Imagine being blissfully wed and living your dreams, only to have tabloids constantly telling the world your marriage is a sham. That's the sitch for Chris Hemsworth, but he's having none of it.

Australian tabloid magazine Woman's Day published an article overnight claiming that superstar couple Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky were spending time apart, and their marriage was at breaking point.

Fed up with the speculation and misinformation, the Thor: Ragnarok actor hit up Instagram where he called out the magazine and poked fun at the speculations, announcing that he was "looking for a new wife," while Pataky (definitely still his wife) reclined next to him on a boat.

After the article claimed the dreamy couple were "spending time apart" (evidently not) Chris' cheeky caption took a swipe at both Woman's Day and "other misleading outlets."

Taking it all in his stride, the Australian actor who married Pataky in 2010, rounded out the post with a wry "Honey you still love me right?"

Congratulations tabloid magazines, you just got schooled by a Norse god. #PlayedYourself
