Another former Disney channel star, Dylan Sprouse also used social media to land the girl of his dreams. The “Suite Life of Zack and Cody” actor and his supermodel girlfriend Barbara Palvin tend to prefer a quieter life outside of the direct light of the spotlight, but they have shared a few details about their relationship over the years, including how they met.
In a dual interview with W Magazine, Sprouse said that he was first introduced to Palvin at a party. A few days after the party, Palvin added Sprouse on Instagram. “She followed me, so I was like, I guess I’ll give her something. And I slid into her DMs,” the actor told the outlet. “I was like, ‘Hey, I don’t know if you’re in New York for very long, but we should hang out if you want to. Here’s my number.’ And she didn’t message me for six months.” Eventually, she did text him back, and after three months of talking, she flew to China (where he was shooting a movie) for their first in-person date.

Palvin told People she knew she wanted to be exclusive with the actor “the first minute we met,” but made him wait an entire month before she’d agree to be his girlfriend. The pair have been together ever since, walking red carpets and showing up in support of one another’s various endeavors. In early 2023, a huge diamond sparkler that appeared on Palvin’s left hand sparked a flurry of engagement rumors, but the couple has yet to confirm them, as of this writing.
