Henry Cavill’s relationship with girlfriend Natalie Viscuso has been going strong for months. While the two have kept most parts of it private, they’ve shared little glimpses here and there of their partnership.
In November 2021, Viscuso shared her latest tribute to the Justice League actor. “I am so, so proud of you, Henry. You truly are the greatest man I have ever known,” she wrote. “The Hollywood Reporter did an incredible job with this cover story—it really is a great read. SO PROUD I’m literally crying. 🤣”

So who is Viscuso and what is her history with Cavill? She’s not exactly new to the spotlight. Here’s what we know about her.
She was on My Super Sweet 16.
It’s been more than 16 years since the first episode of the popular MTV series first aired, but if you can think back to season 1, you might recognize Viscuso. Her 16th birthday party was featured on the 2005 season with the following description:
“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 from New Mexico, but she spent the latter part of her teen years in California.
The episode description also mentions: “Natalie has just moved from dull Roswell, New Mexico to glamorous La Jolla, California to live with her wealthy dad and stepmom.”

“Today I’m choosing to remember her in all of her incredible beauty, joy and radiance that she was so loved for,” she wrote, a year after her death. “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 never believed she was dying. She had such a hunger for life and desperate need for us to be together, mother and daughter…she just wouldn’t accept death. She fought the most excruciating battle…I actually can’t fathom anything worse. But she fought every step with her beautiful smile brightening up the darkest of rooms. She is the strongest woman I’ve ever known. Today, that’s what I’m remembering. And of course, #fuckcancer.”

Cavill and Viscuso went Instagram official in April with a chess shot.
“This is me looking quietly confident shortly before my beautiful and brilliant love Natalie, destroys me at chess,” Cavill wrote of the Instagram that revealed their romantic relationship. He shared a photo of him and Viscuso, who was looking at a chess board as if she’s in a scene of Netflix’s The Queen’s Gambit.

Viscuso also posted the photo on her Instagram grid with the caption, “Just teaching my dear Henry how to play some chess…or…maybe he let me win? 🤷🏼♀️”
Cavill has spoken out against abuse she’s received since their relationship became public.
In May 2021, the actor posted on Instagram asking his online followers to stop speculating about his personal life. Alongside a photo of him and his girlfriend, Natalie Viscuso, he wrote:
“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 realizing 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.”

This post came a little more than a month after Cavill posted the first Instagram official photo of Viscuso.
Cavill and Viscuso first sparked dating rumors in early April 2021.
The couple ultimately went Instagram official just days after they were seen walking Cavill’s dog, Kal in London. The Daily Mail ran photos of them, seemingly outing their relationship.
Cavill’s relationships have long been an interest of the British tabloids, but his relationship with Kaley Cuoco might have been the most high-profile of his past.
Per Cosmopolitan, the two only dated for about 10 days in the summer of 2013—but the pairing got a significant amount of press. Cuoco credited Cavill for making her more of a paparazzi target.
“It was Superman,” Cuoco told the magazine in 2014.
“I had no one following me until I met Superman. I’ve been in this business for 20 years, and my whole life, I could go anywhere, do anything. There had not been one paparazzi photo of me until like seven months ago. The recognition has been crazy. And then meeting Ryan and getting engaged so fast, I knew people were going to think it was so ridiculous.”
During an interview with Andy Cohen in December 2020, the talk-show host asked Cuoco about her ex-Superman, per Us Weekly.
“Kaley, is the Man of Steel really made of steel?,” he asked, reading off a fan question
“Oh, my God,” she said. “I don’t know. I never say, ‘I don’t know.’ I always have an answer, but I don’t know.”
Viscuso signaled her relationship with Cavill was going strong six months in when she shared a rare Instagram tribute to him in November 2021.
Viscuso congratulated Cavill on his The Hollywood Reporter cover story. “I am so, so proud of you, Henry. You truly are the greatest man I have ever known,” she wrote. “The Hollywood Reporter did an incredible job with this cover story—it really is a great read. SO PROUD I’m literally crying. 🤣”
