David Corenswet, recognized for his leading role as Superman in the DC Universe, has started to open up about his private world in recent interviews, shedding light on his marriage, how he met his wife, and his journey into fatherhood. Fans eager to learn David Corenswet married life and family details are finally discovering more about the actor’s personal side.
How David Corenswet Met His Wife Julia
Although David Corenswet’s marriage is not exactly breaking news, many recent fans were unaware of his long-standing relationship. In a recent People interview, David shared that he first met his wife, Julia, during their teenage years at a summer theater program in Pennsylvania, the actor’s home state. While reports suggest that Julia’s full name is Julia Best Warner—a fellow actress seen in Netflix’s “Ratched”—the couple chooses to keep their private life mostly away from public attention.
A Gradual Relationship and Wedding Details
David describes the evolution of their romance as a “slow burn,” eventually leading to their wedding in 2023. Only a few close friends and family knew the early details, as both David and Julia maintained privacy around their engagement and marriage celebrations. In early 2024, the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter, right as David began filming for filmmaker James Gunn’s highly anticipated Superman project.
Reflecting on the significance of this life-changing period, David said,
“two big unknown things at the same time. And they were both great things.”

David’s Transition Into Fatherhood
Speaking about his new role as a parent, David revealed his feelings about becoming a dad and how his own upbringing influenced him.
“I feel like I’ve been a dad for a long time, and just waiting for a kid to prove it. My dad was an enthusiastic father and stayed home with my sister for a period when she was very little, and was very good with kids. And so I think I just inherited that. I liked being a camp counselor, and I have terrible jokes that nobody laughs at,”
he said. —David Corenswet, Actor
Family, Pets, and Upcoming Projects
Beyond fatherhood, David is also a devoted dog owner—his Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Ira, is an important part of the family. He described Ira as
“less of a doggy, more of a toddler,”
and even mentioned that Ira visited him on the Superman movie set. —David Corenswet, Actor
Fans excited to see David in action will be able to watch Superman when it premieres in theaters on July 11. As he navigates both a thriving acting career and the early days of fatherhood with Julia and their newborn daughter, Corenswet’s approach to life reflects his positive outlook and strong family values.
