According to US Weekly and Horse & Hound, Henry and showjumper Ellen Whitaker are engaged. Henry popped the question during a recent trip to Hollywood.

“I couldn’t believe it when he asked me to marry him. I thought we were there to celebrate his birthday. It was such a surprise and I am so happy.”

Henry asked Whitaker’s father, Stephen, for permission before getting down on bended knee.

Congratulations to the couple!

(For those who doesn’t believe in Gossip magazines, the news were also posted at Ellen official website.)

It’s Henry’s 28th birthday today, and Mr. Cavill wanted to wish him all the best.

We don’t know much about Henry’s relationship with Ellen Whitaker, unless she gives some interviews and talks about it – he’s more private about it, which I really appreciate. She did an interview last week to London Evening Standard, and apparently, Henry was there while she was being interviewed. On this interview she talks a little about him.

When asked about the proposal, Whitaker says almost apologetically: “I’d rather not talk about it. But it feels good and I’m very happy.” That much is clear as Whitaker, sitting with Cavill at her side for the duration of our interview, talks about her life with the Jersey-born actor, who first came to prominence in the Tudors television series.

Appropriately enough, the pair met in the horse world, at Olympia two years ago when he was watching her compete. “It’s a long story,” she recalls. “But we just got chatting and he bought me a drink and that was it.”

The big day is planned for next year although, with his filming schedule and her bid to qualify for London 2012, they may yet have their work cut out getting it in the diaries.

Cavill, though, has clearly already become part of the famous Whitaker family, which has been a dominant force in equestrian circles for decades.

“Everyone loves Henry,” is the latest of the Whitaker riding dynasty’s take on her actor fiance. “He’s just a really lovely guy. My family all warmed to him very quickly and I know they’re very proud of him and what he’s doing. There’s a few jokes about Superman at the dinner table but that’s only joking, really.

Dear all Henry Cavill fans,
Unfortunately, due to illness, Henry will not be able to attend the BAFTA’s tonight. He has personally asked the HCMT to inform you all that he will not be there, as should you be considering braving the cold to try and see him, he doesn’t want your efforts to go unrewarded!
Having literally just finished filming Superman, Henry thanks you all for your continued support.
Kindest regards,
The HCMT (Henry Cavill Management Team)

Hope he feels better soon.

The Man of Steel wrapped up filming a month or so ago, with Henry Cavill sporting at least some kind of resemblance to the iconic look of Superman’s hair. While Cavill may not have featured the “S” curl — at least as Superman — he did have some hair nonetheless.
Now, a new image has surfaced of Cavill featuring a buzz cut. It is unknown whether or not Cavill buzzed his head for a new movie, or to just look like the following super fan — Rob Allan!
Rob met Henry on a flight in Dublin, and posted the following pic on the Man of Steel Fan FB Page.
Pretty cool. For more from Henry Cavill check out Immortals currently on Blu-Ray, The Cold Light Of Day this coming Fall, and the Man of Steel in June of 2013.

That makes me nostalgic for S1 Charles Brandon…

Mark Twight, the lead fitness trainer on Zack Snyder’s upcoming Superman reboot Man of Steel, received this very cool commemorative coin from actor Henry Cavill to “remember the satisfyingly hard work and good times.” Here’s his statement to the crew:

“Thank you so much for all of your hard work over such a long shoot. During shooting I discovered that the US military have a series of coins to commemorate each department and individual force within the military so I thought, considering the epic journey we all went through on such an iconic project, it only fair that we have our own coin too! This is just a little souvenir to keep and remember the satisfyingly hard work and the good times from start to finish – Henry Cavill”

Twight’s wife shared a photo of the coin with her followers on Twitter.

Today is Henry’s 29th birthday, and MrCavill.com would like to wish him a great day with his beloved ones. We’ll be here cheering for you another year, wishing you continued success!

Feel free to leave a birthday message to him in our comments.

Henry posted yet another thank you message to everyone who came out to support the world premiere of Justice League last week. The video starts with Henry mentioning he loves premiere nights, before standing up and revealing he was pants-less. Cheeky! Then comes some more highlights from the preparation to the interviews done during the red carpet premiere.

Henry announced in his Instagram account that he will be doing a treasure hunt during the ACE Comic-Con on December 8 to 10 in Long Island, New York. He ended the caption with hashtag #SearchForHope referring to the surprise. Henry and fellow Justice League co-stars Jason Momoa, Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller, Ray Fisher and Ciarán Hinds will be at the convention. Good luck and have fun to everybody participating!

Hey, fellow Henry and Superman fans! I thought I’d share this with you guys. There’s a campaign going around on Twitter to support Henry in getting a Man of Steel sequel. As you all might have read or heard, Justice League didn’t perform as well as expected in the box office, which is believed to put the entire franchise at risk, including Henry’s future as Superman.

So, as the campaign goes, fans will be participating in the Henry Cavill Week starting on December 4th. Post this image on your social media and use it as your profile picture as well during the HCW, and sign this petition.

This, of course, doesn’t guarantee that Henry will be given the Superman sequel that he deserves, but there’s no harm in trying!
