Henry Cavill is a girl dad!

The Man of Steel star, 42, revealed in a recent interview with British GQthat the baby he and girlfriend Natalie Viscuso welcomed earlier this yearis a girl while sharing a rare glimpse into their family life.

Speaking with the publication about becoming the new ambassador for Longines back in May, Cavill was asked what he considered to be the “most important time” in his life so far.

“My daughter being born, and the 5 of us [partner Natalie, daughter, Cavill and their two dogs] settling into our forever home,” he replied.

Elsewhere in the interview, Cavill also detailed what he does to disconnect and the importance of time in his life. “I’m a big fan of computer games which can be both a disconnect and a wonderful way to dive into storytelling,” he said. “Conversely, I also love to spend time outdoors soaking in the wonders of the world. Where I live has a magic to it that is difficult to describe.”

The actor said that he feels most grounded while “at home in the U.K.”

“I’ve found a very special place that speaks to my soul in so many ways,” he explained.

Cavill and the television executive, who he has been dating since 2021, were announced to be parents back in January, when PEOPLE confirmed that the pair welcomed their first baby together. At the time, the baby’s name, sex and birthdate remained private.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare star confirmed in April 2024 that he and Viscuso were expecting their first child, telling Access Hollywood at the film’s New York City premiere that they were “both very excited about it,” and he was “sure you’ll see much more of that.”

During his first Father’s Day as a dad-to-be that June, Cavill even asked his Instagram followers for some fatherly tips as he posed for a selfie in front of a nursery. “And don’t worry, pillows won’t be in the crib when the wee one arrives, just glue and scalpels so he or she can build Warhammer miniatures,” he joked.

It’s been nearly three years since Cavill and Viscuso made their red carpet debut in October 2022, as the couple stepped out at the Enola Holmes 2 premiere. They then announced that they’d be adapting the Warhammer 40,000 game together two months later, with Cavill writing that it was “a blessing beyond words, [as] without her we might not have found the perfect home at Amazon.”

The couple recently stepped out together in Italy for the Taormina Film Festival in Taormina on June 11, about six months after welcoming their little one.
