Dylan Sprouse and his wife, Barbara Palvin, attended the premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2 on April 20. While walking the red carpet, they spoke about the recent break-in that occurred at their Hollywood Hills home earlier in the month.

“I thought it would be funny to like, instead of saying anything at all, to just do performative karate,” Sprouse exclusively told E! News. “But then Barbara told me it’s cringe and I shouldn’t do it.”

As reported by TMZ, an intruder broke into their home on April 17. Sprouse allegedly held the intruder at gunpoint, then tackled him and held him down until he was arrested by officers from the Los Angeles Police Department. The authorities have not publicly identified the suspect, but the video of his arrest showed him wearing a Stamptown sweatshirt covered in dirt.

Although the experience was traumatic, Palvin explained that they’ve been “dealing with the trauma with jokes and fun.”

Sprouse added, “We’re laughing about things the moment they happen. You got to have levity in life. Thankfully, no one was hurt and there was no more violence than what happened. So, it’s all OK.”

Sprouse is most well-known for appearing on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody on the Disney Channel alongside his twin brother, Cole. The show aired from 2005 until 2008, and then a spinoff series, The Suite Life on Deck, aired from 2008 until 2011.

Sprouse started dating Palvin, a model and actress who appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and worked as a Victoria’s Secret Angel, in 2018. The pair moved in together in 2019, got engaged in 2022, and married in 2023.

When speaking about how they met, he told W Magazine, “She followed me, so I was like, I guess I’ll give her something. And I slid into her DMs. I was like, ‘Hey, I don’t know if you’re in New York for very long, but we should hang out if you want to. Here’s my number.’ And she didn’t message me for six months.”
