The hunky actor simply captioned the photo with two love-heart emojis.

Chris has been busy filming scenes for Thor: Love and Thunder in Sydney in recent weeks, but in December he celebrated his 10-year anniversary with the Spanish model by sharing an adorable photo montage of the pair.

Among the gallery were images of the couple’s early days together, and some of the holidays they’ve enjoyed around the world.
