Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin have named their daughter Sylvie.
Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin have become parents
On Monday (28.09.26), the former Suite Life of Zack and Cody star and his Victoria’s Secret model wife revealed they had welcomed their baby into the world, and a day later the new dad has revealed her name as he reflected on fatherhood.
Speaking on his and Brendan Columbus’ Wildmen podcast, he said: “There’s moments when I look at Sylvie, and I’m like, ‘This is the coolest thing ever’.
“She’s looking at me and her eyes are opening. She’s got a small wake window during the day and she’s looking at me and she smiles or something and it’s the cutest thing.”
However, Dylan acknowledged not every aspect of being a new parent is sunshine and rainbows.
He quipped: “Ninety percent of the time right now, it’s like having a baby pet monkey.
“It is having a pet monkey because she is chirping and making noises and pooping and farting and burping and hiccupping. It’s like having a really poopy little animal.”
Despite the mess, the 34-year-old actor is delighted to be a girl dad, and he’s “not sure” he’d be quite as enamoured if they’d had a son.
He teased: “I got to tell you, I did not expect to like this as much as I do, dressing her up in little fits, dude.
“She’s so cute. And I’m not sure that I would think like that if I had a baby boy. You’d be thinking differently. You’d be like, ‘Ah man, a little pooper.’
“I’m looking at baby Sylvie and I’m like, ‘That’s the cutest little thing I’ve ever seen in my life’. I got this bonnet for her. Dude, I love it. It was so cute.”
The couple – who married in 2023 – took to Instagram this week to share their first photograph as a family of three, which was taken from the back and saw Dylan holding onto their newborn while they watched baseball on TV, with the trio all wearing Los Angeles Dodgers jerseys.
Suggesting the baby was born on 7 September, the joint post was captioned: “We took Labor Day literally this year [baby emoji] (sic)”
