Henry Cavill has revealed the gender of his baby with his partner Natalie Viscuso.
The Justice League star, 41, and Viscuso, 35, first announced they were expecting in April of last year and in January, the couple was spotted with a pram with their newborn in Australia.
The former Superman star has revealed that his first child is a daughter and mentioned her birth when asked about the most important time in his life.
Speaking to British GQ, the actor said: ‘My daughter being born, and the 5 of us [partner Natalie, daughter, Cavill and their two dogs] settling into our forever home.’
The star has yet to reveal his daughter’s name, and given his preference for privacy, it’s unlikely that he will share this information for some time – or at all.
In the same interview, he was also asked about where in the world he feels the most ‘grounded’, revealing it was at his home with his family.
‘At home in the UK. I’ve found a very special place that speaks to my soul in so many ways,’ he said.
Henry and Natalie were first spotted with their baby in January on the Gold Coast of Australia, where Cavill was filming a live-action adaptation of Voltron.
Eagle-eyed fans noticed that Natalie seemed to be wearing a diamond ring on her left hand, suggesting that the couple may be headed towards marriage.
Cavill first confirmed that they were expecting a baby in the spring of last year, when he told reporters at the premiere of his new movie, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, that he was thrilled at the prospect of becoming a father.
‘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 told an Access Hollywood reporter when asked about the concept of fatherhood generally.
When asked whether the depiction of fatherhood in his new film inspired him to become a parent, he responded: ‘I mean, he didn’t inspire me to do that. My parents did.’
The couple has been together at least since 2021, when they made their relationship official with a post on Instagram of the pair playing chess.
A month later in May 2021, the actor shared another post asking fans to allow him to keep his relationship with Natalie private.
‘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.’
He then added: ‘I am very happy in love, and in life. I’d be enormously grateful if you were happy with me.’
The pair prefer to keep their relationship offline, with Natalie making infrequent appearances on Henry’s social media, with the actor using his page primarily to promote his campaigns, TV shows, and films.
