Look Back at Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin's Romance, From DMs to Their Wedding

Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin have long been one of fashion's favorite couples, and now they've given all their fans a new milestone to celebrate by getting married after five years of dating. The duo announced their engagement to the world in an interview with V magazine on June 15, exactly one month before they tied the knot in Hungary, but they also revealed that Sprouse actually popped the question back in September 2022.

"We didn't necessarily feel the need to be fully transparent with the public about that aspect of our engagement," Sprouse said of their choice to keep the news private. Palvin added, "We just want to do it on our time. When some people leaked the information that we got engaged, our PR team was like, 'Hey, so you guys should do maybe a post about it or talk to this magazine or talk to that magazine . . .' That really annoyed me because I knew we were building this story up. So, I'm very happy that we ended up doing it our way."

Their engagement and wedding are just two of many memorable milestones in the couple's five-year relationship. From the goals-worthy moment when Sprouse brought Palvin Shake Shack after the 2018 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show to moving into their Brooklyn apartment together, we're here for it all.

In case you missed any of the big moments in these lovebirds' romance thus far, we created a complete timeline ahead.

In a 2019 interview with W magazine, Palvin confessed that Sprouse appeared in her DMs after she followed him on Instagram. "She followed me, so I was like, I guess I'll give her something," Sprouse told the outlet. "And I slid into her DMs. "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." Of course, Palvin did eventually respond six months later, and the rest was history.
