Liam Hemsworth’s Sister-in-Law Elsa Pataky Says He "Deserves Much Better" Than Miley Cyrus

Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus have both gone their separate ways since announcing their divorce in August after less than a year of marriage. The pair spent the majority of the last decade in a relationship, but decided to end things amicably earlier this year. In the aftermath, Miley has since been linked to both Kaitlynn Carter and then Cody Simpson, and Liam was recently spotted out with actress Maddison Brown. 

While Miley and Liam have chosen to maintain some semblance of privacy about the matter, Liam's sister-in-law Elsa Pataky recently shared her thoughts on the state of her brother-in-law's heart. Turns out, she's team Liam. "My brother-in-law, well…After a relationship that you've dedicated ten years to, he's a little bit down, but he's coping well, he's a strong boy and he deserves the best, I think he deserves much better," she told reporters at an event for the launch of the Christmas campaign of lingerie brand Women's Secret.  

"You always find support in your family, and he's joined at the hip with his brother, who has been there to give all the strength he needed," she continued. 

Since the split, Liam has been spending lots of time abroad with his family and recuperating outside of the spotlight. Only a few weeks after his split was announced, he took a trip with Elsa and his older brothers Chris Hemsworth and Luke Hemsworth around Australia.

"He needed to get out of town and away from it all to be able to get some perspective," an insider shared with a media house at the time. "He is with the people he loves and just taking each day as it comes. Everyone has been very supportive and trying to take his mind off of things. He's not in a rush to figure out where to go next."
