The childhood antics of Cody and Zack Martin, the mischievous twins from the iconic Disney Channel series The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, are a distant memory for fans, but the real-life journeys of the actors, Dylan and Cole Sprouse, have only grown more fascinating. As of late 2025, the Sprouse twins—who turned the Disney sitcom into a global phenomenon—have solidified their status as two of Hollywood’s most intriguing and successful young men, balancing major film roles, high-profile relationships, and unique side hustles that have completely redefined their careers.

Their path was unconventional, marked by a deliberate hiatus to pursue higher education at New York University (NYU) before returning to the spotlight. Today, they are no longer just "the Disney twins," but established actors, artists, and entrepreneurs whose current projects and personal lives are constantly making headlines, proving that the move from child star to adult success is possible, especially when armed with a unique vision and a fresh perspective.

1. Dylan Sprouse’s Explosive Action-Thriller Era and Married Life

Dylan Sprouse, known to millions as the more rebellious Zack Martin, has successfully shed the Disney image by embracing a new era of diverse, often darker, film roles. His career trajectory in 2024–2025 is a sharp contrast to his sitcom days, focusing heavily on action, drama, and romance franchises.

The Beautiful Disaster Franchise and New Action Thrillers

Following his role as Travis Maddox in the successful film adaptation of Jamie McGuire’s novel, Beautiful Disaster, Dylan reprised the role in the 2024 sequel, Beautiful Wedding. This popular young adult franchise cemented his status as a leading man in the romance genre, but his 2025 slate shows a pivot toward high-stakes action.

One of his most anticipated upcoming projects is the action thriller The Neglected, which was screened at the Newport Beach Film Festival (NBFF) in 2025. Starring alongside Josh Duhamel, the film sees Dylan take on a serious, gritty role, signaling a major transition in his acting portfolio. Furthermore, he has been attached to the 2025 project Under Fire, further solidifying his commitment to the thriller genre.

Life with Barbara Palvin: A Power Couple Status

In his personal life, Dylan’s relationship with Hungarian supermodel Barbara Palvin has become a major talking point. After a low-key wedding ceremony in Hungary in 2023/2024, the couple has become a fashion and celebrity power duo. Their marriage is often highlighted in the media, with Dylan himself revealing their rule for making the relationship work: never being apart for more than two weeks, a testament to the dedication they have to their life together despite their busy schedules.

2. Cole Sprouse’s Post-Riverdale Ascent to Indie Film Star and Photographer

Cole Sprouse, who played the academically inclined Cody Martin, has enjoyed a similarly successful, yet distinct, career path. While his twin brother was focusing on action and romance, Cole spent six seasons as the brooding Jughead Jones on The CW’s hit series Riverdale, which concluded its run, freeing him up for a new wave of major film projects in 2025.

A Diverse 2025 Film Slate

Cole’s post-TV career is marked by a focus on diverse and often character-driven films. In 2024, he starred in the horror-comedy Lisa Frankenstein, and his 2025 calendar is packed with highly anticipated releases.

He is set to star in the film adaptation of the acclaimed young adult novel I Wish You All The Best, where he plays Thomas, a non-binary character, showcasing his interest in projects with significant social commentary. Additionally, he is filming or attached to major projects like the crime thriller The Rivals of Amziah King and Elastic Hearts, which was recently filmed in Texas.

The Secret Life of Cole: Photography and Ari Fournier

Beyond acting, Cole Sprouse has cultivated a serious second career as a professional photographer. His work, which is often artistic and evocative, has been featured in major fashion and culture publications. He uses his photography skills not just for professional shoots but also for his famous Instagram account, @camera_duels, where he humorously captures fans attempting to sneak photos of him, turning the tables on celebrity privacy.

In his personal life, Cole has been dating Canadian model Ari Fournier since 2021. Unlike his brother’s high-profile marriage, Cole and Ari maintain a relatively low-key relationship, often sharing glimpses of their adventures and artistic pursuits together, keeping their personal lives grounded away from the Hollywood frenzy.

3. The Enduring Legacy of The Suite Life and the Twins’ Future

Despite their current successes, the legacy of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and its spin-off, The Suite Life on Deck, remains a cornerstone of their fame. The Disney Channel show, which premiered 20 years ago, is frequently revisited by fans, and the twins often field questions about the characters and the possibility of a reboot.

The Sprouse twins have repeatedly expressed their gratitude for the show but have also been clear about their desire to move beyond it. Their current choices—Dylan’s pivot to action and Cole’s focus on indie and dramatic roles—are a calculated effort to define their adult careers independently of their childhood characters, Cody and Zack. Their time at NYU, where they studied video game design and archeology, was a crucial step in this evolution, allowing them to step away from the industry and return as fully formed adults with diverse interests.

As they navigate their early 30s in 2025, the Sprouse brothers are not just surviving the transition from child stardom; they are thriving. They have successfully leveraged their initial fame into topical authority across multiple creative fields—from acting and photography to entrepreneurship and fashion. Their future will likely see them continue to take on challenging roles, produce their own content, and maintain their unique blend of celebrity and artistic integrity, ensuring that the "life of Cody and Zack" is far more complex and rewarding than any Disney script could have imagined.
