Snakes on a Plane star Elsa Pataky and her husband, Chris Hemsworth - star of The Avengers, have welcomed their first child.

Patacky gave birth to daughter India in London on Friday, where Hemsworth is currently promoting his next summer blockbuster, Snow White and the Huntsman (June 1); which he stars in alongside Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron.

"We love the country and love the name," he tells USA Today about the couple's choice of their baby's name.

The couple announced the pregnancy back in January; and they were married in Australia in December 2010 after meeting earlier that year.
