Once the show got started, Sprouse was seen cheering on Palvin, who walked in the show, with the cardboard cutouts he brought along.
"I love you, baby," Sprouse was heard yelling from his seat.
While speaking with TODAY.com before the event, Palvin teased her husband’s appearance at the show and said, "He’s coming prepared, he made some signs."
The model even said her hubby got a haircut for the show.
“He’s very excited," she added.
On the runway, Palvin sported a sheer silver dress with a matching set of angel wings. She referred to her outfit as “sparkly, twinkly, old Hollywood."

Palvin has appeared in previous Victoria's Secret Fashion Show events, and recalled what it was like to see her husband's reaction the first time he saw her walk in one.
“There’s a video of when I come out, he like, stands up and gasps, with his hand on his heart," she said of the 2018 throwback. "That was like one year in (of us) dating. It was a little different than now."
When asked if she thinks Sprouse will outdo that reaction, she said she hopes not.
“Then I’m just gonna laugh. I want to be like the old Hollywood glam,” she said.

“She followed me, so I was like, I guess I’ll give her something. And I slid into her DMs,” he said. “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.”
Palvin admitted that she didn't rush their relationship.
“I took my time,” she explained. “I knew I wasn’t in a good mind-set at the time, and maybe deep inside I knew that it could be something more.”
Sprouse explained that Palvin ended up texting him out of the blue one day and once they got started talking, Palvin noticed that she had a lot in common with the "Suite Life of Zack & Cody" actor.
“With Dylan, everything seemed so easy. We had the same interests, and jokes were hitting at the right spot, and he didn’t think I was disgusting or anything," she said.

You guys are going to meet him today because that’s what I do on my day off, I spend it with the people I love and I’m very much in love right now. So, it's a very good feeling."
