Henry Cavill and his new girlfriend are Instagram official.

On Saturday, the "Justice League" star, 37, and his girlfriend Natalie Viscuso, both shared a photo on their respective Instagram accounts of them engaged in a seemingly intense chess match.

"This is me looking quietly confident shortly before my beautiful and brilliant love Natalie, destroys me at chess," Cavill wrote in the caption.

Viscuso, meanwhile, captioned the same photo on her Instagram account: "Just teaching my dear Henry how to play some chess...or...maybe he let me win?"

Cavill's fans appeared supportive of his new relationship, with many leaving heart emojis in the comments section.

"Awe!! This makes my heart happy!!" one wrote with red heart emoji, while another commented, "Well, if this isn't the cutest thing I've seen all day. [red heart emoji] Happy for you!"

"I'm so happy for you, congrats wishing you the best!" a third follower added.

Meanwhile, one fan jokingly commented, "Queens Gambit season 2 looks dope.."

The couple was spotted days ago walking Cavill's dog, Kal, in London before they made their romance Instagram official.

Viscuso appeared in an episode of MTV's "My Super Sweet 16" in 2005 and currently works as Legendary Entertainment's vice president of television and digital studios, per her LinkedIn page, which was spotted by E! News. The production company was behind Cavill's films "Enola Holmes" and "Man of Steel."

Cavill previously dated Kaley Cuoco, but their relationship was short-lived. The "Big Bang Theory" star told Cosmopolitan in 2014 that her 10-day fling with the actor transformed her from the rare under-the-radar sitcom star to someone being followed by tabloid photographers.

"It was Superman," Cuoco said. "I had no one following me until I met Superman. I've been in this business for 20 years, and my whole life, I could go anywhere, do anything. There had not been one paparazzi photo of me until like seven months ago. The recognition has been crazy. And then meeting Ryan and getting engaged so fast, I knew people were going to think it was so ridiculous."

Cavill also dated Tara King, who was 13 years his junior, in 2016. She was still studying when they were together, and in a previous interview, he gushed over her.

"But when I first met my girlfriend, I was super intimidated. I wanted to impress her. I was thinking, Don't mess this up, man. You've gotta play your cards exactly right," he told Elle at the time.

They also separated after less than a year of dating.
