﻿Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin are one of the dreamiest couples in the celebrity world. From
beautiful social media tributes to glamorous red carpet appearances… and maybe even an engagement!
Fans may be familiar with how cute the couple is now, but only a few know how their story started.
Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin met at a party in 2017. The model made such a good
first impression that Sprouse sent her a message on Instagram asking to hang out.
However, he would have to be patient… Barbara took six months to text him back!
In 2018, Dylan was heading to China for a shoot when the brunette beauty
finally replied to his message. The two started talking and flirted online for three months!
It seemed like the stars were finally going to meet when Palvin got a gig in China as well. When
the event was canceled, the model decided to fly to the East Asian country and see Sprouse anyway.
Before making the decision, Barbara asked Dylan if it was crazy to do that just to
meet him. His response? "Please come." The pair had their first date. Dylan got
a burrito, which Barbara ate a third of in a single bite! After that, she asked the actor,
"Are you going to kiss me or what?" After their date, Dylan asked Barbara
to be exclusive, but she said that she had to get to know him better. "And then I was like,
'OK, let's do it," Palvin revealed. The star explained that she took a
deep breath and asked herself what she was waiting for. "There's no other guy
I would love more than I love him, and he's got everything that I need," she thought.
Years later, Barbara confessed that she had wanted to be Dylan's girlfriend
"the first minute we met." Ahhh, adorable! In June 2018, the couple finally made their
relationship official. A couple of months later, they also had their Instagram debut
when the model shared a picture of Sprouse for his birthday. "Even though it's your birthday,
I feel I just got the biggest present of all," she wrote in the caption.
Although theirs has been Sprouse and Palvin's most public relationship up to this day,
both stars have been linked to other celebrities in the past.
It seems like during his Disney days Dylan was quite the heartbreaker. When
he was around eleven years old, the actor dated future pop star Miley Cyrus… for one day!
The young performer told Jimmy Kimmel that he and Miley met on the Hannah Montana set and
started dating. "And then Nick Jonas walked by, and then it was over," he hilariously explained.
Sprouse was linked to more Disney actresses like Kara Crane and Brenda Song during his
teenage years, but no one knows if these reports are actually true.
Before dating Barbara, the actor had a 3-year relationship with another model,
Dayna Frazer. When the couple split in 2017, Frazer accused Sprouse of cheating in an
Instagram story which she later deleted. Dylan denied the allegations on Twitter.
On her part, Palvin has had few known romances prior to dating the actor.
She was linked to Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton in 2016 and to musician Julian Perretta. However,
Barbara later confessed that she had been single for years before dating Dylan. We can assume that,
if she decided to date him after so much time by herself, Sprouse must have been
very special for the model. After making things official,
Dylan and Barbara continued sharing cute moments with the world. Most notably, when the
actor supported his girlfriend during her first Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in six years.
While preparing for the catwalk, Barbara told People Magazine that Dylan was going to bring
her burgers for after the show. Sprouse kept the fast food bag safe under his seat during
the whole event. Boyfriend goals! The model later posted a picture of
herself kissing Dylan. "Better than burgers," she wrote in the caption.
Palvin had no problem with sharing how happy she was. During an interview with Vogue Australia,
she opened up about her relationship with Sprouse, saying it was "not normal" for
her to have a boyfriend since she had been single for six years!
"It did pay off. I feel like I found the perfect guy. He's very kind and gentle,"
she continued. The star ended the interview with Dylan joining in, and saying she liked
to spend her days off with the people she loved. "I'm very much in love right now," she added.
The romance seemed to be in full bloom since, in January 2019, the lovebirds moved in together!
To celebrate living in New York with her boo, Palvin posted an adorable couple selfie. Aww!
As fast as the relationship seemed to move, there was one milestone Barbara hadn't reached at this
time: meeting Dylan's twin brother, Cole. When the model revealed she hadn't met the "Riverdale"
star yet, Dylan explained that this was due to Cole's busy filming schedule in Vancouver.
However, the situation soon changed when Barbara and Cole finally met at the 2019 Vanity Fair Oscar
party. Even if they took some time to see each other in person, Cole had interacted
a lot with the happy couple on Instagram, often teasing them in the comments. Classic siblings!
It seemed like Palvin's life only got happier and happier. In March of that same year,
the star officially got her wings as a Victoria's Secret Angel, one of the most
significant career milestones for supermodels. When the brunette beauty got the news, she was in
her home country, Hungary, and it was about 5am! The first person she called, even before telling
her parents, was Dylan. When he heard the happy news, the actor answered, “I told you. I knew it,"
proving that he had always believed in her. Sprouse continued showing just how good of a
boyfriend he is when he hosted a special event for Palvin only a few days later.
He and the model's friends prepared a surprise party to celebrate the news.
Barbara was so happy that she posted a few snapshots of the event on Instagram, saying,
"I only cried of shock for 2 minutes." Celebrities, they're just like us!
In June 2019, the pair celebrated their first anniversary. Barbara decided to commemorate
the occasion by posting a carousel of pictures on Instagram with the caption,
"Happy anniversary I love you." A couple of months later,
the model dedicated another sweet tribute to her boyfriend to celebrate his birthday.
Barbara thanked Dylan for letting her be a part of his life and said she was very proud of him.
The couple continued gifting us with adorable moments wherever they went. For example,
when they coordinated for Milan Fashion Week and finger-gun posed together.
Months later, Dylan revealed that he loved Barbara's cooking and that she
was a "fantastic chef". The model even uses the mead from Sprouse's natural
meadery business. Talk about a perfect match! The pair continued attending events like the
2020 Vanity Fair Oscars after-party. Palvin later posted a picture with the caption,
"In my dream dress with my dream date." Barbara continued being a supportive girlfriend
when Dylan released his first comic book, "Suneater.” The model posted adorable pictures
of her brushing her boyfriend's teeth with the caption, "It was just a year ago when you couldn't
even brush ur teeth alone and now look at you." She then promoted the comic, adding a link to
her bio, so fans could preorder. The star ended her caption with the words,
"It is so inspiring to watch you achieve your dreams/goals! Proud of you."
Of course, when their second anniversary came around, the couple continued their tradition of
posting cute pictures together. Sprouse tweeted a photo of him and Palvin hugging at the top of
a mountain. Then, the star added that he hoped there were many more years together to come.
The pair continued posting adorable tributes once in a while to mark occasions like
Valentine's Day or each other's birthdays. With all this cuteness, it’s no wonder that
fans are beginning to ask themselves whether the stars will tie the knot in the future.
This wishful thinking might have just come true since engagement rumours
have been following the pair since March 2023. That month, the happy couple attended the Mammoth
Film Festival in California, where Barbara was photographed wearing a huge diamond ring. "They
were showing everyone her ring. It was very obvious," a source told People Magazine.
Other insiders confirmed the engagement to Entertainment Weekly, saying, "They're always
very in love with and by each other's sides, but they're even happier than usual. They can't wait
to start this new chapter together." However, the stars themselves haven't
confirmed their engagement yet. Do you think Barbara and Dylan are actually
engaged, or is it just a rumour? Whatever happens, we can't help but
gush whenever we see these two. Here at Rumour Juice, we wish Dylan and Barbara much love and
happiness and hope they can continue sharing their romantic moments with the rest of us.
