Natalie Viscuso was a corporate executive. Then she walked onto a film set and met Henry Cavill.

Henry Cavill and his longtime girlfriend, Natalie Viscuso, have the opposite of a Hollywood romance.

They're as low-key as a celeb couple can be. They welcomed their first child in early 2025, but they've kept the baby's name, gender, and exact birthdate under wraps.

The couple were first spotted with their newborn on January 18, 2025, while taking a stroll in the Gold Coast, Australia. Cavill is currently in Australia filming the live-action Voltron movie, where he plays a lead role in the reimagining of the 1980s animated series.

In a surprise appearance, Cavill and Viscuso walked the red carpet of the 2025 AACTA Awards. Cavill is scheduled to present at the ceremony, which explains the random Hollywood celebrity cameo at our humble awards.

The Superman actor opened up on Father's Day 2024 in the United States about her girlfriend's pregnancy, by showing off his soon-to-be baby's nursery.

"Oh yeah... and Happy Father's Day ye dads out there. Turns out I shall be joining your hallowed ranks soon! Any tips?? And don't worry, pillows won't be in the crib when the wee one arrives, just glue and [scalpels] so he or she can build Warhammer miniatures..." the 41-year-old actor wrote.

"I'm very excited about it. Natalie and I are both very excited about it. I'm sure you'll see much more of that," he told Access Hollywood at The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare's New York City premiere.

The child has since been born, but any more info has not been publicly shared by the notoriously private couple.

Who is Henry Cavill's girlfriend?

Their relationship first went public in April 2021 when Daily Mail published paparazzi photos of Cavill walking around London and holding hands with "his new blonde girlfriend", in reference to Viscuso.

They confirmed their relationship within the same month by posting matching pictures of them playing chess.

On Instagram, Cavill captioned the photo: "This is me looking quietly confident shortly before my beautiful and brilliant love Natalie, destroys me at chess."

Alternatively Viscuso wrote: "Just teaching my dear Henry how to play some chess...or...maybe he let me win?"

They then made their red carpet debut together in October 2022 for the Enola Holmes 2 movie premiere.

Viscuso and Cavill have worked together since they began dating in 2021, having collaborated on the project to adapt the Warhammer 40,000 game together.

In an Instagram post, Cavill called their collaboration "a blessing beyond words, [as] without her we might not have found the perfect home at Amazon."

Sadly, not everyone has been a fan of the pair's relationship — so much so that Cavill had to issue a defence for his girlfriend in May 2021.

Alongside a selfie of them, he wrote a caption where he asked critics to leave them alone.

"I couldn't help but notice that there has been some social animosity of late. It's becoming increasingly prevalent on my feed. There has been lots of, let's call it speculation for now, about my private life and professional partnerships," he wrote.

"Now, while I do appreciate the passion and support by those very people who are 'speculating', It has come to such a point that I needed to say something, which in itself, is a bad thing."

Cavill continued, "We are living in an age of social enlightenment. More and more, people are realising that their views may have been blinkered and that they need to expand them to encompass others.

"So, to you out there who are expressing your disdain and showing your displeasure through a surprising variety of ways, it's time to stop. I know it can be fun to speculate, to gossip, and to dive into our own personal echo chambers on the internet, but your 'passion' is misplaced, and it causes harm to the people I care about most. Even your most conservative [or] negative assumptions about both my personal and professional life just aren't true...

He finished off by writing, "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."
