Henry Cavill

Henry Cavill and his girlfriend Natalie Viscuso are expecting their first child. “The Witcher” star confirmed the delightful news during the premiere of Guy Ritchie’s “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” in New York City in an interview with Access Hollywood’s reporter, who asked him about taking on fatherhood.

“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,” Cavill said to the reporter.

Speculations about the pair’s first child started in January after they attended the premiere of “Argylle” in London, and Viscuso’s little baby bump was slightly visible through her white gown. On Monday, the news was confirmed after Viscuso, a television executive at Vertigo Entertainment, was spotted with Cavill in New York City wearing a fitted black dress that showed her round belly.

The couple confirmed their romance in April 2021 when each posted a picture of themselves playing chess together on Instagram.

“Just teaching my dear Henry how to play some chess … or … maybe he let me win?” Viscuso captioned the post, while Cavill wrote: “This is me looking quietly confident shortly before my beautiful and brilliant love Natalie, destroys me at chess.”

The lovebirds made their red carpet debut for the premiere of Netflix’s movie “Enola Holmes 2.”

Fans of the “Man of Steel” actor took to X to celebrate the news and share their excitement.
