In a 2019 interview with W magazine, Palvin confessed that Sprouse appeared in her DMs after she followed him on Instagram. “She followed me, so I was like, I guess I’ll give her something,” Sprouse told the outlet. “And I slid into her DMs. “I was like, ‘Hey, I don’t know if you’re in New York for very long, but we should hang out if you want to. Here’s my number.’ And she didn’t message me for six months.” Of course, Palvin did eventually respond six months later, and the rest was history.
