Dylan Sprouse recently faced a frightening situation when an intruder allegedly broke into the home he shares with his wife, Barbara Palvin.
Reports indicate that the 33-year-old actor encountered the intruder at their Hollywood Hills residence in Los Angeles on Friday, April 17. The incident was initially reported by TMZ.
As detailed by The Los Angeles Times, Sprouse managed to subdue the individual on their lawn after Palvin, who is 32, spotted the “suspicious man.” She promptly called 911 around 12:30 a.m., reporting a potential burglary attempt.
The actor, known for his role in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, allegedly armed himself and held the intruder until law enforcement arrived, according to TMZ, citing anonymous sources.
Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin have been in a committed relationship since June 2018, although their journey began with some initial hesitance. In a February 2019 interview with W Magazine, Palvin shared, “I knew I wasn’t in a good mindset at the time, and maybe deep inside I knew it could be something more,” reflecting on their early days together.
Police reportedly told The Times that the suspect was taken in on outstanding warrants and that no injuries were reported. Per the outlet, the intruder made it on to the property but not inside the couple’s house.
Us Weekly has reached out to Sprouse’s representatives for comment.
Sprouse first met Victoria’s Secret model Palvin at a party in 2017 and “clicked” but their romance got off to a slow start when she ignored his subsequent DM message for six months.
“I was very scared,” Palvin told British Vogue in February 2020. “I had this thought in the back, like, ‘Oh, but wait … are we going to get paparazzi’ed all the time?’”

After making their relationship official in 2018, the couple moved in together in Brooklyn in January 2019. Their relationship soared to new heights when Sprouse proposed in September 2022.
Sprouse and Palvin spoke about their engagement in a June 2023 interview with V Magazine.
“For me, at least, marriage is a promise of kind of loving you endlessly and being your partner. I’m nervous about the event,” Sprouse told the outlet. “Frankly, it’s about the first dance. I’m nervous about a choreographed dance.”
For her part, Palvin admitted that the engagement was more nerve-racking than the marriage itself even though she knew he was The One from the beginning.
“I mean, a man has time to prepare for the proposal — Dylan kept the ring for seven months before he asked the question — but for me, it was right then and there,” she said. “I knew since we started dating that I want to marry him, but it’s a big decision.”
Dylan Sprouse and his wife, Barbara Palvin, are teaching Us how to subtly coordinate on date night.

In an interview with Vogue published in July 2023, Palvin recalled Sprouse’s proposal, which took place during a camping trip in California.
“It was very romantic,” she told the outlet. “I was suspicious and thought he might pop the question because he packed a shirt that was too nice for camping.”
The couple ultimately tied the knot in Albertirsa, Hungary in July 2023, exchanging vows at the same church where Palvin’s parents got married more than three decades earlier.
