The couple, who tied the knot in Hungary in July 2023, previously broke the news of their pregnancy in May while attending the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. Dressed elegantly for the occasion, Palvin showcased her baby bump with a delicate light blue dress, while Sprouse was by her side in a classic tuxedo, marking the joyous moment publicly with photographs.

During the podcast, Palvin prompted Sprouse to share the news: “Do you want to share?” he eventually revealed, “Yeah, we’ve been calling her principessa,” explaining this affectionate term is Italian for “princess.” The actor expressed his excitement for fatherhood, stating, “I’m excited to be a girl dad, actually.”

Palvin, a renowned model and Victoria’s Secret Angel, quipped that having a daughter will “mellow” Sprouse out, adding a touch of humour to the conversation. “You’re going to be so stressed about the princess,” she teased. Sprouse, not shy about his fondness for the whimsical, replied jokingly, “I just also unironically love a tea party,” with both sharing a light-hearted exchange about their future parenting style.
The couple is currently deliberating on names for their future daughter, playfully referring to the unborn child as “principessa” for now. Their discussions reflect the excitement and anticipation surrounding their expanding family, indicative of their close bond.
Sprouse and Palvin’s relationship began in 2017 after meeting at a party, and they began dating the following year. In an interview with Vogue Australia in November 2018, Palvin expressed her deep affection for Sprouse, describing him as “kind and gentle.” Their love blossomed over the years, leading to their engagement in June 2023, shortly before their wedding.
In addition to the happiness surrounding their impending parenthood, Palvin recently opened up about her health journey, revealing she had undergone surgery for endometriosis. She shared her experience on social media, noting that she had been advised to seek out a specialist after years of regular check-ups with her gynecologist.
Palvin stated, “I thought if I had endometriosis, I would have known about it by now, but as it turns out, endometriosis can’t be diagnosed with general examinations.” Her proactive approach to her health has highlighted the importance of early diagnosis and treatment. She expressed gratitude for having the surgery, noting it has made her more mindful about her body.
Now looking forward to her new role as a mother, Palvin concluded her health update with optimism, stating she is excited about this new chapter and ready to return to work. As the couple prepares for the arrival of their baby girl, they emanate joy and anticipation, looking forward to the journey ahead.
As the due date approaches, both Sprouse and Palvin continue to embrace the changes and challenges of parenthood with enthusiasm. Their shared excitement about the future reflects a strong partnership, as they embark on this transformative journey together. The couple’s story is not only a celebration of love and family but also serves as a reminder of the importance of health and awareness for those facing similar challenges.
