The "Suite Life of Zack and Cody" alum Dylan Sprouse and Hungarian supermodel Barbara Palvin tied the knot in a secret ceremony in the model’s home country of Hungary over the weekend.

Bors Online, a local outlet, claims that the nuptials took place in a church just outside the Hungarian capital of Budapest.

The outlet also obtained photos of the bride, who stunned in a corset-style wedding gown and sheer gloves, walking into the building ahead of the ceremony.

Palvin, 29, kept her hair perfectly tucked behind her ears and accessorized the look with a diamond choker and a cathedral-length veil. Meanwhile, Sprouse, 30, opted for a simple black suit with a white collared shirt and a black tie. He also had two white flowers fastened onto his lapel which seemingly matched the flowers in Palvin’s bouquet.

Photos of the ceremony were also shared on Twitter, showing the newlyweds walking through the chapel arm-in-arm. It appears Sprouse’s twin brother, Cole Spouse, served as the best man as he was pictured standing near the altar as the couple made their way out of the building.

Another photo shows the happy couple celebrating their matrimony, with Dylan giving the camera a fist pump as his bride raised her arms in excitement.

The wedding comes just one month after the pair announced their engagement — despite actually getting engaged in September 2022.

The couple, who have been together since 2018, revealed the news on Instagram in conjunction with their wedding-themed spread for V magazine’s Fall 2023 cover.

“With the power invested in V I am a Sprouse to be 👰🏻‍♀️ @dylansprouse 💍🤍,” the model captioned the post.

In their interview with the magazine, Dylan explained that the couple “Didn’t necessarily feel the need to be fully transparent with the public” about their engagement right when it happened.

“I think the engagement stressed me more than the wedding,” Palvin admitted. “I mean, a man has time to prepare for the proposal — Dylan kept the ring for seven months before he asked the question — but for me, it was right then and there.”

“I knew since we started dating that I want to marry him, but it’s a big decision.”

Yet once wedding planning started, the pair’s nerves turned into excitement — mostly. At the time, Dylan explained that he was particularly “nervous” about the pair’s “choreographed” first dance.

“I’m not a good dancer,” he said.

Sprouse and Palvin first met at a party in 2017, but they weren't romantically linked until 2018.

"She followed me, so I was like, I guess I'll give her something. And I slid into her DMs," Sprouse told W Magazine in 2019.

"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."

The couple made their relationship Instagram official when Palvin posted a photo with Sprouse for his birthday in 2018.

"Even though it's your birthday I feel I just got the biggest present of all," Palvin captioned a photo of her winking alongside Sprouse. "Happy birthday Boss Baby 🎂."

In November 2018, Palvin made it clear that she was in love when she told Vogue Australia about her romance with Sprouse.

"It's not normal for me to have a boyfriend. I was single for six years," she said.

"It did pay off, I feel like I found the perfect guy. He's very kind and gentle … 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."

Three months later, the couple moved in together in Brooklyn, New York.

"We moved in we only had 4 mental breakdowns!" Sprouse jokingly captioned a since-deleted photo of himself and Palvin in their new pad.

Palvin also posted a selfie with Sprouse with the caption, "Two worms officially in the big apple."

In a video for Vogue in February 202, the duo recounted their first date and first kiss. Sprouse said that on their first date in China, Palvin ate one-third of his burrito in a single bite.

"Then you asked me to kiss you! That was our first kiss after you horked down a third of my burrito," Sprouse joked.

Palvin quipped back that they'd been talking and texting for months, so she "had to take control" and recalled asking Sprouse, "Are you going to kiss me or what?".
