Cole Sprouse said he intends to be an "annoying" but loving uncle to the upcoming baby of his brother Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin.
The comments highlight a new chapter for the Sprouse family, marking the first child for the couple who have spent several years in the public eye together.
Cole shared his thoughts nearly one month after Dylan and Palvin announced they were expecting their first baby [1]. The couple made the official announcement during the Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France [2]. Cole's description of his future role as a supportive and playful uncle comes as the family prepares for the arrival of the child [3].
This pregnancy follows a series of milestones for the couple. Dylan and Palvin confirmed their engagement in June 2023 [4]. They married a month later in July 2023 during a ceremony held in Hungary [4].
Cole's reaction emphasizes the close bond between the twins as they transition into new family dynamics. By describing himself as an "annoying" uncle, Cole suggests a relationship defined by humor and playfulness, a common trope in familial roles where the uncle provides a less rigid environment than the parents.
The actor's remarks were shared as a way to express his excitement about the expanding family [5]. While the couple has kept some details of the pregnancy private since the Cannes reveal, Cole's public comments provide a glimpse into the family's anticipation.

The transition of the Sprouse twins from child stars to adulthood is now entering a new phase with the introduction of the first grandchild in the immediate sibling line. This shift often signals a change in public persona and family branding, moving from the identity of 'the twins' to individual roles as fathers and uncles.
