During the event, Henry was seen on stage introducing producer Charles Roven, who was being honored at the event.
The star also stopped to pose for a photo with a fan during his appearance, with Henry having stepped somewhat away from the spotlight in the latter half of 2024 in the lead-up to the couple welcoming their first child.
They had their first child earlier this year, after revealing they were expecting a baby back in April 2024.
Henry and Natalie, who went public with their relationship in April 2021, keep their personal lives mostly private.
News of the pair becoming engaged first broke in January when they arrived together in Australia.
They were spotted taking a stroll on the Gold Coast in Queensland as Natalie pushed a baby pram while wearing a huge diamond ring.
The couple are yet to confirm any wedding plans, but speculation is rife that a big announcement could be on the horizon.
Henry had earlier asked fans for some parenting 'tips' in a sweet Father's Day Instagram post last year ahead of becoming a dad for the first time.

Henry lay beside a baby cot as he wrote: 'Oh yeah... and Happy Father's Day ye dads out there.
'Turns out I shall be joining your hallowed ranks soon! Any tips??
'And don't worry, pillows won't be in the crib when the wee one arrives, just glue and scalpels so he or she can build Warhammer miniatures.'
Back in April, Henry revealed that he was 'very excited' to be expecting his first child with Natalie, admitting that he couldn't wait to become a dad.
The star shared the news at the premiere of The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare in New York City speaking to Access Hollywood, he said: 'I'm very excited about it. Natalie and I are both very excited about it. I'm sure you'll see much more of that.'

Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti cozies up to Bond favourite Theo James at Dolce & Gabbana launch event in Italy
Leonardo DiCaprio 's girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti joined Bond favourite Theo James at a Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue launch event in Capri, Italy on Thursday. The model, 26, looked incredible in a white mini dress which featured lace detail and thin straps. Theo, 40, who has been plugged as a possible contender to replace Daniel Craig as 007, opted for a smart beige linen suit. The duo posed for photos on board a boat for the Italian brand's perfume launch. Theo portrayed smug holidaymaker Cameron Sullivan in the second season of the HBO black comedy drama, The White Lotus. And, he is currently in the running to play the next James Bond, with John Hill from Coral saying: 'We have seen a strong wave of support for Theo James.' A host of names have been touted for the part since Daniel Craig's announcement that he will be leaving the franchise, from household names such as Luther star Idris Elba to lesser known actors like Scotsman Stuart Martin. Theo has previously impressed while playing rogue, morally ambiguous characters somewhat similar to Bond in The White Lotus and and Guy Ritchie 's The Gentlemen. The actor had been one of the frontrunners for the role a couple of years ago but was bumped down odds lists after an interview with The Guardian in 2024. He told the publication: 'Everyone's interested in playing Bond because it's a big part of British cultural identity, but that probably wouldn't be me. 'I do think there are better people for that job. And honestly it would be terrifying... you're opening Pandora's Box.' However speculation linking the 40-year-old to the famous tux seem to have reignited in recent weeks after a number of other actors had stints as favourites, including Henry Cavill and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Ladbrokes, a betting company, currently have Theo leading the race with odds of 6/4, putting him above Cavill (3/1), Taylor-Johnson (7/2) and Jack Lowden (8/1) in the running. While another betting shop, Coral list the candidates as Theo James at 6/4, Henry Cavill (3/1), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (7/2), James Norton (6/1) then Jack Lowden (12/1). Odds placing Theo as the favourite come just a week after Superman actor Henry, 42, soared to the top of the bookies' lists. Ladbrokes representative Cal Gildart said: 'Henry Cavill's return to the head of the Bond betting didn't last long, with Theo James as short as anyone has been to pick up the world's most famous license to kill'. It seems fans are similarly confident that Theo could be the perfect man for the role with more than 70% of all bets on the next 007 last month placed on him, according to Coral. On their list of potential candidates is also Harris Dickinson, Callum Turner, Josh O'Connor, and Stuart Martin.

