Actor Dylan Sprouse and model Barbara Palvin announced they are expecting their first child. The couple revealed the pregnancy at the 79th Cannes Film Festival on May 14.

Actor Dylan Sprouse and model Barbara Palvin are expecting their first child together.

The couple revealed the pregnancy while attending the 79th Annual Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France, on Thursday, May 14.

As reported by People magazine, Palvin appeared at the event in a light blue dress with cap sleeves and a feathered skirt, posing with her hand under her baby bump. Sprouse stood beside her in a tuxedo, with one arm around his wife as the couple posed for photographs together.

The couple later announced the news on their official social media handles.

The announcement marks a new chapter for the couple, who tied the knot in Hungary in July 2023 after confirming their engagement a month earlier.

Sprouse and Palvin first met at a party in 2017 and began dating in June 2018.

Over the years, the pair have frequently spoken about supporting one another's careers. Ahead of Palvin's appearance in the 2025 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Sprouse shared a message for his wife through People magazine.

"I love you, baby. Break a leg tonight," he said, before jokingly adding that she did actually "break her foot" four weeks earlier, adding, "so, I wish you luck. I love you. I know you are going to kill it."

Earlier this year, the couple also opened up about how they maintain their marriage while balancing work commitments.

Speaking to People magazine in February 2025, following the launch of their Spring 2025 campaign and Dress to Express, Palvin explained how they prioritise spending time together.

"When I travel, he's there with me and we're not away from each other," she said.

The model added, "When he's on set, I try to visit him. We have this rule that we're not supposed to be away from each other longer than two, three weeks."

Last August, Palvin also shared details about undergoing surgery for endometriosis.

In an Instagram post, she spoke about struggling for years with symptoms including "fatigue, severe pain, heavy and irregular flow" and "sleepless nights on the bathroom floor."

"I thought this was just how it works for me," she wrote, adding that she was later "advised to seek out an endometriosis specialist."

Palvin said she learned that "endometriosis can't be diagnosed with general examinations," despite regularly visiting her gynecologist for yearly checkups.

"The surgery helped me a lot, and I'm grateful I did it. Early diagnosis and treatment are very important to prevent long-term complications, and now I'm more mindful about my body to act fast if needed," she wrote.

She concluded the post by saying, "I'm excited about this new chapter of my life and now ready to get back to work."

Nice to see them happy, but honestly, I wonder why this is such big news in India. We have so many celebrities ourselves making headlines with similar news. Anyway, good for them – the rule of not being apart for more than 2-3 weeks seems like a solid relationship advice actually.

Such lovely news! ❤️ The way they met at a party in 2017 and now expecting a baby – it's like a modern fairy tale. And Barbara's courage in sharing her endometriosis battle is so commendable. In our country, women often suffer silently with such issues. Kudos to her for raising awareness! Baba blessings 🙏

Dylan Sprouse from Suite Life of Zack & Cody is going to be a father! Time flies, man. But seriously, the way they maintain their marriage with both being super busy – that's something many Bollywood couples could learn from. Prioritizing quality time together is key, whether you're in Hollywood or Mumbai.

So happy for them! 🎉 The dress Barbara wore at Cannes was stunning – that feathered skirt really emphasized the baby bump beautifully. I hope their child inherits both their good looks and talent. Also, her endometriosis story hit home – so many Indian women deal with this silently. It's brave to talk about it openly.

Good for them, but I feel like celebrity pregnancy announcements are overhyped these days. There are millions of parents around the world having babies every day. Anyway, wishing them a healthy pregnancy and safe delivery. The endometriosis part was informative
