One of Henry Cavill’s relationships caused major controversy after he arrived to an event with a teenager on his arm.

Actor Henry Cavill is a total British heartthrob. Considering he literally played Superman in Man of Steel, how could anyone help but to swoon over him?

The star’s career started to gain traction in 2001 with the movie Laguna and, since then, he has been in the limelight. His dating history has also been on public display. Sadly, Henry is taken right now, but that doesn’t stop us from reminiscing on his past relationships.

Ellen Whitaker

After years in the spotlight, Henry’s first romantic connection was with champion horse jumper Ellen Whitaker in 2009. It was a very serious relationship and he even asked her to marry him in 2011.

Kaley Cuoco

In the middle of the hectic nature of his relationship with Gina, Henry began dating actor Kaley Cuoco. In the summer of 2013, the pair had a short-lived romance… and by short-lived we mean 10 days.

“I had no one following me until I met Superman,” Kaley told Cosmopolitan. “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 several months ago. The recognition was crazy.”

Tara King

Perhaps Henry’s most controversial relationship was when he dated Tara King in 2016. The pair have a major age gap. At the time, Henry was 33 and Tara was only 19. When people called out the 13-year difference, he hit back and defended it.

Apparently, Henry had found himself in a similar situation when he was 19, so he didn’t see much wrong with it. Henry was more worried about the maturity level of those involved rather than the number.

Henry and Lucy Cork’s relationship flew pretty under the radar. They met on the set of Mission: Impossible — Fallout and kept everything fairly lowkey, especially their quiet breakup.

In fact, their split was revealed by accident. An insider who had been at a party with Henry revealed to The Mirror that they heard his friends discussing his relationship status.