EXCLUSIVE Why nepo babies are dropping their 'imprisoning' last names
What's in a name? Well, for the children of celebrity parents, a famous last name can open doors to a world of opportunity. 'Nepo', short for 'nepotism,' babies are the offspring of celebrities or influential individuals who've gained career advantages due to their parents' notoriety – whether it's in the entertainment industry, professional sports, business or modeling. But these nepo babies have received widespread backlash in recent years, with critics pointing out how their privilege has given them opportunities that someone of a lesser socioeconomic status might be more deserving of. Whether it's to break free from the criticism, or from their own parents entirely, a select few of these celebrity children are dropping their famous last names in an effort to carve out a career for themselves. Most recently, Malia Obama – the eldest daughter of former US president Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama – dropped her last name when she premiered her short film at Sundance Film Festival in 2024. The 26-year-old was instead listed as 'Malia Ann' – opting to use her middle name – in the credits of her movie, The Heart, which she made with megastar Donald Glover. Meanwhile, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter Shiloh Jolie debuted her new name during a rare public appearance in Los Angeles last week. The 19-year-old was simply introduced as 'Shi' as she unveiled her choreographed dance routine at an Isabel Marant fashion event. The name change comes one year after she legally dropped Pitt from her last name - she officially filed the petition on her 18th birthday. However, this so-called trend of nepo babies ditching their famous surnames isn't new. When actor Nicholas Cage (born Nicolas Coppola) changed his name early in his career so as not to be as easily associated with his director uncle, Francis Ford Coppola, he was able to fly somewhat under the radar - there was no social media to remind everyone who his relatives are. Louisa Jacobson, The Gilded Age star and youngest daughter of Oscar winner Meryl Streep and sculptor Don Gummer, goes by her middle name to avoid confusion with another actress named Louisa Gummer. Even Shiloh's own mother changed her name from Angelina Voight – the last name of her controversy-ridden father, actor Jon Voight – and legally adopted the surname 'Jolie' in 2002. Undoubtedly, these celebrity children of the past still managed to chart their own successful paths, despite adopting a new moniker. But according to brand strategist Rachael Kay Albers, when it comes to celebrity children like Malia and Shiloh – whose personal lives have been in the spotlight since their early adolescence – it's far more difficult to shed their former self. 'Nepo babies are changing their names for two main reasons: they want to stand on their own two feet – artistically, career-wise – or they want to live a quiet life and they don't want to be in the limelight,' Albers told the Daily Mail. 'What's unique about Malia and Shiloh is this generational difference,' she explained. 'The coverage surrounding these kids has changed so dramatically, and with the internet and the constant access to celebrity kids, it means when we look back at the celebrity children of Boomers compared to Gen Z or Gen Alpha kids, we're watching it happen in real time.' Former first lady Michelle Obama recently broke her silence on her eldest daughter's name change, revealing on her Sibling Revelry podcast that her daughters Malia and Sasha started 'pushing away' from her and her husband as teens. The mother of two said she believes her daughters distanced themselves because they wanted to 'distinguish themselves' from their famous parents. 'They're still doing that, and you guys know this of children with parents who are known,' Obama said. 'It's very important for my kids to feel like they've earned what they are getting in the world.' Albers agreed that the increasing trend is in an effort to transform their identity away from how they've been perceived by the world their whole lives. 'I think what we're observing here with this new breed of celebrity kids is when they go out there and change their name, it's not because they want to lose the connection to their parents,' she said. 'It's more that we're actively watching this person reshape their identity in public.' This 'rebrand', as Albers calls it, can be hard when your life is constantly being publicized and dissected by the media. In Shiloh's case, she's sharing the spotlight with her parents' bitter divorce battle. Exes Jolie and Brad Pitt officially finalized their messy divorce in December 2024, eight years after the actress filed for a dissolution of marriage in September 2016. Since then, the private details surrounding their split have been made public, including abuse accusations against Pitt stemming from an incident on a private jet, in which all six of their children were present. Pitt has continued to deny the claims of abuse and was cleared by law enforcement following an investigation. Pitt remains largely estranged from his children in the wake of the divorce, and Shiloh wasn't the only one to change her name - both Zahara, 20, and Vivienne, 16, have publicly or professionally dropped Pitt's last name. Pitt and Jolie's daughter Zahara, 20, introduced herself as 'Zahara Jolie' during a sorority event at Spelman College last year 'When we entangle our names with our livelihoods, all is well and good if you build a following and grow a career with that name,' Albers said. 'But if you are transforming, if your family is transforming, suddenly now you're really imprisoned by your name and its associations with your family and all of the press.' Much like a real-life company rebrand, such as Dunkin' Donuts now going by Dunkin' or the infamous change from Twitter to X, the decision to rebrand yourself isn't always accepted by the general public. 'Any time a brand changes its name and changes its logo or slogan, the brand is betting on the idea that the audience is gonna go along with it. But sometimes there's backlash,' Albers said. Indeed, the decision to publicly distance yourself from the same family that got you where you are today should be regarded with some courage. But the real challenge will be whether the masses choose to accept you by this altered identity. Albers said, after all, 'They'll never forget you're Malia Obama.'

