Watch: Cole Sprouse Reveals What Kind of Uncle He’ll Be to Dylan Sprouse, Barbara Palvin’s Baby
Cole Sprouse is ready to live the suite life as an uncle.
After his twin brother Dylan Sprouse announced he was expecting his first baby with wife Barbara Palvin, the Riverdale star shared insight into the type of uncle he’s hoping to be.
“I have a couple godkids, too, and I’m always getting them swords and drum kits,” Cole told CBS Mornings in an interview published June 8. “I’m going to be a really annoying brother, specifically.”
Barbara and Dylan announced they were expecting their first baby together in a May 14 Instagram post featuring a photo of themselves at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival in France. In the adorable snap, the model cradled her growing baby bump as she looked lovingly at her husband.
The couple also shared a sonogram of a fetus holding up a rock on sign, which they went on to recreate in a third photo.
The pair’s latest milestone comes nearly three years after they tied the knot—and six years after their meet cute. Dylan, 33, and Barbara, 32, first met on a red carpet in 2017 before the Disney Channel alum slid into her DMs. After a brief ghosting by the Victoria’s Secret angel, they pair reconnected—and Dylan has shared how their romance has forever changed him.
“She inspires me to dress better,” Dylan told E! News in 2024. “When we started dating, I was wearing Kmart white tees with the armpit stains on them.”
And though Barbara loves him in every form, Dylan jokingly admitted that she told him early on in their relationship, “‘You need to not do that and you need to wear cologne.'”

And that’s not the only way Barbara has left her mark on Dylan.
“Before getting married, your whole goal is to get married,” he explained. “Then, once you reached that point, your next goal is to decide what you want it to be. For some people, that’s having kids. For some people, that’s getting a house.”
Initially, the couple didn’t know what they wanted.
“We woke up the day after the wedding,” he added, “and looked at each other and were like, ‘What do we do now?'”
From there, the couple hatched what Dylan joked was a “secret” plan—which ended up including parenthood.

For her part, Barbara knows any chapter is one worth stepping into with Dylan by her side.
“He’s brought calm and a sense of humor to my life,” she told L’Beauté in an interview published May 23. “We understand each other’s worlds, but we also keep things super normal at home, which I think is important.”
As she put it, “The best part is having someone who’s truly supportive, but also keeps you grounded. We balance each other out.”
