Director, Christopher Reeve recently posted a picture of Henry Cavill as 'Superman' from 15 years ago. Amid this, read on to know about all the women who had captured the actor's heart.
Henry Cavill is one of the most renowned actors in Hollywood. He is best known for playing ‘Clark Kent' aka ‘Superman’ in the DC Extended Universe. The first film in which he played the beloved character was 2013's Man of Steel. He kept reprising the role in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), Justice League (2017), and Black Adam (2022). Apart from this, other notable films and TV series that Henry appeared in include The Count of Monte Cristo (2002), Hellraiser: Hellworld (2005), The Tudors (2007-2010), Enola Holmes (2020) and more.
Irrespective of this, Henry Cavill donning the ‘Superman’ suit helped establish him as Hollywood's heartthrob, from an ordinary actor. Recently, director, Zack Snyder shared the first photo ever taken of Henry Cavill as ‘Superman’ from 15 years ago. According to reports, the picture was taken when Henry was wearing Christopher Reeve's suit for the screen tests for Man of Steel. It is worth noting that, just as Henry's acting career has, his love life has also drawn the spotlight from the time he stepped into the public eye to today. If you are interested in learning about all of the women Henry has dated, keep on reading.
Not many might be aware, but Henry Cavill's first romance in the public eye was with hairstylist, Susie Redmond. According to reports, the duo made their first public appearance as a couple in 2007 at the premiere of the film, Stardust. Apart from this, they usually kept their romance pretty low-key. Eventually, Henry and Susie called it quits after dating for a short time. Despite this, it is worth mentioning that Susie had a pretty impressive career of her own. If reports are to be believed, she was a stylist on movies such as Love & Friendship, The Rhythm Section, and Love, Rosie.
It was back in 2009 that Henry Cavill first met the British champion horse jumper, Ellen Whitaker, at the Olympia Horse Show. Soon their connection turned into a romantic one, and they started dating. In 2011, after a few years, Henry got down on one knee for her. Ellen revealed the same in an interview with the Belfast Telegraph the same year, stating:
“I couldn't believe when he asked me to marry him. I thought we were there to celebrate his birthday. It was such a surprise, and I am so happy.”
While it seemed like the wedding bells would go off for the two at any moment, in a shocking turn of events, Henry and Ellen broke off their engagement within a year. Although we do not know why the duo chose to make such a decision, one thing is for sure: it was a significant chapter in Henry's life.
After his failed engagement with Ellen Whitaker, Henry Cavill moved on with actress and former MMA fighter, Gina Carano. According to reports, the pair began dating in 2012 and had an on-again, off-again relationship for two years. While they were still together, Henry and Gina even adopted a puppy together in January 2014, something which showed how committed they were. Unfortunately, it was in this very year that they went their separate ways despite fans rooting for the powerhouse duo.
Henry Cavill's romance with The Big Bang Theory star, Kaley Cuoco, was one of the most talked-about celebrity romances of 2013. This was because their relationship lasted for a mere ten days. Yes, you read that right! Being in a really high-profile relationship, at the time, Kaley Cuoco reportedly gained a lot of fans on social media. Not only this, in an interview following her romance with the ‘Superman’ star, Kaley confessed that dating Henry was a completely new experience for her. In her words:
“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 seven months ago. The recognition has been crazy.”
Henry Cavill's relationship with Tara King raised a lot of eyebrows when they started dating in 2015. The major reason for this is that she was a 19-year-old college student, while Henry was 32, creating a 13-year age difference. According to reports, Henry and Tara met for the first time at a Mahiki nightclub in London.
Despite the public scrutiny that the duo faced after going public with their romance in October 2015, they continued to appear happy in each other's company. They were even seen attending high-profile events together, such as the 2016 Vanity Fair Oscar party. However, just like some of his previous relationships, Henry and Tara parted ways in less than a year.
In 2021, Henry Cavill made his relationship with Natalie Viscuso public. According to reports, she is a Hollywood executive. Interestingly, she also previously worked as the Vice President of Television and Digital Studios at Legendary Entertainment. If the name sounds familiar, it is because this was the same studio behind Man of Steel and Enola Holmes, both of which starred Henry Cavill.
Henry and Natalie's romance rumours first started when the actor posted a picture of them playing chess on his official Instagram account. As of now, their relationship still seems to be going strong, although Henry usually keeps his relationship with Natalie pretty low-key. It is worth mentioning that Henry and Natalie welcomed their first child together just a year ago, in January 2025.
