Chris Hemsworth, Elsa Pataky expecting first baby

CEBU, Philippines - Most expectant mothers would be slowing down and staying in with their feet up.

But Chris Hemsworth’s wife Elsa Pataky showed no signs of slowing down earlier this evening when she turned up and walked the red carpet at her husband’s latest movie premiere.

The actress stunned in a floorlength emerald green dress which showed off her growing baby bump at the UK premiere for Avengers Assemble.

Chris, 28, showed he was a proud father-to-be as he joyfully posed and stroked his wife’s belly.

She fooled around on the carpet as her stomach was patted and stroked by Chris’ co-star in the film, Tom Hiddleston.

They were joined on the red carpet by Scarlett Johansson and Robert Downey Jr., while Jeremy Renner was also present to celebrate the screening at London’s Vue in Westfield, White City.

Chris and Elsa, who married at the end of 2010, announced the baby news in February, as Elsa confirmed to Hola! magazine; ‘Chris and I are ecstatic, very happy and excited.’

She added: ‘Since it’s our first child, we don’t care if it’s a boy or a girl, our only wish is that it’s healthy. I’m only going to speak to the baby in Spanish. I already told my husband, ‘Get ready fast with Spanish because, if not, you’re not going to be able to understand what we say.’ (FREEMAN)
