Actor Dylan Sprouse has opened up about the charming circumstances surrounding his first encounter with model Barbara Palvin, shedding light on what he described as a “meet-cute” worthy of a romantic comedy. The couple, who recently celebrated their marriage, revealed that their journey began with a lighthearted interaction at a red carpet event in 2017.
Speaking on Amanda Hirsch’s podcast, *Not Skinny but Not Fat*, Sprouse recounted the moment he and Palvin first crossed paths at the Harper’s Bazaar Icons party. Contrary to popular belief that their relationship stemmed from Sprouse’s direct messages, the actor clarified that their initial encounter was in-person, and it set the stage for a flirtatious connection that ignited his interest.
Describing the fateful moment, the 34-year-old actor recalled how Palvin playfully cut in front of him while he was waiting to walk the red carpet. “Totally like a rom-com, she just jumps over the red velvet divider and cuts me,” he said. Sprouse’s playful retort came swiftly: “I don’t care how pretty you are, you’re not cutting me.” The exchange took a humorous turn when Palvin noted his attire, teasing, “What, are you a hot dog vendor?”
From this amusing exchange, a bond started to form, with Sprouse suggesting they meet up later that evening. He cheekily told her to “wait by the door,” but in an unexpected twist, Palvin responded, “Hey I’m still here by the door. Are you coming or not?” This flirtation left Sprouse feeling exhilarated, marking the beginning of their romance.
Fast forward to 2023, the couple tied the knot on July 15 in a picturesque ceremony in Palvin’s home country of Hungary. Their wedding was attended by friends and family, celebrating not only their love but also their commitment to one another. Recently, the couple made headlines as they announced they are expecting their first child together, a daughter, at the Cannes Film Festival.
In a touching display of support, Sprouse has been seen attending events alongside Palvin, most recently at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Following Palvin’s surgery for endometriosis earlier this year, Sprouse took the opportunity to raise awareness about the condition by distributing yellow pins on the red carpet, highlighting the importance of advocacy in women’s health.
Sprouse spoke about how special it felt to be there cheering for his wife, emphasising the supportive nature of their relationship. “It was a very special night for me,” he shared, wishing to bring attention to endometriosis while celebrating Palvin’s achievements.
Their journey from an amusing meeting to marriage and impending parenthood illustrates the strength of their partnership. The playful banter that sparked their romance continues to be a hallmark of their relationship, with both showing a commitment to each other that extends beyond their careers in the spotlight.
As they navigate this new chapter of parenthood together, fans of the couple remain excited to see what the future holds for Sprouse and Palvin. Their story serves as a reminder of how unexpected encounters can lead to lasting love, and how important it is to support one another through life’s challenges.
