Who Is Natalie Viscuso? Everything You Need to Know About Henry Cavill’s GF

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 at least two 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)_/¯:

Oh, and they've since totally gone red carpet official. Ahem, presenting exhibit A at the Enola Holmes 2 premiere:

And exhibit B at the UK premiere of The Witcher season 3:

And there's still *a lot* more where that came from! So if you wanna know more about Henry’s girlfriend, then 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 more recently 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.

“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.

“Firstly, I’d like to say that I’m sorry if this image surfacing has caused any offense,” she said. “It is a photo from 2008 for a TV show in Namibia. The tribe I was living with painted my skin as part of an initiation ceremony and an acceptance into their culture. Never in a million years did I think that this would be offensive; in fact, I felt honored that they would initiate me. However, with the lessons that we are all learning in today’s climate, it is important that I recognize that this is potentially hurtful. My deepest and most sincere apologies.”

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 still going strong — and expecting their first child together

After the pair was photographed taking a stroll in NYC, rumors started circulating that Natalie might be pregnant as a slight bump was visible in her black dress. During an interview with Access Hollywood at the premiere of his movie, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, Henry confirmed that he and Natalie are expecting their first child together. When asked if he was inspired by his co-star Henry Goulding's journey with fatherhood, the Argyle star said, "I mean, he didn't inspire me, my parents did. I'm very excited about it, Natalie and I are very excited."

While the couple has kept their relationship generally private, Natalie *did* post an ode to her man in November 2021 after he landed a cover story with the Hollywood Reporter. She posted a pic of the cover along with the caption, “I am so, so proud of you, Henry. You truly are the greatest man I have ever known. The Hollywood Reporter did an incredible job with this cover story—it really is a great read. SO PROUD I’m literally crying. 🤣”

They’re red carpet official

After roughly a year and a half of dating, the two attended the Enola Holmes 2 premiere on October 27, 2022 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 on December 12 of that year when they showed out at the Avatar: The Way of Water premiere. And although we have some—erm—lackluster thoughts on the movie, the stunning couple is anything but.

More recently, the two had *the* most glam date night at the Argylle London Premiere on January 24, 2024. Am I jealous these two were casually in the presence of Dua Lipa, Ariana DeBose, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Samuel L. Jackson? Yes. Am I happy they seem to be as strong as ever? Also yes!

They adopted a puppy

Truly didn't think these two could get more official, but here we are! In a pic posted by the actor in June 2023, he revealed:

Back in April, our French Bulldog, Meat, died. He lived a very long life (14 and a half years) and his last years were filled with adventure and fun. Nevertheless his passing hurt. It hurt a lot. Life must go on, however, and it did, but there was a hole in our hearts that needed nourishing. There is no replacing Meatboi, but Natalie and I have opened a new chapter in our lives, in a few ways, and this little chap is one of them! This is Baggins! Kal is being a rather tropey grumpy old man, and Baggins is ever enthusiastic to make friends. Baggins is a little wonder and also a little terror, just as puppies should be, and he is indeed nourishing our hearts.

The “new chapter” with Natalie is giving very much settled down vibes and I, for one, love it. 🥺❤️

Seems to me these two are still thriving, controversy aside.
