In the accompanying interview, Dylan Sprouse opened up about the intention behind the shoot. He said, “We didn’t necessarily feel the need to be fully transparent with the public about that aspect of our engagement. What we wanted to do with Stephen and the V team is make something that was kind of tongue-in-cheek about the nature of private versus public. We’re playing with the idea of perception.”
Sprouse also discussed his perspective on marriage. He confessed, “I think the definition of marriage is very different for our generation than what it meant for the previous one. For me, at least, marriage is a promise of kind of loving you endlessly, and being your partner. I’m nervous about the event. Frankly, it’s about the first dance. I’m nervous about a choreographed dance.”
On the other hand, Barbara Palvin provided a heartfelt view of relationships and her enthusiasm to share her culture. She revealed, “I know it’s clichĂ©, but a relationship is work. There’s no human relationship that’s just going to be perfect. You have to be vulnerable with your partner and you have to be honest, and sometimes your opinions are not going to align, but that’s fine. The key is to always want to work together and not really try to win a fight. Because if one person wins, you both lose.”
Preparing to be wed in Hungary, Palvin added, “I’m excited to show that side of me and introduce my culture, the places I grew up, and the places I went to. I feel like a lot of people will learn even more about me this way. I know there was no way we would have not had a wedding in Hungary because my parents would have killed me.”
This exclusive peek into Dylan and Barbara’s engagement, as featured in the upcoming fall preview 2023 issue of V Magazine, is sure to delight fans. The couple’s candidness about their relationship and anticipation for their wedding paints an endearing portrait of a love story that continues to evolve and flourish.
