SCANDAL IN THE SUN! Elsa Pataky Takes a Break from Baby Duty to Grab Green Smoothies, While Husband Chris Hemsworth Parties with A-List Friends in Ibiza

It looks like Chris Hemsworth's 42nd birthday bash in Ibiza was the ultimate boys' trip – minus one very important person: his wife, Elsa Pataky! As we previously reported, Elsa had been busy filming her new TV series, Matices, in her native Spain for weeks. But that didn't stop her from handling parenting duty solo while Chris lived it up with his celebrity pals.

On Monday, the Spanish actress was spotted out and about in Lennox Head, near the mansion she shares with Chris in Byron Bay. Elsa, 49, looked stunning in a retro ensemble, complete with brown corduroy jeans, a 1970s-style baby tee, and faded graphic print – a true fashionista at heart! She paired her look with black cap, white lettering, brown bedazzled sneakers, and oversized sunglasses with yellow lenses.

But what really caught our attention was the fact that Elsa had the family dog in tow, as well as one of their young sons, who enjoyed an orange smoothie while mom ran errands. Talk about a balancing act! We can only imagine how hard it must be for Elsa to juggle parenting duties with her own career and Chris's globe-trotting lifestyle.

While Elsa was busy being a solo parent, Chris was over 15,853 km away in Ibiza, celebrating his birthday in style. The Thor star treated himself to a lunch at celebrity hotspot Casa Jondal and even took a luxury boat cruise with an A-list guest list that included brothers Liam and Luke Hemsworth, Matt Damon, Rita Ora, her husband Taika Waititi, and Patrick and Pia Whitesell.

But don't worry, Chris didn't forget his wife's special day. Elsa shared a sweet birthday tribute to him on social media on Monday, with a heartfelt message: "Happy Birthday to my Rocky Balboa. You're the best of the best." Aww, how romantic! Too bad she couldn't join him in Ibiza for some quality time together.

It looks like Chris and Elsa's busy schedules have taken their toll on the couple's relationship. After spending most of the European summer apart, they finally reunited in July for Chris's new National Geographic series, Limitless: Live Better Now. But let's be real – with Chris traveling the world and filming projects left and right, it's no wonder Elsa had to take a solo trip to her native Spain.

The couple has been making Byron Bay their home in recent years after relocating from Los Angeles nine years ago. Who wouldn't want to escape the chaos of LA for a quieter life in Australia? But between Chris's globetrotting adventures and Elsa's career demands, it's no wonder they're barely spending quality time together.

We can only imagine what's going on behind closed doors at the Hemsworth household. Is this just a minor blip in their otherwise idyllic relationship, or is there more to the story? One thing's for sure – we'll be keeping a close eye on these two A-listers and their love life.

UPDATE: TheScholarlyNote.com has learned that Chris and Elsa have been working through some issues in their marriage, but everything seems fine between them. Sources close to the couple say they're just busy with their respective projects and are making time for each other when they can. We wish them all the best!
