Barbara Palvin and Dylan Sprouse Met in 2017
Their story began at a party in 2017, though the romance did not start until the following year. After that first meeting, Palvin followed Sprouse on Instagram, and he sent her a direct message. She did not reply for six months. Once they finally connected, things moved quickly. After three months of talking, Palvin flew to China to see him, setting up the first date that would shape the relationship. What started with a delayed message soon turned into a long-term partnership built across cities, work schedules, and constant travel.
Dylan Sprouse Shared a First-Date Memory
Sprouse later opened up about that early stage of their romance in a candid quote. “[We had] our first kiss, after [she] horked down a third of my burrito,” said Dylan Sprouse according to Page Six. Palvin also offered her version of the moment, joking that she decided to take charge by asking him to kiss her. The playful exchange fit the tone the couple has often shown together in interviews and public appearances. Their chemistry was clear early on, and the relationship soon became serious enough for them to build a home together in Brooklyn.
The Couple Married in Hungary in 2023
By January 2019, the pair were already living together in New York. That step came before Palvin had even met Dylan’s twin brother, Cole Sprouse. Dylan proposed in September 2022, but the couple kept the engagement private for months. “We didn’t necessarily feel the need to be fully transparent with the public,” Dylan Sprouse told V Magazine. “We just [wanted] to do it on our time.” They married in Palvin’s native Hungary in July 2023, keeping the relationship centered on personal timing rather than public pressure.
Cole Sprouse Spoke About Their Family Plans
Hints about their future had surfaced before the pregnancy news became public. In April 2024, Cole Sprouse said on the “Let’s Talk Off Camera With Kelly Ripa” podcast that he could picture his brother and sister-in-law starting a family soon. He also joked that the move might finally stop their father from asking when his turn would come. Cole praised the marriage as a strong match, calling them wonderful together. Now, with Palvin’s Cannes appearance confirming the next step, that family prediction has become reality.
