Fans have always talked about Henry Cavill’s relationships, but nothing was more controversial than when he dated a teenage university student. He was 32 when he first met Tara King, then a 19-year-old freshman at Bristol University in England.
At the time, Cavill was already known as Superman and had a steady footing in Hollywood. He met the art history student at a London nightclub in 2015. They were also spotted hanging out at a rugby match at Twickenham. It wasn’t until February 2016 when they publicly appeared as a couple at Vanity Fair’s Oscars party.

During his candid interview withElle Magazine, actorHenry Cavilltalked about his relationship with Tara King. Their age gap has become the concern of the public, though theMan of Steelstar was not really bothered by it. In fact, he looked at it in a positive light.

When asked about his response when people call him out because of King’s age, he quipped: “It’s a natural reaction. But when I was 19, I was going out with a 32-year-old.” This was indeed a revelation from Cavill. He was aware that their age gap would stir a buzz among fans but later confessed that he did the same in the past, just the reverse way.
Speaking withMirror UK, theJustice Leagueactor described his then-girlfriend and how she became his comfort and solace amid the noise of Hollywood.
“She protects me and is protective of me when I am having a hard time. She’s there when I need looking after, and the world is a little too heavy. Then she will happily take that weight for me and make sure that I am OK. Tara allows me to be me, and she doesn’t have a problem with that. She treats me like a normal human being.”
