Barbara Palvin and Dylan Sprouse have become parents for the first time. The couple, who married in 2023, shared their first photograph as a family of three on Instagram. In the photograph, the 34-year-old actor is seen holding their newborn as they watch baseball on television. All three are wearing Los Angeles Dodgers jerseys. The post appeared to suggest their baby was born on September 7.
The couple did not reveal further details about their newborn, although they had previously announced they were expecting a girl. Palvin and Sprouse's announcement has generated significant interest among fans and followers. The couple's decision to share their personal news on social media has provided a glimpse into their family life.
Palvin recently opened up about her experience with pregnancy and the changes to her body. Speaking on Sprouse’s Wildmen podcast, the 32-year-old model said she began “spiralling” after gaining weight early in her pregnancy. She said her stomach had grown before she had a visible bump, while her clothes no longer fitted.
Palvin attributed her anxiety around her changing body to more than 20 years in the modelling industry. She began modelling at 13 and said that by 17, she was regularly told by her agency that she needed to lose weight. Palvin said she had received comments about her body throughout her career and had tried dieting and changing her appearance to meet expectations within the industry.
Palvin also recalled being labelled a plus-sized model after landing work with Victoria’s Secret. She said she did not find the label hurtful but did not see herself that way, adding that she had been “torturing” herself trying to fit a conventional body type. After losing weight, however, she said she faced criticism from people who commented that she looked too skinny.
Palvin acknowledged that, as a public figure and model, her appearance was part of her work. However, she said she had never felt the need to comment on other people’s bodies and believed that if she had nothing nice to say, she would keep it to herself. Palvin emphasized the importance of having a supportive partner during pregnancy, citing Sprouse's encouragement.
The couple's baby announcement has sparked a wave of congratulations from fans and fellow celebrities. Palvin and Sprouse's decision to share their personal news has provided a unique insight into their lives. The couple's growing family is likely to continue to attract attention from the media and the public.
