Elsa Pataky and her husband Chris Hemsworth are the proud parents of three children.
And on Wednesday, the Spanish actress took to Instagram to give fans a rare look what life is really like behind closed doors with their children, India, nine, and twins Tristan and Sasha, seven.
Uploading a photo of her husband getting smothered with hugs, and giving one of their twins a ride on his shoulder, Elsa cheekily captioned the post: ‘Isn’t parenting the best?’

In the photo Chris appeared to have his hands full carrying his twin boys Tristan and Sasha, while India appeared to be biting his elbow.
Chris and Else recently suffered another setback in their plans to build a second ‘Westfield-style’ mansion on a 35 hectare site in an exclusive part of Byron Bay.
Daily Mail Australia revealed in August the Hemsworths wanted to build a new seven-bedroom home – each with its own ensuite bathroom – less than a kilometre from the $30million mega-mansion they call home.

The new digs is expected cost the Hollywood power couple $4.4million but at the moment remains on the planning shelf.
Daily Mail Australia has been told approval for the new compound has been put on hold due to a lack of expertise within Byron Bay Council.
‘The council has lost a bunch of their staff in recent times and there is a huge backlog in processing Development Approvals,’ a source told Daily Mail Australia.
‘Not much is happening with it at the moment.’

The development has been plagued with issues since it was lodged earlier this year, with experts claiming the Hemsworths are ‘dreaming’ if they hoped to come in on their documented budget.
‘The Development Approval said the estimated cost to build the two houses was $4.4m. I reckon that wouldn’t put Christmas dinner on the Hemsworth’s table,’ a building industry expert told Daily Mail Australia in August.
‘The figure will be way more.’
Chris purchased the land – about a kilometre from his existing Byron Bay mansion – for $4.25million in 2019.
Any blowout is unlikely to dent the coffers of the Thor star and his wife, who have a combined net worth of about $200million.
Development plans were first lodged in March, with a final draft being submitted with Byron Bay Council in July.
Happy: Chris and Elsa married in 2010 and are parents to India, nine, and twins Tristan and Sasha, seven
