The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is back under its usual spotlight, dripping in glamour and controversy alike. Among the angels strutting glistens Barbara Palvin, a name that now screams resilience, and not just in a runway-ready sort of way. Watching her glide down the ramp walk evoked in Dylan Sprouse, not just a doting husband but a beside-himself cheerleader whose admiration for Palvin might just border on poetic. His gushy declarations turned what should have been just another catwalk into a verbal love letter saturated with raw pride.
When a broken foot meets the catwalk, only a true beast survives, and Dylan Sprouse is here to tell all about why Barbara Palvin earned that title.

Dylan Sprouse did not mince words when calling his wife of two years “a beast”. Barbara Palvin’s grit, he expressed, “is astonishing actually”, hinting towards how courageously she walked the runway despite having “her foot” broken four weeks ago. Regardless, as any better-half would, Sprouse confessed he is “nervous at the same time for her”, while still admiring her “nonchalant” attitude towards performing. He also praised her bravery in dealing with the recent endometriosis surgery, about which she raised awareness through social media. His FaceTime check-ins and lunch runs showed not just a casually supportive husband, but a life-subscribed cheerleader fully invested in the show.
The annual 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, held on October 15 in New York City, reclaimed its spot after a hiatus with all the usual sparkle—and then some, and even though Sydney Sweeney was not in sight, the show went on full throttle. Palvin is no newcomer; she has been a beloved fixture of the show for years, having walked on the show since 2012, becoming an angel in 2019. But this season was particularly remarkable, with Palvin strutting despite injuries and health issues. This is not just fashion, it is determination.
From probably having slid into each other’s DMs to correcting their titles post-marriage, the Sprouse’s love story is more prime-time than unnecessary plot twists.

When it comes to Barbara Palvin and Dylan Sprouse, the story reads like a modern-day fairy tale romance. They met in 2017 and tied the knot in 2023 at Palvin’s family estate in Hungary. Instances of their affection for each other, honoring their bond, have gone viral on the internet one too many times. From Palvin insisting in front of the paparazzi that, “it is Mrs. Sprouse!” to Sprouse immediately jumping in with a spirited “you tell ’em, baby!”, the pair has made a rightful round around the wedding house. Sprouse’s consistent public praise and creative cheerleading moments, and Palvin’s pride in being called part of his life, prove that a bond made forever is about more than appearances.

Watching Sprouse and Palvin, one must admit: this is the kind of partnership that makes even the glitziest runway look a bit more real.
