Henry Cavill recently welcomed his first child with his Hollywood executive girlfriend, Natalie Viscuso.
But while the producer, 34, is dating the icon that is Superman, she’s no stranger to the spotlight herself, after making her TV debut on MTV’s My Super Sweet 16.
The couple were seen taking a stroll along the Gold Coast in Queensland on Saturday as Natalie pushed a baby stroller and sported a huge diamond ring.
It’s unclear when the 41-year-old British actor and his lady love welcomed their new baby, as the notoriously private couple has yet to announce his birth or apparent engagement.
But the romance almost proved detrimental to the actor’s career after images emerged of Natalie in ‘blackface’ while on holiday in Namibia, and a petition was started to remove Henry from Netflix’s The Witcher.
So who is the vice president of entertainment that captured Henry’s heart? MailOnline looks at how Natalie went from humble beginnings to a controversial life in the spotlight, before landing the British hunk.
Henry Cavill recently welcomed his first child with his Hollywood executive girlfriend, Natalie Viscuso, but while the producer, 34, is dating the icon that is Superman, she herself is no stranger to the spotlight (in the photo together in January 2024).
It’s unclear when the British English actor, 41, and his lady love welcomed their new baby, as the notoriously private couple have yet to announce his birth or their apparent engagement (pictured in April).
Natalie works behind the scenes in the film industry and is believed to have met Henry when the two crossed paths for work.
Their friendship turned into romance during the COVID-19 pandemic and They made their relationship Instagram official in 2021 with a photo of them playing chess.
Natalie and Henry made their red carpet debut at the Enola Holmes 2 premiere in 2022.
In April last year, Henry revealed he was “very excited” to be expecting his first child with Natalie, and admitted he couldn’t wait to become a father for the first time.
That same year, Natalie shared a rare photo of her pregnancy and wrote, “It’s been a real pleasure having this boy… plus finally having an excuse to make my silhouette look like my movie hero.”
However, the couple’s relationship nearly derailed Henry’s rise in Hollywood in 2021, after images of Natalie in ‘blackface’ from a trip to Namibia in 2008 resurfaced online.
The row over the images was so feverish that there were calls for Netflix to remove Henry from his role in the hit show The Witcher due to his association with her.
The images showed Natalie dressed in East African tribal attire and her skin dyed from the neck down with what appears to be Otjize, a pigment – made from dairy fat and ocher – used by the Himba community of Namibia to protect themselves from the harsh climate.
Natalie made her television debut on MTV’s My Super Sweet 16 when she hosted a lavish birthday party.

In April last year, Henry revealed he was “very excited” to be expecting his first child with Natalie, admitting he couldn’t wait to become a father for the first time.
That same year, Natalie shared a rare photo of her pregnancy, writing, “It’s been an absolute pleasure having this boy… plus finally having an excuse to make my silhouette look like my movie hero.”
They were taken while she was appearing on a 2008 MTV reality show, where she spent time with an African tribe in Namibia who dressed her in native clothing as part of an initiation ceremony.
After a petition was started calling for Henry to be sacked at Netflix as a result of the scandal, Natalie told MailOnline: “Firstly, I would like to say that I am sorry if this image that has appeared has caused any offence.” It is a photo from 2008 for a television program in Namibia.
‘The tribe I lived with painted my skin as part of an initiation and acceptance ceremony into their culture. I never in a million years thought this would be offensive; In fact, I felt honored to be initiated.
‘However, with the lessons we are all learning in the current climate, it is important to recognize that this is potentially harmful. My deepest and most sincere apologies.’
The couple is temporarily living in Australia while he is busy in Australia working on an Amazon live-action animated series, Voltron.
Natalie is no stranger to the glitz and glamor of her own career in the entertainment industry, as vice president of Vertigo Entertainment, a Los Angeles-based production company. Vertigo is known for its iconic horror films, including The Grudge and The Ring.
And decades before her romance with Henry was revealed to the world, Natalie gained fame for a very different reason: hosting MTV cameras at her incredibly expensive and over-the-top sixteenth birthday party, where she welcomed 1,000 guests.
Natalie’s father, Michael, is a former nightclub mogul, which led to her appearing on the television series that later became a global hit.
‘Money is really not an object for me. “I’m really spoiled,” she said in the episode. “Sometimes I feel guilty about it, but I deserve everything I have because I’ve always been the good girl, never the rich girl.”

In the episode, which aired during the show’s first season, Natalie lived in a $5 million home in La Jolla, California, and drove her father’s Bentleys and Ferraris.
The opening clips show her flaunting her designer handbags and dining at expensive restaurants, before revealing how different her life was before her father brought her to live with him.
“I come from nowhere from Roswell, New Mexico,” he explains. ‘I lived with my aunt and uncle. Life was difficult. The entire city is only 20 miles long.
‘You can browse for about 10 minutes and you’ve basically seen a Dairy Queen and a Walmart. Roswell is just… a little boring.’
She continued, “When I lived in Roswell, there were a lot of people who were basically jealous of me and didn’t like me because I stood out for being prettier than a lot of people.”
But Natalie’s life was transformed when her father, nightclub owner Mike Viscuso, brought her to California to live with him.
At age 15, she moved in with her father and future stepmother, Melissa, in their $5 million home in Southern California, where she had a closet full of Gucci, Dior, and Louis Vuitton.
“My father always wanted me to live with him, but he knew I couldn’t do it alone,” she said, noting that her fiancé, Melissa, was responsible for getting her to California.
“She basically rescued me from there,” he said, adding, “This is where I belong.” We are now above the upper class. “We are at the top.”
He planned his party at one of his father’s five nightclubs and printed 1,000 invitations to hand out to the cool sophomores, juniors and seniors, but noted that no freshmen or “losers” would be allowed.

Natalie ended up choosing a one-of-a-kind fitted white dress from Paris Hilton-loved designer Nurielle for $900 to wear to her lavish party.
On the day of the party, she and some friends arrived at the packed nightclub in a Hummer limousine, making a grand entrance to a cheering crowd.
The party featured food, a chocolate fountain, mocktails, a pop-up tattoo artist, an oxygen bar, and even go-go dancers in their underwear.
Natalie’s father also appointed a bodyguard to follow her all night, intervening if someone insisted or if a boy got too groped.
In total, Natalie said the party cost at least $450,000.
MTV later reported that Natalie had moved to Austin, Texas, for her senior year of high school, where she played soccer.
The teen also revealed that she had been talking to Aaron Carter, who reached out to her after seeing her on the show.
“He’s a good guy,” she said, but added, “Who wants to be in a relationship during their senior year?!”
He also received an Audi A4 Turbo from his father in high school. In 2021, the same car has an MSRP of $46,365.
He said he planned to attend USC, which he did and graduated in 2011, and that he wanted to work with his father in his nightclub business.
