Supermodel Barbara Palvin and actor Dylan Sprouse are expecting a baby girl [1].
The announcement marks the first child for the couple, who have spent the last several months sharing their journey with the public via social media and high-profile events.
The couple revealed the sex of the baby on the July 14, 2026, episode of the Wildmen podcast [2]. During the appearance, Sprouse shared the nickname they have chosen for the child.
"We are having a baby girl, which I'm very excited about," Sprouse said. "We've been calling her principessa, which I don't know why that's been our like—it's Italian for princess" [1].
This reveal follows the initial pregnancy announcement made on May 14, 2024 [3]. Palvin first shared the news with followers on Instagram and while attending the Cannes Film Festival [3].
Palvin, 32 [4], has continued to document the pregnancy through public appearances. This includes a recent outing where she cheered on Team U.S. at the World Cup [4].
The couple used the podcast platform to share the news directly with their fans, transitioning from the red-carpet glamour of the initial announcement to a more casual setting for the sex reveal [1].
“"We are having a baby girl, which I'm very excited about."”
The transition from a high-profile announcement at the Cannes Film Festival to a podcast reveal demonstrates a strategic blend of traditional celebrity publicity and modern, intimate digital engagement to maintain public interest in the couple's personal milestones.
