Dylan Sprouse has expressed his pride as a father, celebrating his wife Barbara Palvin’s impressive return to the runway at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show just six weeks following the birth of their daughter, Sylvie. The couple welcomed their first child together on September 28, after sharing their pregnancy news publicly during the Cannes Film Festival in May.

Sprouse, the former Disney star, supported Palvin as she took to the stage on October 18, highlighting how their daughter is already reaching significant milestones. He shared with E! News that Sylvie is beginning to recognise faces and even finds joy in his attempts at humour. “Her eyesight is clearing up, and so she’s starting to recognise faces a lot more,” he explained. He humorously added, “She’s smiling and laughing at my jokes, which is all a dad can really dream of.”
Despite the joys of fatherhood, Sprouse noted the challenges of adjusting to life with a newborn. He jokingly commented on becoming “desensitised” to the various bodily fluids that come with parenting. There was an evident admiration in his words when he remarked on Palvin’s energy as she returned to modelling. He expressed amazement at how she manages to balance motherhood so seamlessly. “I don’t know where she finds the energy,” he said. “I’m a tired guy all the time, and obviously having a newborn makes you more tired. Barbara’s just up and in super mum mode.”
Palvin herself shared her excitement about returning to her modelling career shortly after giving birth. In an interview, she conveyed her sense of empowerment in being invited back to the Victoria’s Secret show so soon after becoming a mother. “I’m going to be six weeks postpartum tomorrow, which is, I think, in the U.S., most people have to go back after six weeks, so it’s not that big of a deal,” she stated. “I’m feeling great. I think it’s very empowering that the Victoria’s Secret team is having me at the show, and we’re supporting women.”
Reflecting on the early days of motherhood, Palvin described the experience as a “roller coaster” as she and Sprouse navigate their new roles. She expressed her affection for her husband, describing him as a natural when it comes to being a “girl dad,” indicating her admiration for how he has adapted to his new responsibilities.
Their journey into parenthood began on September 7, which they hinted at in an Instagram post, suggesting that Sylvie arrived a few weeks earlier than expected. This shared milestone has undoubtedly brought the couple closer together, strengthening their bond as they embark on this new chapter of their lives.
The couple’s announcement of their daughter’s birth received considerable attention and well-wishes from fans and followers alike, reflecting the deep interest in their lives and relationship. As they embrace the joys and challenges of parenting, the couple continues to support one another in their respective careers.
As Palvin balances her modelling career with motherhood, her resilience and determination are becoming evident. The support from Sprouse appears to be a significant factor, with both parents expressing their delight in their new role and the adventures that lie ahead. With each passing day, it seems likely that their family unit will only grow stronger as they embrace the unpredictable nature of parenthood together.