Dua Lipa has revealed she would 'love' to have children with her fiancé Callum Turner after announcing their engagement. The singer, 29, who turns 30 in August, publicly shared her excitement for the first time since the actor, 35, got down on one knee. The hitmaker posed for the front cover of British Vogue where she looked stunning in a pale pink bra that highlighted her jaw-dropping figure. In the interview, Dua disussed her family plans, saying she's concerned how having children will fit in with her career as a pop star. 'I'd love to have kids one day,' she said. 'But it's like the constant question of when would there ever be a good time – how it would fit in with my job and how it would work if I went on tour, and how much time out I'd have to take. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'I think it's just one of those things that's going to happen when it happens. I love kids, but I think there's so much more to raising a child than just loving children.' Confirming their engagement, Dua said: 'Yeah we're engaged. It's very exciting. 'This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever — it's a really special feeling.' Late last year, news of their romantic proposal emerged and Dua has regularly been seen with a dazzling diamond ring on her finger. Speaking of their wedding plans, Dua said she hopes to finish her tour and Callum to wrap up filming before they tie the knot. While the wedding hasn't been at the forefront of her mind amid her busy schedule touring, she did admit she has started to think about her dress. She said: 'I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period. 'I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding, or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden, I'm like: "Oh, what would I wear?"' Speaking of their wedding plans, Dua said she hopes to finish her tour and Callum to wrap up filming before they tie the knot Dua said she's 'obsessed' with her engagement ring, before insisting 'It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.' Dua and Callum were first linked in January 2024 and reportedly got engaged over Christmas in 2024. 'I think it's just one of those things that's going to happen when it happens. I love kids, but I think there's so much more to raising a child than just loving children.' Dua and Callum had 'many Sliding Doors moments', where they were in the same place at the same time without realising, before being introduced to one another at the River Cafe in London. A year later, she was having dinner in Los Angeles with her friend Mustafa the Poet when 'all of a sudden' Callum appeared. She thought: 'Oh, it's that really hot guy from The River Cafe.' During their conversation, the pair realised they both 'just happened to be reading' Hernan Diaz's novel Trust. Asked if she feels they were destined to be together, she replied: 'One thousand per cent.' Dua and Callum first sparked romance rumours in January 2024 when they both attended a Masters Of The Air afterparty in London. Prior to making her relationship public, the Dance the Night songstress revealed during promotion for her album Radical Optimism that she had to find her 'confidence' again after previous relationships had gone awry. Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, she revealed: 'In terms of relationships, I needed to get to this place in order to find what I really needed. You have to be in the act of forgiveness and growing and learning, and being okay with the past in order to move on with what's to come next. 'So it's, for me, Happy for You is a beautiful, happy song, because it's so reflective of my journey. 'I think with every relationship, with every experience you learn about yourself, you learn about things that are hurtful to you, what you expect, what you should be ready to give as well. 'I think, again, it goes back to that exchange of vulnerability. 'I think I've had relationships which have been really hurtful, especially earlier on, where I feel like I've been made to feel like not good enough or have made me lose my confidence and I've had to find that again. 'You learn about your own non-negotiables. I think that's an important thing. It's of course the right person, but it's really about the right relationship. 'You find that in friendships and in love relationships as well, of your non-negotiables.'
