Is Elsa Pataky moving her whole family to Byron Bay? Chris Hemsworth's wife is seen spending time with her blood-relatives in Australia - while Covid crisis rages on in Spain

Elsa Pataky and Chris Hemsworth are without a doubt the most famous couple to live in Byron Bay.

And on Monday, speculation emerged that the Spanish actress, 44, may be slowly moving her family Down Under as the Covid-19 pandemic rages on overseas.

In his column for the Sydney Morning Herald, journalist Andrew Hornery wrote about the couple's 'white party' held last week, claiming the family aren't living 'in the same world as the rest of us' as they danced alongside their Hollywood pals.

'Add to that the Spanish flavour the lady of the (Hemsworth) manor, Elsa Pataky, has created, including bringing her extended family to live there, and the scene gets even more exotic,' he added.

While it's not clear which members of the clan he was referring to, Elsa's youthful mother Cristina Pataky Medianu is often seen with her daughter in the popular coastal town.

The duo were last pictured together enjoying a day out at Sydney's Luna Park in January 2021 with Elsa and Chris' children; daughter India Rose, eight, and twin sons Tristan and Sasha, six.

She's most likely shacked up at Elsa and Chris' $30million mansion, which the family have lived in since 2014.

Meanwhile, Elsa's younger half-brother Cristian Prieto Medianu already lives just five minutes down the road from the Hemsworth clan in a $1.5 million home.

According to The Daily Telegraph, Cristian and his wife, nurse Silvia Serra, live in a property in Suffolk Park - adding even more star power to the town.

Before making the big move, he and Silvia often stayed with Chris and Elsa in their home in Byron Bay.

Both he and Silvia were spotted having the time of their lives at the lavish event last week, which was actually a send-off for American TV personality and former model Michele Merkin, 45.

Meanwhile, Elsa recently gushed about her mother in an interview with Marie Claire Australia.

Elsa said her Romanian-born mother married young, before relocating to Spain to be with her husband. 

She said the marriage didn't last though and her mother soon had to pick up the pieces of her life.

'Mum always supported me to be whoever I wanted to be,' Elsa said, saying her mother told her to do whatever makes her 'happy' in life.

'The best advice she gave me was to fight for everything you want and to never give up,' Elsa said.
