In a chat with ET Online, David Corenswet shared that juggling his duties as a new dad and tackling a major role like portraying Superman was quite a challenge. He acknowledged that it was his partner, Julia Warner, who played an essential part in helping him handle these responsibilities effectively.

Corensweit has been married to Julia Warner for more than two years now. He shared with PEOPLE that they discovered her pregnancy only a few days after he found out about his screen test for the role of Superman in James Gunn’s movie. “Julia told me she was pregnant just two days following my discovery that I would be tested for the Superman part,” he reminisced.

Later on, he shared that during the initial phase of their pregnancy, they decided to maintain the news confidential. The actor further mentioned, “We held onto two significant secrets, only aware of them by the two of us. It was an intense time as we were privy to these two big mysteries, just the two of us.
