Elsa Pataky and her husband Chris Hemsworth stepped out in London on Monday night as they headed to dinner together.
The model and actress, 45, wrapped up warm in a black padded coat as she linked arms with her Australian beau, 38, who looked dapper in a camel coat.
The couple have been in Europe for the last several weeks as Chris films Extraction 2 and they recently celebrated Christmas in Austria as a family.

Elsa looked casually chic in her cosy coat which she teamed with black jeans and leather heeled boots.
Meanwhile Chris showed off his suave sense of style in the buttoned up jacket which he wore with light blue jeans and suede boots.
The pair looked happy and relaxed, with Chris putting his arm around his beautiful wife as they took a night-time stroll together.
Chris and Elsa, who married in 2010, are parents to India, nine, and twins Tristan and Sasha, seven.

It comes after the couple recently suffered another setback in their plans to build a second ‘Westfield-style’ mansion on a 35 hectare site in an exclusive part of Byron Bay.
Daily Mail Australia revealed in August the Hemsworths wanted to build a new seven-bedroom home – each with its own ensuite bathroom – less than a kilometre from the $30million mega-mansion they call home.
The new digs is expected cost the Hollywood power couple $4.4million but at the moment remains on the planning shelf.
Daily Mail Australia has been told approval for the new compound has been put on hold due to a lack of expertise within Byron Bay Council.

‘The council has lost a bunch of their staff in recent times and there is a huge backlog in processing Development Approvals,’ a source told Daily Mail Australia.
‘Not much is happening with it at the moment.’
The development has been plagued with issues since it was lodged earlier this year, with experts claiming the Hemsworths are ‘dreaming’ if they hoped to come in on their documented budget.
‘The Development Approval said the estimated cost to build the two houses was $4.4m. I reckon that wouldn’t put Christmas dinner on the Hemsworth’s table,’ a building industry expert told Daily Mail Australia in August.
‘The figure will be way more.’
Chris purchased the land – about a kilometre from his existing Byron Bay mansion – for $4.25million in 2019.
Any blowout is unlikely to dent the coffers of the Thor star and his wife, who have a combined net worth of about $200 million.
Development plans were first lodged in March, with a final draft being submitted with Byron Bay Council in July.

If the setbacks are troubling the Hemsworths, they are doing their best to hide the pain.
Chris and Elsa are rumoured to be the recent buyers of an exclusive 1,312-acre oceanfront site in Tasmania called Piano Coves.
The area includes eight land titles with a price guide of between $10million and $15million.
The property, in the state’s northeast, boasts almost 3km of ocean frontage, including beaches and coves.
The sale comes after Chris and his brothers, Liam and Luke, bought several multimillion-dollar properties in NSW’s Northern Rivers region.
These purchases have helped ‘push up house prices’ in the town of Newrybar, 18km from Byron Bay.
