That explains why Elsa Pataky was so absent from all “Thor: The Dark World” promotional events and even perhaps why leading man Chris Hemsworth made fewer appearances than expected: the happy couple are expecting their second child together.

A publicist for the couple has confirmed the happy news for People magazine, but has refused to offer more details about it or even to hint at an estimated due date.

Right now, Chris and Elsa are in the Canary Islands where he’s shooting a new movie.

Paparazzi photos of the couple, together on location with their adorable 18-month daughter India Rose and a large group of family and friends, started a genuine debate in the blogosphere on the possibility of Elsa being pregnant again.

As it turns out, she actually is.

As noted above, Chris Hemsworth barely did any promoting for his most recent Marvel film, in which he plays the God of Thunder Thor and, when he did, Elsa was not there by his side on the red carpet, though she’s usually a fixture at such events.

This got celebrity pundits to speculate that either they were having some kind of marriage crisis or were pregnant again and Elsa wanted to wait the recommended 3 months before shouting the happy news from rooftops. Luckily, the latter turned out to be the case.

In a recent interview with Us Weekly, Elsa, who is also an actress talked about how motherhood had changed her and how she wanted to protect the planet more to make sure her children also got to enjoy it.

“You become more sensitive about a lot of things. With things like this, the ocean, you want to protect it for your kid to be able to see the world the way I saw it. That's important for them to not lose it. There are so many animals endangered now in the ocean; it'll be sad she won't enjoy all those things,” she explained.
