On Thursday, Dylan Sprouse and his wife, Barbara Palvin, announced their pregnancy at the Cannes Film Festival in France.
The couple appeared together on the red carpet, where Palvin debuted her baby bump in a light blue satin dress. Sprouse, the “Suite Life on Deck” star, wore a tuxedo beside her. In some of the photos, Palvin holds her belly.
The pair met nearly nine years ago at a party and made their relationship official in 2018. They tied the knot in July 2023.
Palvin, a Victoria’s Secret model, said Aug. 17 on social media that she had endometriosis and underwent surgery for the condition.
She wrote: “Fatigue, severe pain, heavy and irregular flow, sleepless nights on the bathroom floor. I thought this was just how it works for me. But recently I’ve been advised to seek out an endometriosis specialist to see whether my symptoms are caused by that.”
“I thought if I had endometriosis, I would have known about it by now, but as it turns out, endometriosis can’t be diagnosed with general examinations. So I went, and three months later I got operated on.”
In the Instagram post, Palvin encouraged others who suspect they have the disease to end the uncertainty and “find it out.”
According to UCLA Health, endometriosis can be definitively diagnosed only through a laparoscopy, “a minimally invasive surgery in which a doctor looks in the abdomen with a camera through the belly button.” Roughly 20% to 40% of women with infertility will have endometriosis.
