His partner does not wear a cape, but his child: the interpreter of
Superman,
Henry Cavill, will become a father at the age of 40.
In a video posted on social networks Monday April 15, we see the man alongside his partner Nathalie Viscuso, 33, leaving their hotel in New York with a very rounded belly, suggesting that the latter is indeed pregnant.
Tuesday April 16, Henry Cavill confirmed the news during an interview for the site Acces Hollywood, on the occasion of the preview of his new film
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare
by Guy Ritchie, in which he will hold the one of the main roles: “I’m very excited about it. Natalie and I are both very excited.”
A discreet relationship
Discreet about his private life, Henry Cavill and Nathalie Viscuso have been together since 2021 and keep their relationship private, only posting rare photos together. Both had taken their first steps as an official couple on the red carpet in 2022. The 33-year-old is the former vice president of Legendary Entertainment television studios, a company that has been in charge of film production like
Enola Holmes
or
Man Of Steel,
two films in which we find Henry Cavill.
During an interview for Deadline magazine in 2022, the actor said about her: “My partner, Natalie Viscuso gave me so much self-confidence (…) I try to do my best, but she has been an incredible support system for me and has really opened my eyes to a lot of things (...). And I am forever grateful to him for that.”
Finally father
Although this news delighted some of his fans, the relationship between Henry Cavill and his partner has in the past been heavily criticized, with admirers of the superhero believing that Natalie Viscuso was not good enough for him. The criticism was such that in May 2021, in an Instagram post, the actor asked his fans to no longer give their opinion on his love life.
In 2017, aged 34, Henry Cavill spoke of his desire to become a father in an interview with Men's Health UK magazine: "If I have children one day, I want to be the kind of father who runs after them, had -he says. It's getting late, but I want to be a fit, healthy dad who's not just hobbling around and saying, OK, I'm just going to get some fresh air." A future role that the actor will seem to take very seriously after so many years of waiting for his turn.
