Speaking to E! News at the fashion show, Sprouse admitted that fatherhood had left him more exhausted than ever, while marvelling at his wife's ability to balance life with a newborn and her modelling career.

'I don't know where she finds the energy,' he said.

'I'm a tired guy all the time, and obviously having a newborn makes you more tired. Barbara's just up and in super mom mode, and now she's walking the show. I'm like, "Where does it come from?"'

The actor, who rose to fame alongside his twin brother Cole Sprouse on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, also shared an update about his daughter.

He revealed that Sylvie was beginning to recognise faces as her eyesight developed and had already started smiling and laughing at his jokes.

'She's smiling and laughing at my jokes, which is all a dad can really dream of,' he said.

Sprouse and Palvin married in Hungary in July 2023 after dating since 2018.

Their appearance at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show came as they navigate the early weeks of parenthood, with Sprouse visibly supporting Palvin as she resumed her modelling career.

For fans commenting online, Palvin's runway return was significant in its own right. Many said seeing her husband cheering her on added to the impact of the moment.
