She helps Cavill with the cooking

Henry Cavill and Natalie Viscuso share a culinary bond, with Cavill often taking the lead in the kitchen while affectionately describing Viscuso as his “sous chef.” For Cavill’s 39th birthday celebration, the couple opted for a cozy night in, preparing their own version of Persian-style chicken kabobs, saffron rice, and tzatziki.

Cavill is known to participate in the annual Durrell Challenge, a 13-kilometer race benefitting the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust and Jersey Zoo. In 2022, Viscuso joined him, but the couple opted to walk rather than run.

“Our Durrell Challenge is officially complete!,” the actor captioned an Instagram post Sunday. “We decided to walk it today, mostly because I’ve had the nine shades of hell beaten out of me through two weeks of fight scenes, and ma body wasn’t ready for a 13km run! I also suspect that Natalie may have broken her foot a little while ago, so I’m utilising her injury as a convenient excuse for me!”
