Henry Cavill is dating TV executive Natalie Viscuso. They have been in a steady relationship for the past two years.
English actor Henry Cavill left all his female fan followers speechless after he introduced the entire world to his girlfriend Natalie Viscuso. He took to his Instagram handle to share a sweet post of him playing chess along with his girlfriend, and wrote, “This is me looking quietly confident shortly before my beautiful and brilliant love Natalie, destroys me at chess.” He posted this on April 10, 2021. The same day Viscuso also shared the same post of them playing chess and she captioned the post, "Just teaching my dear Henry how to play some chess...or...maybe he let me win?”
Cavill who is always tight-lipped about his private life, came out in the open about his relationship, leaving everyone baffled. Before the revelation, the pair were spotted on a romantic walk together in London, sparking dating rumors. Days after the event, the two finally made it official through social media.

This company was known for producing Cavill’s movies such as Man of Steel and Enola Holmes. It could be assumed that Viscuso and Cavill met through her previous company. In 2022, Viscuso switched to Vertigo Entertainment and announced it on Instagram through a post. Her caption read, "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.”
Natalie Viscuso graduated from the University of Southern California and is originally from New Mexico. She moved to La Jolla, California, with her father and his then-fiance when she was young.
What happened between Natalie Viscuso and Henry Cavill fans?
After Cavill disclosed the news of dating the TV executive on his social media fans, some of his fans were left unhappy and pissed. They began trolling Viscuso and many were making unwanted gossip and assumptions about her relationship with the actor. This left Cavill furious who then took to his Instagram to defend his love but give out a kind warning to his fans to stop attacking Viscuso for no reason.
His lengthy post read, “Dear fans and followers, I wanted to make a wee community announcement. 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. 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. 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 of negative assumptions about both my personal and professional life just aren't true. Let's embrace this age of social enlightenment together, and move forward with positivity. 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.”
