Los Angeles, Oct 24 (IANS): Actor Chris Hemsworth has shot down reports that his marriage to model Elsa Pataky is in trouble.

Hemsworth took to Instagram on Sunday to share an image with his wife, addressing Australian magazine Woman's Day's claims that the couple was "taking a break from each other," reports aceshowbiz.com.

"Looking for a new wife according to Woman's Day and other misleading outlets," wrote the "Thor" actor, confirming that his marriage is going fine. 

"Honey you still love me right? Elsa Pataky," he added.

The magazine was the first to report that the couple had "decided they need space".

"Hopefully it will be a case of absence makes the heart grow fonder, but they definitely appear to have some issues that need to be sorted out. It has raised a few eyebrows among their friends," a source told the magazine.

The magazine also claimed that Pataky's holiday in her native Spain last month without Hemsworth by her side was the proof that the couple could be "Hollywood's next big split".
