Dylan Sprouse Supports Wife Barbara Palvin at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show with Giant Pet Cutouts
Dylan Sprouse wasn’t alone in his support of wife Barbara Palvin at the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
Siting front row in New York City on Tuesday, Oct. 15, the 32-year-old actor cheered on his supermodel wife — whom he wed in 2023 — while holding two cardboard cutouts of their pets, french bulldog Piggy Cow and cat Klaus Von Sprouse.
PEOPLE was sitting directly behind Sprouse, and captured the sweet moment on camera. “I love you, baby!” he shouted, while standing and seemingly capturing Palvin’s attention.
Earlier in the evening, on the pink carpet, Sprouse told pre-show co-host Olivia Culpo that he brought the posters of their “children” because he “figured it would make her smile.”
“I hope she doesn’t cry,” he said, noting that it is “a strong possibility [because] she’s pretty sappy about these two.”

Sprouse and Palvin began dating just months before the 31-year-old Hungarian model appeared in the 2018 Victoria Secret’s Fashion Show. Though she’s appeared on the brand’s runway another time since, Sprouse still admitted he was feeling anxious about her return.
“I’m secondhand nervous,” he told the Hollywood Reporter. “I couldn’t walk in my tighty whities anywhere. It’s like a lot of pressure! I hope it’s warmer in there!”
Still, he said that he’s “always impressed and proud of” Palvin. “She’s worked really, really hard for this,” he said.
And Sprouse’s eyes were only on Palvin. Asked by Culpo if there’s anything else he’s looking forward to regarding the fashion show’s return, Sprouse firmly and cheekily said, “No, I don’t care. [I’m] only interested in seeing my wife.”
“You’ve been trained well,” Culpo said with a laugh, as Sprouse declared, “I love you, baby.”
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returned to the runway this year for the first time since 2018, after its 2019 cancellation amid criticism for its lack of inclusivity.
Sprouse, when asked by Culpo how this show could be different from other shows, admitted, “I don’t know. I’m just a stupid guy. I don’t do this. I play a lot of video games a day!”
Although the actor doesn’t “do this,” on Sunday, Oct. 13, he joined Palvin for an Instagram video that got fans excited about the show. During his fun cameo, he wore his wife’s pink-and-white striped robe and under-eye patches.
Meanwhile, Tuesday night wasn’t the first time Sprouse delivered something outside-of-the-box for Palvin at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
In 2018, Sprouse showed up at the show with a bag of Shake Shack cheeseburgers, at Palvin’s request for a post-show cheat meal.
He took his burger delivery job so seriously, too — keeping the bag under his seat at the show before handing it over in person on the after-show red carpet (for which he was rewarded with a big smooch).
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show airs on Tuesday, Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. ET on Prime Video or Victoria’s Secret YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram.
