Barbara Palvin and Dylan Sprouse just turned the Cannes 2026 red carpet into a baby reveal. The Hungarian model and her actor husband made their appearance at the festival on May 14, cradling a visible baby bump that sent the internet into a frenzy. What followed was an Instagram post, a rock on sonogram, and a love story that keeps getting better.

Barbara Palvin and Dylan Sprouse are expecting their first child together. The couple made the announcement at the 79th Cannes Film Festival, where Palvin debuted her baby bump at the premiere of Parallel Tales. Sprouse stood beside her in a classic black tuxedo as she cradled her stomach, and the two posed together with his hands gently placed on her bump.

Palvin stunned in a custom Miu Miu baby blue satin gown that elegantly highlighted her bump. The color choice sent the internet into a frenzy of gender speculation, though the couple has confirmed nothing. Following their red carpet debut, Palvin and Sprouse posted a joint Instagram announcement featuring red carpet images, a sonogram of the baby throwing a rock on hand sign, and three matching emojis as their caption.

Among those flooding the comments were former co-stars of Sprouse. Vanessa Hudgens, who worked alongside Sprouse on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, congratulated the couple online. Brenda Song also commented, expressing joy for the pair. The announcement drew widespread celebration, reflecting how beloved both Palvin and Sprouse are across their respective fan bases.

While the world celebrated the newest Sprouse family addition, the love story behind it is just as worth knowing.

Inside Barbara Palvin and Dylan Sprouse's love story

Barbara Palvin and Dylan Sprouse first crossed paths at a Harper's Bazaar party in Los Angeles in 2017. Sprouse later slid into Palvin's DMs, though she took six months to reply. She eventually flew to China, where Sprouse was filming, and that trip became their first real date. The couple confirmed their relationship publicly in 2018 and moved in together in Brooklyn by early 2019.

Sprouse proposed in September 2022, and the couple married on July 15, 2023, in Hungary, near the very church where Palvin's parents exchanged vows decades earlier. This pregnancy carries added significance, as Palvin publicly shared her endometriosis diagnosis in 2025 and underwent surgery to remove lesions and scar tissue. From a six-month DM silence to parenthood announced at Cannes, Palvin and Sprouse have written quite the love story.
