Who Is Henry Cavill's Girlfriend? All About Natalie Viscuso

Henry Cavill and TV executive Natalie Viscuso made their relationship Instagram official in April 2021, shortly after being spotted on a romantic walk together in London.

"This is me looking quietly confident shortly before my beautiful and brilliant love Natalie, destroys me at chess," the Man of Steel star captioned a photo of the couple.

In a separate post featuring the same image, Viscuso wrote, "Just teaching my dear Henry how to play some chess...or...maybe he let me win?"

Cavill and Viscuso eventually made their red carpet debut at the Enola Holmes 2 premiere in October 2022.

The couple are currently expecting their first child together. Cavill announced the happy news in April 2024 at the New York City premiere of his film The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

So, who is Henry Cavill's chess partner? Here's everything to know about Natalie Viscuso and her relationship with the actor.

She was on MTV's My Super Sweet 16

Viscuso was featured on season 1 of MTV's My Super Sweet 16 in 2005. A description of the episode read: "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?"

She's originally from New Mexico

In her My Super Sweet Sixteen episode, Viscuso was described as hailing from "sleepy Roswell, NM," but moved to La Jolla, California, with her father and his then-fiancé.

She's the vice president of Vertigo Entertainment

Viscuso is the vice president at Roy Lee's Vertigo Entertainment, a Los Angeles-based production company behind Prime Video's Them: Covenant.

"Genre storytelling has been the beating heart of who I am ever since I was a child. I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to translate that passion into a career and to have done so with some of the best in the business," she wrote on Instagram after news of her new position broke.

Previously, she was the vice president of television and digital studios at Legendary Entertainment. Legendary was one of the companies that produced Cavill's films Man of Steel (2013) and Enola Holmes (2020). She previously worked in the scripted television departments at the Weinstein Company and ITV Studios.

She attended the University of Southern California

She graduated in 2011 with a bachelor's degree from the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts, where she was also involved in extracurricular activities and received academic honors.

According to Viscuso's now-deleted LinkedIn, her accomplishments included the dean's list and being a member of the Sigma Alpha Lambda and Phi Sigma Theta national honor societies.

She's a dog mom

Her Instagram is filled with pictures of her sweet French bulldog named Meat.

She shares loving posts in honor of her late mother

Viscuso's mother died in August 2017, and many of her posts honor her late mother's impact.

"Today I'm choosing to remember her in all of her incredible beauty, joy and radiance that she was so loved for," Viscuso wrote. "The last photo here is only a couple months before she died, and yet, she was still stunning, positive minded and shining with love."

She helps Cavill with the cooking

Cavill might do the cooking, but he describes Viscuso as his "sous chef." For his 39th birthday, the pair chose to celebrate at home, making their own take on Persian-style chicken kabobs, saffron rice and tzatziki.

He explained in the caption of the May 2022 post on Instagram that their entire menu was made from new recipes they found online.

She supports Cavill's philanthropic pursuits

Cavill is known to participate in the annual Durrell Challenge, a 13-kilometer race benefitting the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust and Jersey Zoo. In 2022, Viscuso joined him, but the couple opted to walk rather than run.

"Our Durrell Challenge is officially complete!," the actor captioned an Instagram post Sunday. "We decided to walk it today, mostly because I've had the nine shades of hell beaten out of me through two weeks of fight scenes, and ma body wasn't ready for a 13km run! I also suspect that Natalie may have broken her foot a little while ago, so I'm utilising her injury as a convenient excuse for me!"

She and Cavill made their red carpet debut at the Enola Holmes 2 premiere

The couple were all smiles as they posed together at the Enola Holmes 2 premiere in New York City in October 2022. Viscuso donned a gorgeous cream gown, while Cavill wore a pin-striped suit and a red tie.

She and Cavill are collaborating on a film

In December 2022, Cavill announced that he and Viscuso are working to bring a Warhammer 40,000 adaptation to the big screen.

"For 30 years I have dreamt of seeing a Warhammer universe in live action," Cavill wrote on Instagram. "Now, after 22 years of experience in this industry, I finally feel that I have the skill set and experience to guide a Warhammer Cinematic Universe into life."

He added: "Partnering with Natalie Viscuso at Vertigo has been a blessing beyond words, without her we might not have found the perfect home at Amazon."

Viscuso also shared a post about the project on Instagram.

"Fantasy, horror and sci-fi are the bedrock of my creative language, so when Henry introduced me to Warhammer a couple of years ago, I immediately felt at home," she captioned an image of a Deadline article. "Building a cinematic universe with Henry, our team at Amazon, and the empire that is Games Workshop, is an honor and a pleasure."

She's supportive of Cavill's career

Viscuso, a big fan of TV and film, has shown her support for Cavill's numerous acting projects over the years.

In June 2023, she joined her beau at the season 3 premiere of The Witcher in London. Cavill posed on the red carpet in a black suit, while Viscuso dazzled in a black and gold floor-length dress.

Roughly six months later, the couple traveled to Seoul, South Korea, for the premiere of Cavill's film Argylle.

She and Cavill are expecting a baby

In April 2024, Cavill confirmed that he and Viscuso are expecting their first child together.

"I'm very excited about it. Natalie and I are both very excited about it," he told Access Hollywood at the New York City premiere of The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.
