Chris Hemsworth arrives back in Australia with his glamorous blonde assistant and three children following global Mad Max tour

Chris Hemsworth returned to Australia on Monday after wrapping up his global promotional tour for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, but one key member of his family was missing.

The megastar actor, 40, was spotted at Sydney Airport with his three children – twin sons Sasha and Tristan, daughter India Rose, 12 – but his wife Elsa Pataky, 47, was nowhere to be seen.

Instead, Chris was accompanied by a glamorous blonde woman who was believed to be a nanny.

Chris and Elsa were last seen together in Los Angeles last week, when the couple and their children attended the Hollywood Walk Of Fame star’s unveiling ceremony.

While it’s unclear when Elsa will return, Chris seemed relieved to be home after his whirlwind international media tour.

The Thor star showed off his bulging biceps in a tight black T-shirt, paired with matching black pants and sneakers.

He also did his best to stay under the radar by shielding his face behind orange aviator sunglasses and wearing a black baseball cap.

Chris had an airport worker carry his family’s luggage and carried only a small black backpack as he juggled bottles of water and juice and a takeaway coffee cup in his hands.

Ever the doting father, Chris made sure to lead his young children through the crowd while also smiling at the star-struck spectators.

Meanwhile, his blonde assistant, who is the spitting image of Chris’ wife Elsa, is dressed in a white singlet top, black leggings and a matching hoodie.

She completed her look with white sneakers and styled her hair in a loose braid.

At one point, Chris decided to treat his kids to a post-flight snack by taking them to a food kiosk in the arrivals terminal.

After approaching the busy counter, Chris was spotted chatting with his children while looking at a pastry in the window.

It comes after Elsa praised Chris for receiving a Hollywood Walk of Fame star last week.

Taking to Instagram, the Spanish actress shared a photo of herself and Chris at the unveiling, as she expressed how “proud” she was of her husband.

“We are so proud of you my love @chrishemsworth. And your words meant the world to me,” she wrote, referencing his speech.

“Congratulations on the Hollywood Walk of Fame star.”

Chris and Elsa got married over the Christmas holidays in 2010.

The couple live in a $30 million mansion in Broken Head, near Byron Bay, after moving from Los Angeles to Australia nine years ago.

In 2021, Elsa revealed that she and Chris have a very simple trick to keeping their marriage happy and healthy: laughing.

Speak with Hello! magazineshe said that the Thor actor has a knack for diffusing any argument with a joke.

“We enjoy doing the same things and Chris has a great sense of humor and knows how to take the sting out of things,” she said.
