For all of you who've been using your crystals to manifest Henry Cavill singleness, now may be a good time to stop because sadly, he is off the market...and has been for at least more than a year now (womp, womp).
Who is the lucky lady, you ask? That’d be Natalie Viscuso. The couple tends to keep their 'ship pretty out of the spotlight, but Henry just posted a pic of the two of them to his Instagram grid during a walk in a wooded area:

Natalie was on an episode of My Super Sweet 16
Remember MTV’s My Super Sweet 16, the show about spoiled teens throwing lavish birthday parties that rival most people’s wedding days? Duh, ofc you do. Believe it or not, Henry’s GF was featured on episode 5 of season 1 back in 2005, and her episode was described as follows:
“Natalie has just moved from dull Roswell, New Mexico, to glamorous La Jolla, California, to live with her wealthy dad and stepmom. 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?” 10/10 would watch again.
You might better remember her as the girl who made it her mission to kick out all the uninvited freshmen, but if that’s not ringing a bell, then here’s a clip to jog your memory.

Seems a little unfair that she landed on this list of ~legendary freak-outs~ alongside the girl who got her Lexus a few days too early and lost her GD mind over it, but w/e. Oh, and you can watch the full episode on Amazon Prime if you’re so inclined (you’re welcome).
She is now a Hollywood exec
After her brief stint in reality TV land, Natalie eventually became the vice president of television and digital studios at Legendary Entertainment, per her LinkedIn. JSYK, Legendary happens to be one of the companies behind Henry’s 2020 movie Enola Holmes, which is perhaps how they met?? This seems like a case for Enola, tbh.

Henry and Natalie first sparked dating rumors in April 2021
In early April 2021, the Daily Mail published pics of Henry and “his new blonde girlfriend” (who was later identified as Natalie, obv) walking his pup and holding hands in London. Cute! Not long after, Henry and Natalie both confirmed the relationship themselves by posting matching pics of the ’gram, which is when you know it’s real.

“My beautiful and brilliant love Natalie”?? My heart!!
Henry’s fans initially came after Natalie
Once they made their IG debut, Henry’s fans apparently made it *very* clear they weren’t happy with his updated relationship status. The actor even took to Insta himself to defend Natalie and their relationship in May 2021.
Alongside a selfie of himself and Natalie, he wrote a lengthy caption to trolls asking them to kindly back TF off, which concluded with, “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.”

You tell ’em, Henry.
An old photo of Natalie caused some major controversy
In June 2021, Natalie’s friend posted a majorly questionable photo on Facebook of Natalie wearing a tribal outfit and covered from the neck down in otji*ze, a pigment used by the Himba community of Namibia to protect themselves from the harsh desert climate. “Still my favorite shot of Natalie, taken in Africa when she was there shooting a TV show,” the friend captured the photo. “She took the time to make an advertisem*nt promoting clean water for the people there.”
The photo went viral and people got pissed, with some angry fans even creating a petition demanding Netflix drop Henry from The Witcher due to his involvement with Natalie. Eventually, Natalie released a statement to the Daily Mail apologizing for the pic.
“Firstly, I’d like to say that I’m sorry if this image surfacing has caused any offense,” she said. “It is a photo from 2008 for a TV show in Namibia. The tribe I was living with painted my skin as part of an initiation ceremony and an acceptance into their culture. Never in a million years did I think that this would be offensive; in fact, I felt honored that they would initiate me. However, with the lessons that we are all learning in today’s climate, it is important that I recognize that this is potentially hurtful. My deepest and most sincere apologies.”
Side note: Still unclear what TV show she was filming, but I think it’s safe to say it never made it to air.
She and Henry are still going strong
While the couple has kept their relationship suuuper private, Natalie did post a rare ode to her man in November 2021 after he landed a cover story with the Hollywood Reporter. She posted a pic of the cover along with the caption, “I am so, so proud of you, Henry. You truly are the greatest man I have ever known. The Hollywood Reporter did an incredible job with this cover story—it really is a great read. SO PROUD I’m literally crying. 🤣”

Seems to me these two are still thriving, controversy aside.
