Dylan Sprouse married their long-term girlfriend Barbara Palvin in a wedding ceremony in Hungary over the weekend. The Suite Life of Zack and Cody star and his supermodel fiance had been dating for five years and got engaged last September. They confirmed the news of their engagement in an interview with V Magazine this June.
“We didn’t necessarily feel the need to be fully transparent with the public about that aspect of our engagement,” Sprouse explained. “What we wanted to do with Stephen [Gan] and the V team is make something that was kind of tongue-in-cheek about the nature of private versus public. We’re playing with the idea of perception.” Dylan clarified to V.
“I mean, a man has time to prepare for the proposal—Dylan kept the ring for seven months before he asked the question—but for me, it was right then and there,” Barbara told the reporters. “I knew since we started dating that I want to marry him, but it’s a big decision.”
The ceremony took place in a church a little far away from Budapest, Palvin’s hometown and photos of the happy couple in their wedding outfits surfaced online. The Victoria’s Secret model and her Disney actor boyfriend first met at a party in 2017 and did not publicize their relationship till she posted a photo on Instagram in 2018. Dylan, 30, and Barbara, 29, are one of the few stable couples Hollywood has witnessed over the years. They have kept their relationship under wraps for the most part, sharing glimpses here and there of casual stay-at-home date nights and goofy moments.
“I’m excited to show that side of me and introduce my culture, the places I grew up, and the places I went to. I feel like a lot of people will learn even more about me this way,” Barbara shared her thoughts on how the location of their wedding was non-negotiable from the very beginning. “I know there was no way we would have not had a wedding in Hungary because my parents would have killed me.”
