For all of you who’ve been using your crystals to manifest Henry Cavill singleness, now may be a good time to stop because sadly, he is off the market…and has been for nearly four years now (womp, womp).
Who is the lucky lady, you ask? That’d be Natalie Viscuso. The two tend to keep their ’ship pretty out of the spotlight, but Henry *did* post a sweet pic of the two of them to his Instagram grid in May 2022 during a walk in a wooded area, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯:
It became clear things were serious after Henry confirmed he and Natalie were expecting their first child together in April 2024...and FYI, that little bundle of joy has officially arrived! Oh, and if that's not exciting enough, the couple might even be engaged.
If you wanna know more about Henry’s girlfriend/maybe-fiancée, you’ve come to the right place, because we’re about to do a deep dive—starting with the fact that you maaay already recognize her for a surprising reason. Let’s get into it.
Natalie was on an episode of My Super Sweet 16.
Remember MTV’s My Super Sweet 16? The show about spoiled teens throwing lavish birthday parties that rival most people’s wedding days? Duh, ofc you do. Believe it or not, Henry’s GF was featured in episode 5 of season 1 back in 2005, and her episode was described as follows:
“Natalie has just moved from dull Roswell, New Mexico, to glamorous La Jolla, California, to live with her wealthy dad and stepmom. At 15 years old, Natalie is now living in a $5 million house and cruising around town in her dad’s Bentleys and Ferraris. What more could she want? How about being the most popular girl at school?” 10/10 would watch again.
You might better remember her as the girl who made it her mission to kick out all the uninvited freshmen, but if that’s not ringing a bell, then here’s a clip to jog your memory.
Seems a little unfair that she landed on this list of ~legendary freak-outs~ alongside the girl who got her Lexus a few days too early and lost her GD mind over it, but w/e.
P.S. You can watch the full episode on Amazon Prime if you’re so inclined (you’re welcome).
She is now a Hollywood exec.
After her brief stint in reality TV land, Natalie eventually became the vice president of television and digital studios at Legendary Entertainment. JSYK, Legendary happens to be one of the companies behind Henry’s 2020 movie Enola Holmes, which is perhaps how they met?? This seems like a case for Enola, tbh.
That said (!!), Natalie later moved on to the totally casual role of vice president of TV at Roy Lee’s Vertigo Entertainment, per Deadline. Iconic!
Henry and Natalie first sparked dating rumors in April 2021.
In early April 2021, the Daily Mail published pics of Henry and “his new blonde girlfriend” (who was later identified as Natalie, obvi) walking his pup and holding hands in London. Cute!
Not long after, Henry and Natalie both confirmed the relationship themselves by posting matching pics on the ’gram, which is when you know it’s real.
V much appreciate the Queen’s Gambit vibes here.
“My beautiful and brilliant love Natalie”?? My heart!!
Henry’s fans initially came after Natalie.
Once they made their IG debut, Henry’s fans apparently made it *very* clear they weren’t happy with his updated relationship status. The actor even took to Insta himself to defend Natalie and their relationship in May 2021.
Alongside a selfie of himself and Natalie, he wrote a lengthy caption to trolls asking them to kindly back TF off, which concluded with, “I am very happy in love, and in life. I’d be enormously grateful if you were happy with me. If you can’t bring yourself to be happy with me, then at the very least try to do yourself proud and be the best version of yourself.”
You tell ’em, Henry.
An old photo of Natalie caused some major controversy.
In June 2021, Natalie’s friend posted a majorly questionable photo on Facebook of Natalie wearing a tribal outfit and covered from the neck down in otjize, a pigment used by the Himba community of Namibia to protect themselves from the harsh desert climate. “Still my favorite shot of Natalie, taken in Africa when she was there shooting a TV show,” the friend captured the photo. “She took the time to make an advertisement promoting clean water for the people there.”
The photo went viral and people got pissed, with some angry fans even creating a petition demanding Netflix drop Henry from The Witcher due to his involvement with Natalie. Eventually, Natalie released a statement to the Daily Mail apologizing for the pic, explaining that the photo was "from 2008 for a TV show in Namibia" and the tribe with whom she was living "painted [her] skin as part of an initiation ceremony."
Side note: Still unclear what TV show she was filming, but I think it’s safe to say it never made it to air.
She and Henry are red-carpet official.
In October 2022, after roughly a year-and-a-half of dating, the two attended the Enola Holmes 2 premiere and looked picture-perfect on the red carpet. The outing marked their first ~official~ joint event, and tbh, these two couldn’t have looked happier.
Henry and Natalie kept the good times rolling in December of that year when they showed out at the Avatar: The Way of Water premiere.
Most recently, the two had *the* most glam date night at the Argylle London premiere in January 2024.
They're still going strong—and just welcomed their first child together.
After the pair was photographed taking a stroll in NYC in April 2024, rumors started circulating that Natalie might be pregnant. Soon after, during an interview with Access Hollywood at the premiere of his movie, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, Henry confirmed that he and Natalie were expecting their first child together.
And while they haven't confirmed the child's birth themselves, the Daily Mail obtained pics of the couple pushing a stroller during a January 2024 trip to Australia, soooo I'm pretty sure bb has arrived!
Eagle-eyed fans also spotted what *looks* like an engagement ring on Natalie's finger in the same pics...but again, no word from the duo yet confirming this.
Seems to me these two are thriving rn, controversy aside.
