Supermodel Barbara Palvin is returning to the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Her runway comeback comes just six weeks after giving birth to her first child. Her husband, actor Dylan Sprouse, has shared his excitement and pride over the news.
Victoria’s Secret confirmed Palvin’s return on Friday, October 16. The model will walk the runway at Sunday’s show in Los Angeles. The brand announced her participation through a video posted on its official Instagram account. The clip featured Palvin with a baby stroller carrying the message “Angel on board.”
The announcement celebrated Palvin’s new role as a mother. It also welcomed her back to the fashion runway. The brand praised her journey into motherhood in its caption. Fans also welcomed the news and looked forward to seeing her return to the show.
Sprouse celebrated the announcement through his Instagram Stories. He praised his wife for preparing to return so soon after childbirth. The actor also shared a picture of Palvin walking their dog. She was carrying their newborn in a baby carrier. Sprouse expressed amazement at her energy and determination.
The couple welcomed their daughter, Sylvie, on September 7. Palvin is 33, while Sprouse is 34. They married in July 2023 after dating for around five years. Since becoming parents, both have continued balancing family life with their professional commitments.
Sprouse has supported Palvin during previous Victoria’s Secret appearances. Last year, she walked the runway with a broken foot. She had also undergone surgery for endometriosis months earlier. Sprouse supported her by distributing lapel pins to raise awareness about the chronic condition.
His support was also evident at an earlier fashion show. He brought cutouts of the couple’s pets and cheered from the front row. Now, Palvin is preparing for another major runway appearance. Her return marks an important professional moment following the birth of her daughter. The announcement has also attracted attention from fashion fans and followers of the couple.
