Barbara Palvin Baby News: Dylan Sprouse Reveals Daughter's Name

Disney Channel alum Dylan Sprouse and model Barbara Palvin are parents to a baby girl. The Barbara Palvin baby announcement arrived on Monday, September 28, when the couple revealed in a joint Instagram post that their daughter had been born about three weeks earlier. The next day, Sprouse revealed on his Wildmen podcast that the couple named her Sylvie.

The Barbara Palvin baby reveal kept the photo simple. Sprouse and Palvin shared an image of themselves from behind, holding their newborn between them while watching a Los Angeles Dodgers game on television. All three wore matching Dodgers jerseys. The caption joked that the couple took Labor Day literally this year, pointing to a September 7 birthday. iHeart's report on the announcement noted the playful caption, while Parade's coverage described the matching jerseys and the television scene.

Sprouse reveals the name on Wildmen

On the September 29 episode of Wildmen, the podcast Sprouse hosts with Brendan Columbus, the new father introduced Sylvie by her full name. "She's very lovely. Her name is Sylvie, Sylvie Sprouse," he said, according to goss.ie's account of the episode. Just Jared also reported that Sprouse confirmed the name during the episode. The Barbara Palvin baby name had not been disclosed in the original announcement.

Sprouse described the early days with warmth. Looking at his daughter, he called her the coolest thing ever and talked about watching her eyes open during short daytime wake windows, when she smiles at him. The details come from goss.ie and Just Jared's reports on the episode.

He joked about the messier side of newborn life as well. "Ninety percent of the time right now, it's like having a baby pet monkey," he told Columbus, adding that she chirps, makes noises, and produces the full catalog of infant sounds. Just Jared and iHeart both carried the remarks from the episode.

Sprouse said fatherhood has surprised him, particularly how much he enjoys dressing Sylvie in small outfits, and joked that he might feel differently about a son. He added that some days Sylvie looks exactly like her mother, describing her as roughly an even split between the two of them, according to goss.ie. Parade also reported that People confirmed the baby's name as Sylvie.

From Cannes to "principessa"

Before the Barbara Palvin baby arrived, the couple announced the pregnancy in May at the Cannes Film Festival, where Palvin debuted her baby bump on the red carpet in a light blue dress with Sprouse in a tuxedo at her side. Riviera Radio reported that the pair later paired their festival photos with an image of the baby's ultrasound.

On the July premiere episode of Wildmen, the couple revealed they were expecting a girl. They had been calling their unborn daughter principessa, the Italian word for princess, and Sprouse said he was excited to become a girl dad, according to balita.org's account of the episode.

Sprouse, 34, and Palvin, 32, married in July 2023 on the grounds of Palvin's parents' property in Hungary, according to Riviera Radio. Sprouse found fame alongside twin brother Cole on Disney Channel's The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, while Palvin built her career as a Hungarian model and former Victoria's Secret Angel, which makes her a natural fit for this year's Victoria's Secret runway lineup. Fashion week season has delivered its share of celebrity moments too, like Heart Evangelista's front-row win over Paris Hilton in New York.
