Henry Cavill, the beloved “Superman” star, has reached out to fathers worldwide for advice as he and his partner, Natalie Viscuso, prepare to welcome their first child. On Father’s Day, Cavill took to Instagram to share the exciting news and humorously seek parenting tips from his followers.
“Oh yeah…..and Happy Father’s Day ye dads out there. Turns out I shall be joining your hallowed ranks soon! Any tips??” Cavill wrote, alongside a photo of a baby crib. He added a playful note, “And don’t worry, pillows won’t be in the crib when the wee one arrives, just glue and scalpels so he or she can build Warhammer miniatures.”
The announcement follows Cavill’s confirmation in April that he and Viscuso are expecting their first child together. The actor expressed his excitement about becoming a father during the New York City premiere of “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.”
“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 “Access Hollywood.”
Cavill and Viscuso, a television executive, have been in a relationship for several years. They made their red carpet debut together in October 2022 and went Instagram official in April 2021, sharing a photo of themselves playing chess. Cavill affectionately referred to Viscuso as “my beautiful and brilliant love Natalie.”
The couple’s relationship blossomed during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a source revealing that they first connected years ago and maintained a friendship before it turned romantic. Despite travel restrictions, Viscuso flew from the United States to the UK to be with Cavill, showcasing their strong bond.
Cavill’s recent film appearances include roles in “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare,” released in April, and the spy thriller “Argylle,” released in February. The actor has also been candid about his views on intimate scenes in films, expressing on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast that he feels such scenes are sometimes overused.
As Cavill prepares for fatherhood, he continues to engage with his fans and share glimpses of his personal life. His humorous and heartfelt Instagram post on Father’s Day resonated with many, as he joined the ranks of expectant fathers eagerly awaiting the arrival of their little one.
Cavill’s journey into fatherhood marks a new chapter in his life, following significant changes in his career. In late 2022, it was confirmed that he would be stepping down from his role as Geralt of Rivia in “The Witcher” TV series after three seasons. Liam Hemsworth is set to take over the role, and Cavill expressed his support for Hemsworth’s portrayal of the character.
“As with the greatest of literary characters, I pass the torch with reverence for the time spent embodying Geralt and enthusiasm to see Liam’s take on this most fascinating and nuanced of men,” Cavill said.
As Cavill and Viscuso prepare to welcome their first child, fans eagerly anticipate more updates from the couple. Cavill’s request for parenting tips and his lighthearted approach to fatherhood have endeared him even more to his followers, who are excited to see him embrace this new role in his life.
