The announcement came simultaneously with an interview published in V Magazine where the pair detailed their romance. “Sprouse’s to be,” Sprouse who is known for playing Zack Martin on the Disney Channel series 'The Suite Life of Zack & Cody' and its spin-off, 'The Suite Life on Deck' wrote on his Instagram while Palvin, the Hungarian model stated, "With the power invested in V I am a Sprouse to be."

'I knew we were building this story up'
"I knew we were building this story up. So, I’m very happy that we ended up doing it our way," Palvin said in the interview before adding, "Also, we just want to do it on our time." Palvin was spotted supporting Sprouse at a screening of his new film 'The Duel' in March while donning a sizable diamond ring, igniting engagement speculations as per JustJared. When Sprouse slipped into Palvin's DMs and asked to hook together when he was in New York in 2018, their relationship officially began that year.
'I ghosted him for six months until I got myself back into the picture'
Even though the pair dated for five years officially, they had met eight months prior when they had a short interaction, "and then I ghosted him for six months until I got myself back into the picture," Palvin said with a laugh. Sprouse detailed how Palvin made her way back into his life, as he stated, "We had gone our separate ways for six months, then she hit me up six months later while I was filming this movie. She was like, 'Hey, I’m in New York, do you want to hang out?' I was like, “Look, you picked the worst possible time, Barbara, because I’m going to be in China for six months.” She told me in return, “No, actually, I don’t think it’s the worst time because I’m going to have a campaign out there in about two months.”
Sprouse revealed that "mutual roasting" helped to form this bond. Sprouse said, "I think the thing that really drew us together was our mutual roasting of each other when we first met. That was something that left a lasting impression." On the other hand, for Palvin, "it is a cliche, but a relationship is work. There’s no human relationship that’s just going to be perfect." She knows there are vulnerabilities and conflicts of opinion but that is all fine and the "key is to always want to work together and not really try to win a fight. Because if one person wins, you both lose.''
