Actor Dylan Sprouse has praised his wife, supermodel Barbara Palvin, for her dedication after she returned to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show just six weeks after giving birth to their first child, states People.
Palvin walked the runway at the 2026 show in Los Angeles on 18 October, marking her return to the event after welcoming daughter Sylvie in September. Sprouse was there to support her and spoke proudly about the effort she put into preparing for the show.
The actor said he was impressed by how Palvin managed to prepare for the high-profile event while adjusting to life with a newborn. In an Instagram Story before the show, he described her as “built different” and wondered where she found the energy to balance motherhood and work.
Speaking on the pink carpet, Sprouse said he was amazed by how his wife composed herself for each appearance. He also joked that Palvin kept the details of her runway looks and the show’s schedule a surprise.
The actor shared his excitement about fatherhood, revealing that their daughter had already started laughing at his jokes. He also joked that Sylvie had inherited her mother’s blue eyes and hoped she would get his sense of humour.
Palvin, meanwhile, described early motherhood as a “roller coaster”, saying the experience had been both fun and frightening. She praised Sprouse for embracing fatherhood, calling him a natural “girl dad”, and said the couple were learning to adjust to their new responsibilities together.
The couple married in 2023 and welcomed their first child in September. Palvin’s return to the runway marks a new chapter in her career as she balances modelling with motherhood.
