Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin are taking a recent encounter with an alleged trespasser in stride.
Last Friday, the Los Angeles Police Department reportedly received a 911 call from Palvin, 32, about an attempted burglary at the couple’s Los Angeles home.
Sprouse, 33, tackled and restrained the suspect until police arrived, according to TMZ. Sources also told the outlet that the Riverdale star held the intruder at gunpoint before tackling him.
Asked about the scary incident Monday at the New York premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2, Palvin — married to Sprouse since 2023 — told Access Hollywood that they are “dealing with the trauma with jokes and fun.”
“We’re laughing about things the moment they happen,” Sprouse added. “You got to have levity in life. Thankfully, no one was hurt and there was no more violence than what happened. So, it’s all okay.”
The former Disney Channel star went on to show off a few karate chops, joking that “there was a lot of karate involved.”
“It was a very unfortunate situation,” Palvin continued, “and I’m just happy that we’re here and we can get this night — distraction — [with] everyone safe.”
Sprouse’s representative did not immediately respond to The Independent’s request for comment.
Reports broke over the weekend about the alleged trespassing attempt, with police confirming to The Los Angeles Times that the suspect was arrested and taken in on outstanding warrants.

Authorities clarified that the trespasser did not make it inside the couple’s home, only onto the property.
Sources told TMZ that Sprouse and Palvin did not want the alleged intruder booked for trespassing.
Last October, Sprouse supported Palvin as she walked the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on a broken foot.
“She actually did break her foot four weeks ago so she will be walking on a half-healed foot tonight,” the Suite Life of Zack and Cody star told the host, Zanna Roberts Rassi.
Directing a message to the Hungarian model, he added: “So, I wish you luck. I love you. I know you are going to kill it.
“It’s very funny, she was practicing her walk last night, but she told me I wasn’t allowed to look because it’d embarrass her, so I was very supportive,” Sprouse recalled. “I told her she looked great. And it was awesome, and she looked natural.”
