Lara Worthington offered a rare glimpse into her personal life, sharing intimate photos with her husband, actor Sam Worthington, to celebrate his 50th birthday. The Australian model, 39, posted the images on Instagram on Monday, the day after the "Avatar" star reached the milestone.
The photographs depict the notoriously private couple during an outdoor dinner, set against a scenic mountain backdrop. They are shown smiling, embracing, and looking at each other affectionately. One image captures Lara leaning close to Sam across the dinner table, while another shows her with her arms around him, resting on his shoulder. A third photo shows Sam kissing Lara's head.
In a heartfelt caption accompanying the gallery, Lara paid tribute to her husband. "My passionate, loyal Leo teddy bear. Big heart, even bigger dreams. We love you," she wrote.
Despite Sam Worthington's significant Hollywood career, particularly his role as Jake Sully in James Cameron's "Avatar" franchise, the couple has largely maintained a low profile. This public display of affection provides a candid insight into their family life.
Lara and Sam began their relationship in 2013 after meeting in New York and married the following year in a private ceremony. They have three sons: Rocket, Racer, and River. The family divides their time between Australia and the United States.
The couple welcomed their first son, Rocket, on March 24, 2015, in Los Angeles. Their second son, Racer, was born in New York in October 2016. River was born in June 2020. Although the family is now based in the U.S., Lara has stated she remains Australian at heart, holding an Australian passport.
Lara has previously spoken about their relationship, telling The Daily Telegraph that she and Sam are a strong team and enjoy growing old together. "We've only got each other. Sam and I are a good team," she said. "We're both Australians and we have the same values. We come at our children as a team... I think that's really important."
