Lara Worthington has shared a touching tribute to husband Sam Worthington. 

The glamorous stay-at-home mother celebrated the Avatar star on Father’s Day, held on June 15 in the US, by sharing a gallery of rarely seen family photos to Instagram. 

In the carousel, Sam looked every inch the doting father to their three children, showing a softer side to the notoriously private actor.

In one frame, the 48-year-old is seen smiling for the camera while horsing around with his sons in a swimming pool.

In another frame, Sam is pictured tenderly nursing one of his sons on a private jet while playfully sucking on a dummy.

Lara captioned the images simply, writing, ‘Happy Father’s Day’ across all three.  

Lara and Sam began dating in 2013 and married the following year.

The model previously told The Daily Telegraph that the couple are enjoying growing old together.

‘We’ve only got each other. Sam and I are a good team. We’re both Australians and we have the same values. We come at our children as a team… I think that’s really important,’ she said.

Lara went on to say that she and her family are ‘all very close’ and that she isn’t too strict a parent.

‘They always make me feel so good, especially Sam. I don’t want that to ever go; I hope it doesn’t,’ she said.

‘But being able to be a mum and to work definitely stems from your partner. Sam and I are on the same page, so I feel like he’s “got me” when I’m working and vice versa.’

Sam and Lara currently split their time between Sydney and New York.

Last year, the Avatar star revealed he had no plans for a permanent move Down Under any time soon.

Speaking to GQ Australia, Sam said that he owed ‘everything’ to his adopted homeland.

‘No. I like America,’ Sam said when asked if a move was in the couple’s future.

‘America has given me everything and I’ve been here for 20-odd years. There’s anonymity but there’s also a real sense of community which is very cool.’

Sam added he was also enamoured by New York – a place where his acting is not always the first topic of conversation.

They share three sons – Rocket, Racer and River.
