Barbara Palvin is addressing mixed reactions to her return to the Victoria's Secret runway just six weeks after welcoming her first child with her husband, Dylan Sprouse.
The 33-year-old model walked in the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show following the Sept. 7 birth of their daughter, Sylvie. Her appearance drew criticism from people who felt she should have spent more time resting after childbirth.
Speaking exclusively to E! News during the Sprouse House Halloween Party in Los Angeles on Oct. 31, Barbara Palvin said the response to her comeback was "50-50."
"Some people loved that I was back, and some people were like, maybe I should be resting at home."
Barbara Palvin also emphasized that postpartum recovery looks different for every mother, explaining:
"Everyone's postpartum journey is different, and this is just mine."
The model and mom of one admitted she felt "overwhelmed" by the widespread reaction to her return, but she expressed gratitude for her family's support.
"I'm lucky that I have the support from my husband and my family. And they were able to get me there."
