It’s been two decades since Dylan and Cole Sprouse started wreaking havoc in the halls of the Tipton Hotel on the Disney Channel’s The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.
And now, on the show’s 20th anniversary, we’re looking at the love many of them have found, as spouses, partners and even parents. From Dylan’s marriage to model Barbara Palvin to Ashley Tisdale’s family of four that she shares with husband Christopher French, see the real life loves of these Disney Channel alums.

Years after his stint as one half of Zack and Cody, Dylan found love with Hungarian Victoria’s Secret model Barbara Palvin, whom he started dating in 2018. Five years later the two tied the knot in Hungary in front of 115 guests in July 2023.

Dylan’s twin Cole (the other half of Zack and Cody) and his girlfriend Ari Fournierwere first spotted together back in March 2021.
“The current relationship I’m in has woke me up to what real compatibility and trust looks like in a way that I have never had before,” Cole told Alex Cooper on an episode of Call Her Daddy. “It’s been two years and some change and it’s felt like a week… It’s been incredible. I’ve never experienced this level of compatibility and it’s made me look back on my youth and go, ‘Well, you really didn’t know,’ which is nuts.”
So is marriage on the horizon?
“I am now the only unwed Sprouse. I’m the only spouse-less Sprouse, but I don’t feel too much pressure. I’m taking it one day at a time,” he told PEOPLE in 2024.

London Tipton is all grown up! She found love with fellow child star Macaulay Culkin. Since their relationship first started back in 2017, the couple has welcomed two children together: Dakota, born in 2021, and Carson, born in 2023. In 2022 they got engaged.
While they have yet to tie the knot, Song told Cosmopolitan earlier this year that they pair had “talked about eloping” — though opted out of the idea as they knew how much it would upset her mom.
