Henry Cavill gives rare glimpse into family life as he shares baby update and asks for parenting tips
Henry Cavill offered a glimpse into his personal life with partner Natalie Viscuso on Sunday, as they prepare to welcome their first child together.
In a Father’s Day tribute, the 40-year-old actor humorously asked for parenting advice while sharing a photo from their nursery, featuring a wooden cot and changing table.
The caption under the his selfie read: “Oh yeah…..and Happy Father’s Day ye dads out there. Turns out I shall be joining your hallowed ranks soon! Any tips??
“And don’t worry, pillows won’t be in the crib when the wee one arrives, just glue and scapels so he or she can build Warhammer miniatures. #FathersDay”.
In April, the British star disclosed that he was set to become a dad at the New York premiere of his film, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.
Speaking to Access Hollywood at the time, he said: "I'm very excited about it. Natalie and I are very, very excited.”
The news comes three years after Cavill, the star of Superman, and Viscuso made their romance Instagram official.
Cavill has previously dreamt about becoming a father. In 2017, he told Men’s Health UK that if he “ever has kids one day, I want to be the dad who's running round after them,”
He added: "If I do have kids, even now, it's starting to get quite late. But I want to be a fit and healthy dad, not hobbling round like, 'OK, I'm just going to catch a breather.' Yeah, I'm going to take care of my body – look good, but not smash it."
Cavill has been pretty private about his relationship, and the pair didn’t make their red carpet debut until late 2022, but they have shared their appreciation for each other.
Viscuso wrote on Instagram in 2021 to celebrate his Hollywood Reporter cover: "I am so, so proud of you, Henry. You truly are the greatest man I have ever known
While Cavill has spoken about her support.
He told Deadline back in 2022 that, "She has been an incredible support system for me and really opened my eyes to a lot of things, and opened a gateway for me to drive harder and pursue further. And I'm eternally grateful for that."
Although dating in the spotlight can be challenging, the Man of Steel actor made it plain that he wouldn't allow any haters to impact their relationship from the start.
In a message to his Instagram followers in 2021, he shared: "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."
