David Corenswet, who starred as the Man of Steel in James Gunn’s 2025 film Superman, met his wife, actress Julia Best Warner, at a summer theater program in Pennsylvania when they were teenagers. Their love was a “slow burn” before they got married in 2023.

That same year, the couple found out they were expecting their first child — just as Corenswet was in the final stages of the Superman audition process, he told PEOPLE in June 2025.
