In an interview with GQ Australia in October, he said: ‘My wife and I fell in love, had kids, didn’t really see each other for a few years, then fell back in love.’ 

‘In terms of work, [Elsa has] certainly given up more than I have,’ the hunky star said, adding it was ‘crucial’ for him to continue accepting acting roles to secure his career ‘longevity’.

Earlier this year, Elsa took Instagram to slam rumors suggesting her marriage to Chris was on the rocks.
