Chris Hemsworth's wife Elsa Pataky has given birth to twin boys.

The Thor star and the Spanish actress, who have a 22-month-old daughter India Rose, welcomed their sons into the world at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in West Hollywood on Thursday, according to UsMagazine.com.

A spokesperson for the couple confirmed the news but no further information is being released at this time.

An insider previously revealed that two security guards accompanied the couple to the hospital on Thursday afternoon after Elsa went into labour and watched over their private suite.

Proud father Chris, 30, previously gushed about family life and admitted he is happiest when he is with his wife and daughter: "Being a father is certainly a task. But the best one that I could ever ask for. Being home, being with the family, that's what it's about ... It makes me much more relaxed with work, because I have something that is far more important to me now."
