Chris Hemsworth has been in a stable, loving relationship since early 2010. The same can't be said for his younger brother, Liam Hemsworth, as the Empire State star's rep confirmed on Monday, Sept. 16, that he is no longer engaged to Miley Cyrus. Chris spoke about the media frenzy surrounding Liam's love life while taping The Ellen DeGeneres Show that same afternoon. (The episode airs Tuesday, Sept. 17.)

"[Liam] seems to get lots and lots of attention as far as paparazzi, and partially that was because of the relationship that he's been in," host Ellen DeGeneres said. "You don't have that kind of paparazzi frenzy around you right now, do you?"

The 30-year-old Rush actor replied, "No, no, not quite. I'm lucky. I've spoken to a few people about it. I don't know that you can ever…It sort of is what it is. At times you're a target and at times you're not. If you have a film coming out or who you are dating and what have you… but, um, we've been lucky, my wife and I," he said, referring to Spanish actress Elsa Pataky.

 "We kind of live a pretty simple boring kind of life. We're not rolling out of clubs at 4 in the morning. Not to say that Liam is, by the way—well, he has once or twice!"

Chris didn't say anything else about Liam, but he was happy to talk about his 15-month-old daughter, India. "She's a little silverback gorilla…She's great. She's so physical and she has this thing of kind of kicking me in the head lately," he shared. "I lie next to her and it's just boot in the face. But everything she can grab ahold of, it's just about destroying it. She's well-behaved, but she's so physical."
