Elsa Pataky Shines Solo in Byron Bay: Chris Hemsworth at MotoGP

Elsa Pataky was spotted enjoying some solo time on the golden sands of Byron Bay on Sunday, as her husband Chris Hemsworth attended the Phillip Island MotoGP Grand Prix

SCANDALOUS CELEBRITY SIGHTING: Chris Hemsworth Spotted Solo at MotoGP, Wife Elsa Pataky Soaks Up Sun in Byron Bay

In a shocking turn of events, Hollywood heartthrob Chris Hemsworth was seen attending the Phillip Island MotoGP Grand Prix without his wife of 13 years, Spanish actress Elsa Pataky. Meanwhile, Elsa was indulging in some much-needed "me time" on the sun-kissed beaches of Byron Bay, and we can't help but wonder what's brewing behind closed doors.

Elsa, 49, looked like a stunning vision in her high-cut red swimsuit, which showcased her pert derrière to perfection. The Fast and Furious star paired the look with an olive singlet, and topped it off with a dark brown hat to shield her famous visage from the harsh Australian sun. But don't let her relaxed demeanor fool you - Elsa was definitely enjoying every moment of her solo beach day.

In one picture, Elsa was captured striking a playful pose with her arm raised to the sky, while another showed her confidently wading across the sand, taking in the serene surroundings. She occasionally paused to gaze out at the sparkling ocean, and we can only imagine what thoughts were running through her mind.

But what's really got our tongues wagging is Chris' solo outing at the MotoGP. The Thor star, 42, cut a casual figure in his crisp white tee and black jeans, but it was his laid-back demeanor that really caught our attention. He added a black hoodie to his look, paired with a blue baseball cap and sunglasses, and seemed to be having the time of his life.

As he mingled with fans and took selfies, we couldn't help but wonder if Chris is feeling the pressure of their long-distance summer. After all, Elsa was in her native Spain for weeks filming her new TV series, Matices, while Chris spent time abroad, including an appearance at the final day of Wimbledon without his wife.

And it looks like they're still adjusting to life apart - a source close to the couple revealed that they spent most of the European summer apart. "They've been trying to make it work, but it's not easy," the insider spilled. "Chris has been busy with his own projects, and Elsa needs her time to focus on hers too."

But don't worry, Chris fans - he did get some quality time in with his longtime personal trainer and best mate, Luke Zocchi, during a beachside escape in Hossegor, France. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to spend their summer days lounging on the beach with a handsome Aussie beau?

Meanwhile, Elsa was enjoying her own holiday in Spain, but we can only imagine how nice it must be for her to have some uninterrupted "me time" after a long summer of filming and family commitments.

The couple tied the knot during the Christmas holidays in 2010, and since then, they've been inseparable - or so it seems. But with Chris' recent solo outings and Elsa's own holiday, we can't help but wonder if their marriage is facing some challenges.

As they reunite for Chris' new National Geographic series, Limitless: Live Better Now, with their twin sons Tristan and Sasha, 11, in London, we'll be keeping a close eye on these two. Will they be able to navigate the ups and downs of life together, or will their love story take a dramatic turn?

Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure - we can't get enough of this celebrity couple!
