Barbara Palvin is a model that has adorned the staged of many popular brands since her debut back in 2006. Here are all the things you need to know about her, including relationships and income.
Early Life
Barbara Palvin, who was born on October 8, 1993, was raised in Budapest, Hungary. She did not reveal her parents’ names, but the model did speak of her older sister Anita, who has gained quite a social media following through Barbara.
Not much is known about her education either, but we do know that Palvin was keen on soccer and singing back in her school days.
Career
a modeling scout discovered Barbara while she was walking around Budapest with her mother. She was 13 years old at the time. Right away, she did her first photoshoot with Spur Magazine.
She made her runway debut with Prada in 2010 but since then walked for Victoria’s Secret, Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton, Christopher Kane, Vivienne Westwood, Nina Ricci, and so many more.
She is the first and so far the only Hungarian woman who has become a Victoria’s Secret Angel. Back in 2016, she was ranked fourth on the Maxim Hot 100 list. She is also one of the most popular models on Tumblr.
So far, Barbara has adorned the covers of many fashion magazines, including Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, and Marie Claire.
Many people often compare her looks to Brooke Shields and Natalia Vodianova. Given that Barbara does not precisely have the usual model curves or the lack of the same, the media reckons that the brands are trying to direct themselves towards “body positivity“.
As far as acting is concerned, the blue-eyed European has portrayed the role of Antimache in the 2014 movie adaptation of Hercules.
Personal Life
Back in 2012, the model was spotted with ultra-famous singer Justin Bieber at the Broadway musical The Lion King. His then-girlfriend Selena Gomez retweeted a photo of the two, resulting in Victoria’s Secret model to deny any rumors, stating that they were nothing more then friends.
Dylan Sprouse met Barbara Palvin at a party that took place in the summer of 2018. The actor had taken an immediate liking to her and direct-messaged her on Instagram that same night.
The model spoke about sparking an interest for Dylan the moment she had first seen him, and that she was sure that she wanted to become more than friends with him.
She visited while he was staying in China for a movie shoot that summer. Their hangouts stayed unnoticed by the public until mid-July when the couple was spotted at the Russia World Cup.
Their relationship was first confirmed by the model on Sprouse’s 26th birthday. In her Instagram post about it, she nicknamed him Boss Baby.
Hungarian fans spotted the two walking around Budapest, Barbara’s home town. When later asked about it, Dylan said that he had tried to learn a bit of Hungarian during the trip so he could talk to his girlfriend’s parents. He had stated that he was not nervous about meeting them.
Being a supportive boyfriend he truly is, Dylan couldn’t stop cheering for Barbara as she walked Victoria’s Secret runway. Funnily enough, he also brought her burgers after that show.
By January 2019, the two were already huddled up in their shared apartment in New York City. Sometime after moving in, Palvin met Cole Sprouse, Dylan’s twin brother, for the first time. The two couldn’t be introduced earlier, given that Cole had spent most of his time in Canada, shooting hit series Riverdale.
The couple celebrated their first anniversary on June 16, 2019, and are still going strong.
After their wholesome trip to Europe, the couple attended several shows at New York Fashion Week.
Before her relationship with the Sprouse ex-Disney star, the model was in a short-lived fling with soul singer Julian Perretta. She also reportedly dated Niall Horan and Lewis Hamilton, who is a Formula 1 driver.
