Their other son, Sasha, is named after a stuntman friend, demonstrating the couple’s appreciation for their close-knit circle.

Hemsworth is also a proud father to his daughter, India, aged 11. In a past interview with news agency IANS, Hemsworth revealed that his first child, India Rose, was named after the South-Asian country.

“My wife spent a lot of time in India and that was where the name originally came from,” he shared during the promotion of 'Men in Black: International in 2019' as reported by Metro.

Chris Hemsworth’s adventures with his children

Hemsworth often shares glimpses of his adventures with his children on Instagram. Earlier this month, he posted a series of photos from a fishing trip with India.

The father-daughter duo spent quality time near a river, with Hemsworth capturing their moments in a sweet selfie.

He also shared pictures of India climbing rocks, running through a field, and a few snaps of their campsite. “Nothing better than a little getaway with one of my besties,” the proud father wrote in his caption.

In February, Hemsworth shared videos from a ski trip with his three kids. The family enjoyed a snow terrain park, flipping forwards and backward while skiing and snowboarding down the slopes.

The actor caught all three of his kids in action as they raced down the slopes, whooping and hollering as they landed. “My kids continuing to do wild s**t that makes me feel incredibly inadequate on the slopes!” he joked in the caption.
