘Remember, this is what people think, so I don’t have to do the dishes anymore, I don’t have to change diapers anymore. I’m above it. I”I’ve done it now.”
