In a beautiful way. Once our kids were out of nappies, things became a bit more manageable.”
Adding he wouldn’t be where he is today without the Spanish actress, Hemsworth continued: “Her sacrifice, commitment, work, support, forgiveness – everything that she has given me over the years has been incredible. I couldn’t have done any of the things I’ve done without it.
