Dylan Sprouse’s support for wife Barbara Palvin steals the spotlight at 2024 Victoria’s Secret Show
Dylan Sprouse once again demonstrated his unwavering support for wife Barbara Palvin during the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in New York, making it a memorable moment for both the couple and fans. On October 15, as Palvin confidently graced the runway, Sprouse added a playful yet heartfelt twist by surprising her with cutouts of their cherished pets — a French bulldog named Piggy Cow and a cat named Klaus Von Sprouse. This creative gesture caught Palvin’s attention, lightening the mood and showcasing the couple's bond, much to the delight of the audience.
Before the show, Sprouse shared the reason behind his quirky act with pre-show host Olivia Culpo, explaining that he brought the pet cutouts primarily to cheer up Palvin, who has a deep emotional connection to their pets. "I hope she doesn't cry," Sprouse jokingly said, recognizing that Palvin tends to be sentimental when it comes to Piggy Cow and Klaus. His lighthearted move reflected not just his love for Palvin but also his desire to ease her nerves before her big moment on the runway.
The couple, who tied the knot in July 2023 after announcing their engagement in September 2022, is known for their playful and supportive relationship. In fact, Sprouse has a history of creatively showing his support for Palvin during her Victoria’s Secret appearances. Back in 2018, he famously showed up at the event with a bag full of Shake Shack cheeseburgers, surprising Palvin with a post-show treat to celebrate her runway success.
Palvin, who made her Victoria’s Secret debut in 2018, has continued to shine as one of the brand's key models. Her return to the runway in 2024, after the show’s six-year hiatus, marked an important moment in her career, solidifying her role as a standout in the iconic lingerie brand's revival. As Palvin walked the runway with Sprouse cheering her on from the front row, the couple’s connection and Sprouse’s unwavering enthusiasm created a memorable highlight of the night.
This year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was particularly special, as it marked the brand’s return after being canceled in 2019 due to criticism over its lack of inclusivity. Palvin’s participation was a significant moment not just for her, but for the brand itself, which has worked to reposition itself in a more inclusive and modern light. Sprouse’s affectionate gesture, combined with Palvin’s striking performance on the runway, became one of the show’s most talked-about moments, with fans praising their relationship and Palvin’s continued success in the industry.
