From Child Stars to Grown Men: The Remarkable Journey of Dylan and Cole Sprouse

After graduating in 2015, the twins didn’t return as a duo. Instead, they stepped out alone, driven by individual passions.

Cole Sprouse took a dramatic turn, joining the CW’s Riverdale in 2017 as Jughead Jones, a brooding writer in a dark reimagining of the Archie Comics. The role showcased Cole’s depth and earned him a loyal fan base among a new generation of viewers.

Off-screen, Cole has built a reputation as a talented photographer and is dating French-Canadian model Ari Fournier.

Dylan Sprouse, meanwhile, stayed behind the camera, working on game development and voice acting. He’s also co-founder of All-Wise Meadery, a craft brewery in Brooklyn. Dylan is engaged to Barbara Palvin, a Sports Illustrated model and actress.

Will They Ever Work Together Again?

While they’ve each found success on their own terms, fans still wonder: will we ever see the twins share the screen again?

Dylan answered that question in a 2020 interview with US Weekly: “Twin movies are never good,” he laughed. “But if the right idea comes along, I’d love to write something for us to work on together. It has to be something smart — not just a gimmick.”

That’s the heart of the Sprouse story. They didn’t stay in the industry to chase fame. They stayed to grow, to learn, and to pursue what mattered most — as individuals and as brothers.

From Baby Stars to Men of Substance

It’s easy to look back on Dylan and Cole Sprouse as the adorable little boys in Big Daddy, but doing so misses the full picture. They’ve lived extraordinary lives — not just because of their fame, but because of the choices they made when the cameras were off.

They’ve experienced the highs and lows of child stardom. They’ve stepped back, rediscovered themselves, and returned stronger. Whether working apart or together, they remain grounded, thoughtful, and deeply talented.

And whatever comes next — whether it’s acting, directing, brewing, or designing — you can bet the Sprouse twins will do it with the same authenticity and heart that’s defined them from the start.
