The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is on the brink of hitting theaters. However, even before Henry Cavill could bring Guy Ritchie’s stylized take on real WWII events to life, he shocked the online world with a bombshell.

While the British actor is known for being an open book about most aspects of his life, he has always kept his romantic affairs close to the vest. However, much to the surprise of his fans, Cavill recently broke his silence and announced his new chapter with Natalie Viscuso.

With their first child on the way, Henry Cavill shared how he and his sweetheart are feeling about the whole parenting adventure they are about to embark on.

Henry Cavill’s feelings as he approaches the threshold of fatherhood

While Cavill has been teasingly crowned “daddy” on TikTok for quite a while now, nobody quite expected him to leap into fatherhood until he dropped the bombshell to Access Hollywood. After much speculation, the 40-year-old actor revealed at the premiere of his latest movie, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, on Monday that his girlfriend Natalie Viscuso is pregnant with their first child. “I’m very excited about it,” the Enola Holmes star expressed.

He also mentioned that both he and Viscuso are thrilled about it. Speculations about the pregnancy started when the vice president of Vertigo Entertainment was recently seen with a baby bump during a public appearance in NYC. This news also came after more than 2 months ago in January 2024, when an Instagram post from Viscuso’s account (@nviscuso) had some fans wondering if she was pregnant.

While Cavill’s announcement caught everyone off guard, he has always been keen on the idea of little ones.

Henry Cavill’s views on starting a family

Back in 2015, during an interview with Vanity Fair, Henry Cavill was asked about his thoughts on marriage and kids. He responded by saying he “hoped that happens” someday. According to the former fantasy dad of The Witcher, handling life with kids was not tough. But he believed it would only work if he found “the right person” to raise them with.

Henry Cavill wished he could always keep the woman of his dreams happy as he is a “romantic” at heart. Additionally, given the nature of his work, he believed the person he starts a family with must fit into his world. And with this recent pregnancy announcement, it looks like he might have finally found the right woman he spoke of once.
