Here’s a look at the Sprouse twins at 30 — where Dylan and Cole Sprouse are today and how their lives have evolved since their Disney Channel fame. Born on August 4, 1992, the identical twin actors first appeared on screen as babies and became household names for their roles as Zack and Cody Martin on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and its sequel The Suite Life on Deck. Today, both are in their early 30s and have pursued careers and passions that extend well beyond their childhood sitcom success.
After the end of their Disney era in 2011, the brothers chose to step back from full-time acting to pursue education. Both attended New York University, where Dylan studied video game design and Cole focused on humanities and archaeology — a change that reflected their interest in creative and intellectual growth beyond acting. Dylan later returned to acting with roles in films like Dismissed (2017), After We Collided (2020), Beautiful Disaster (2023), Beautiful Wedding (2024), and Aftermath (2024), and even ventured into action genres like Under Fire (2025). In addition to acting, he became an entrepreneur, co-founding All-Wise Meadery in Brooklyn — a successful small business — and expanding into other ventures like Thor’s Skyr.
Meanwhile, Cole Sprouse also reignited his acting career after college with a breakout role as Jughead Jones on The CW’s hit series Riverdale (2017–2023), which helped him transition into more mature and varied roles. Beyond Riverdale, he has appeared in films including Five Feet Apart (2019), Moonshot (2022), and Lisa Frankenstein (2024), and continues to work on diverse projects, with his involvement in independent and mainstream films drawing notice. Cole is also passionate about photography, contributing to editorial shoots and building a creative portfolio outside of acting.
On the personal front, both twins have built fulfilling lives outside of Hollywood’s early spotlight. Dylan married model Barbara Palvin in July 2023 after dating for several years, and the couple share creative and public moments together. Cole has been in a long-term relationship with model Ari Fournier since 2021 and continues to balance his personal and professional life. Although nostalgic fans often ask about a Suite Life reunion, both brothers have suggested that any future joint project would have to be meaningful and creatively right for them, rather than a simple nostalgia play. As the Sprouse twins settle into their 30s, they remain active in their respective fields, showing that life beyond childhood fame can be rich with reinvention, purpose, and personal growth.
