British actor Henry Cavill has made a bit of a name for himself in Hollywood, highly regarded for his roles in Superman: Man Of Steel, The Witcher and Netflix’s Enola Holmes.
Cavill has recently been working on a new lead part in a reboot of Highlander, being put together by John Wick producer Chad Stahelski. Cavill is expected to play immortal Scottish warrior Connor MacLeod in the adaptation of the 1986 classic, and the role will include elements brought into the TV series Highlander, using the same fictional framework, which ran for six seasons.
Naturally, those who play Scottish highlanders seem to rise through the ranks as verified heartthrobs, just ask Mel Gibson (Braveheart) and Sam Heughan (Outlander).
This won’t be a new experience to Cavill, who has garnered attention for his heart-throb status since his early roles. The natural question is, which lucky ladies have caught his eye over the years?
Here, we delve into his relationship timeline, including his sweet relationship with film executive Natalie Viscuso.
Henry Cavill’s Relationship Timeline
Natalie Viscuso (2021 – Present)
After a string of relationships, Cavill went ‘Instagram official’ with his now-partner Natalie Viscuso in April 2021. The post was playful and fun, with Cavill captioning a photo of the pair with, “This is me looking quietly confident shortly before my beautiful and brilliant love Natalie, destroys me at chess.” It was clear to see from his comments that Cavill loves Viscuso’s beauty and brains.
Viscuso is an Vice President of TV at Roy Lee’s Vertigo Entertainment, a film production company based in Los Angeles. She previously worked at Legendary Entertainment, which produced some of Cavill’s films including Man Of Steel and Enola Holmes. Cavill’s post came just days after the pair were first spotted by paparazzi wandering around London together.
Viscuso also shared the chess match with her followers, instead captioning it, “Just teaching my dear Henry how to play some chess…or…maybe he let me win?”
Adorable!
While Viscuso works in the industry, it appears that she comes from money. She was featured on season one of MTV’s My Super Sweet 16 in 2005, with the descriptor of the episode reading, “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?”
Originally from Roswell, New Mexico, she attended the University of Southern California.
Cavill and Viscuso made their red carpet debut at the premiere of Enola Holmes 2, in New York. In December 2022 this Hollywood couple announced they’re working on a new project together, an adaptation of the Warhammer 40,000 miniature game.
“For 30 years I have dreamt of seeing a Warhammer universe in live action,” Cavill wrote on Instagram. “Now, after 22 years of experience in this industry, I finally feel that I have the skill set and experience to guide a Warhammer Cinematic Universe into life.”
He added: “Partnering with Natalie Viscuso at Vertigo has been a blessing beyond words, without her we might not have found the perfect home at Amazon.”
Lucy Cork (2017-2018)
Cavill dated stuntwoman Lucy Cork between 2017 and 2018, after working on Mission Impossible 6 together.
Cork has worked on a string of action series, including The Witcher, which Cavill also stars in. She also adds Black Widow, Wonder Woman and Assassin’s Creed to her resume.
In August, 2017, Cavill took to Instagram to praise his girlfriend, while sharing a video of Mission Impossible 6.
“The video above is what positive forward motion, determination, bravery, strong will, dedication and self respect looks like. This is my Lucy. She is one of the best stunt women in the world. She has defined herself. She continues to define herself. She grows, everyday. She is Lucy Cork because she says so,” he wrote.
They were also spotted together at Wimbledon that year.
Tara King (2015-2016)
In 2015, Cavill, 33, briefly dated Tara King, who was just 19 at the time. The Sun reports that the pair met at a nightclub in London. The couple attended the Vanity Fair Oscars party together, courting controversy for their staggering age gap. They eventually called their relationship quits by May 2016.
Kaley Cuoco (2014)
The Big Bang Theory actress Kaley Cuoco reportedly dated Henry Cavill for just 10 days back in 2014. The pair called it quits rather quickly, making this one of his shorter romances over the years. Kaley later told Hello! that their short fling had been rife with paparazzi attention.
She said: “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 several months ago. The recognition was crazy.”
Gina Carano (2012-2014)
In 2012, Cavill sparked up a new relationship with Mandalorian actress Gina Carano. Carano is an actress and mixed martial artist. Their partnership was on-again-off-again, but they eventually ended their relationship in 2014.
Ellen Whitaker (2009- 2011)
According to The Sun, Henry Cavill dated an English show jumper, Ellen Whitaker for nearly two years from 2009 after they met at the Olympia Horse Show.
Cavill went as far as proposing to Ellen, in 2011, but eventually the pair decided that they would go their separate ways.
