“And if I have kids, even now, it’s starting to get pretty late. But I want to be a healthy dad, and not be tumbling around like, ‘OK, I’m going to take a breather.’

Hollywood executive Natalie works in television, but had a brief taste of life in front of the camera as a teenager on the MTV hit My Super Sweet 16.

And MailOnline understands Natalie’s father Michael is a former nightclub mogul, which led to her appearance in the TV series, which later became a global hit.

A description of the episode read: ‘At the age of 15, Natalie now lives in a $5 million house and cruises around town in her father’s Bentleys and Ferraris. What more could she want? How about being the most popular girl in school?’

During the episode, Natalie was described as coming from ‘sleepy Roswell, New Mexico’, but moved to La Jolla, California, with her father and his then-fiancée.

The actor has been going strong with Natalie for three years

A source close to the couple previously told MailOnline that Henry and Natalie met years ago after “crossing paths” while working in the same industry, but romance finally blossomed during lockdown.

‘Henry first connected with Natalie years ago, and although a romantic spark wasn’t immediate between them, they always kept in touch,’ an insider explained.

“Despite strict travel restrictions, Natalie flew from the States to the UK so she could be with Henry and they were able to go unnoticed by prying eyes in Berkshire as they visited local markets together.

“As a hugely famous actor, Henry is usually very private about his personal life and relationships, but he is smitten with Natalie, who has been a party girl and aspiring model from a young age, even starring in the MTV hit My Super Sweet 16 .”
