Henry Cavill goes public with new romance

Henry Cavill has confirmed he's dating actress Kaley Cuoco.

The 30-year-old Man of Steel star has been at the centre of the rumour mill for months after it emerged he had split from his actress girlfriend Gina Carano in May.

Recent reports suggested Henry had set his sights on Kaley rather than lap up attention as one of Hollywood's most eligible new bachelors.

The couple were spotted holding hands in Studio City, California Wednesday afternoon.

According to Just Jared, Kaley had just taken her dog to the veterinarian before meeting up with her new man for a trip to the market.

Kaley previously dated her Big Bang Theory co-star Johnny Galecki and was engaged to addiction specialist Josh Resnik before splitting from him last year.

The 27-year-old recently broke up with her musician boyfriend Bret Bollinger.

Henry meanwhile embarked on a ten-month relationship with model and actress Gina after he broke up from his British showjumping fiancée Ellen Whitaker.

Both stars have so far remained tight-lipped about their budding romance.

Henry shared details about his ideal companion in an interview with People magazine published last month.

"If a woman is confident and happy with who she is, that quality is incredibly sexy and attractive," he said.
