Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin have gotten engaged after five years of dating. As reported by Page Six (via Entertainment Tonight), the man who was the protagonist of the famous Disney Channel series Hotel Dulce Hotel would have proposed to his girlfriend, the supermodel Barbara Palvin, with whom he has had a discreet affair for years.
“Dylan and Barbara are engaged. They have been showing their ring to people and they are very happy,” says the source consulted by the news portal.
“They always look happy and very much in love, but now they are even happier than usual. They can’t wait to start this new chapter of their lives together,” the source continues.
Although the couple have not publicly confirmed that the engagement actually took place, they have been generating rumors about their wedding plans ever since Barbara appeared two weeks ago wearing an oddly positioned diamond ring on her hand, hinting that she may be engaged. .
The model made this significant appearance on the occasion of her partner’s latest project, who has left acting for behind-the-scenes work for years -while her brother Cole continues his acting career-, and is dedicated to the work of production.
Thus, Palvin wore his new ring at the Mammoth Film Festival, where Dylan Sprouse presented The Duel, a project that the actor-turned-producer has been working on with some of his great friends for years.
The couple began their relationship in 2017, first with a friendship and long conversations that began with an innocent private message from Sprouse to the supermodel through her Instagram account after meeting her at a party and falling in love with her. The actor did not hesitate and gave him her phone number in case he ever wanted to meet.
A message to which, by the way, the model did not reply until six months later, because according to what she herself recounted in subsequent interviews, she was not at a good time to start anything. However, her curiosity was piqued, and she decided to give the actor a chance. So much so that she did not hesitate to travel to China, where Sprouse was working at the time, just to see him. Shortly after, they became an official couple.
Always very discreet, they pose for the media if the occasion so requires. “I am very much in love, I feel that I have found the perfect man,” the model assured in 2018 in statements to People.
Six months after their first date, the two took their relationship a step further and moved in together. What could have ended in disaster turned into a true fairy tale.
“We are super compatible,” the actor confessed in an interview with ET in 2020, “We know when to give ourselves space, when the other needs something. Our relationship is stronger than ever.”
