Pillows Won’t Be in the Crib!’ Henry Cavill’s Hilarious Take on Fatherhood Sparks Buzz

Henry Cavill, beloved worldwide for his roles as Superman and Geralt of Rivia, is stepping into a new role—fatherhood. The actor, 41, recently shared his joy and anticipation about becoming a first-time dad with his longtime girlfriend, Hollywood executive Natalie Viscuso, marking a heartfelt milestone in his personal life.

The news first broke publicly during the premiere of Cavill’s film The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare in April 2024, where he told Access Hollywood, “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.” His genuine enthusiasm set the tone for the months that followed, with fans and media outlets rallying behind the couple with messages of support.

On Father’s Day 2024, Cavill made the occasion even more special by posting a selfie in front of a nursery setup on Instagram. “Oh yeah… and Happy Father’s Day ye dads out there. Turns out I shall be joining your hallowed ranks soon! Any tips??” he wrote, blending humor and excitement. In a playful nod to his well-known love for Warhammer 40,000, he joked about filling the crib with “glue and scalpels” for miniature-building. Viscuso’s heartfelt comment—”I couldn’t ask for a better man to be the father to my children”—was met with thousands of likes, cementing the public’s warm reception.

The couple’s journey together has been closely followed since they made their relationship Instagram official in 2021, charming fans with their shared love for games, storytelling, and collaborative projects like the Warhammer 40,000 adaptation. Their red carpet debuts at the Enola Holmes 2 premiere and, more recently, the Argylle premiere, showcased a bond rooted in both personal affection and professional respect.

Throughout interviews, Cavill has offered glimpses into how their life is evolving as they prepare for their baby’s arrival. Speaking to E! News, he described their quieter evenings filled with “kitchen dance parties” and “bottles of wine,” though he added with a grin, “Obviously not now,” acknowledging Viscuso’s pregnancy.

Media platforms from HELLO! to Reddit communities celebrated the announcement, with Cavill’s fanbase—affectionately dubbed “The Cavillry”—expressing overwhelming excitement. Messages like “They’re gonna be epic parents!” captured the widespread sentiment.

As Henry Cavill embarks on this new chapter, his blend of humor, tenderness, and excitement has only deepened his fans’ admiration. With Natalie Viscuso by his side, Cavill’s future looks every bit as heroic at home as it does on the screen.
