Their romance is truly a love story for the Gen Z set: Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin got together after the former Suite Life of Zack and Cody star slid into the Victoria’s Secret model’s DMs.
Still, there’s more to the story that makes this couple’s relationship even cuter: According to 26-year-old Dylan, he sent his now-girlfriend, 25, his number — and she didn’t answer for six months.
In a new interview with W magazine for the publication’s digital Instazine, the couple dishes on their Hollywood romance, sharing details about the unlikely things they’ve bonded over and the fact that Barbara has actually yet to meet Dylan’s twin brother Cole.
‘She followed me [on Instagram], so I was like, I guess I’ll give her something,’ Dylan said.
‘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.’
Barbara said she ‘wasn’t in a good mind-set’ when Dylan first sent that Instagram message, and ‘maybe deep inside I knew that it could be something more.’
‘I’m not one to chase,’ Dylan added. ‘If I get left on read after putting out my number, f*** that. I’m crying internally, but outwardly…’
He ended up filming a movie in China for six months. While he was there, Barbara came up in conversation — and her ears must have been ringing.
