Elsa Pataky has spent years balancing her career with family life. In a recent interview, the actress spoke openly about her personal decisions regarding motherhood and her professional career.
Although she has been a prominent figure in the industry, Elsa Pataky made the decision to prioritize her role as a mother, especially after some statements from her husband, Chris Hemsworth.
Elsa Pataky admits the rumors are true
In 2022, Chris Hemsworth caused some controversy by publicly thanking Elsa for "putting aside her own dreams" to support his. The actor's words sparked a debate about the sacrifice Elsa Pataky made for her family.
"I wanted to be a mother and sacrifice part of my career. If both of us had dedicated all our time to our professions, our children would be without either of us all the time," Elsa stated, making it clear that it was a well-thought-out decision.
Elsa Pataky has gradually resumed her professional career in recent years, finding a balance with her family commitments. With her children, India Rose and twins Tristan and Sasha, now older, Elsa has been able to start reclaiming her place in film and television.
Despite being very involved in her professional life, she hasn't lost sight of her role as a mother. In several interviews, she has spoken about the challenges of raising three children, especially now that they're entering preadolescence. "It's a daily challenge," she commented.

In her latest interview with Lecturas magazine, Elsa also shared her experience on how she manages raising her children in a rural environment. Although she doesn't have a nanny, the actress stated that she enjoys being a fully involved mother.
"No, I don't have a nanny. I do everything myself, and I love it, too," she assured. She also highlighted the unconditional support of her husband, who, according to her, is a great father and is always very involved in parenting.
"Now he's stayed with the kids," Elsa commented, who has recently been in Spain for work reasons. The Hemsworth-Pataky family, residents of Byron Bay, has been an example of balance between family and professional life.
The closeness and mutual support between Elsa and Chris remain essential in their daily life. They both support each other in every step they take, whether in their professional or personal lives, which allows them to keep a healthy balance between their careers and their family.
