Dylan and Cole Sprouse captured our hearts over 25 years ago as the adorable twins in *Big Daddy* with Adam Sandler. Now grown men, the brothers aren’t as inseparable as before but remain very close.
Born in 1992, the blonde twins started acting as babies, sharing roles in commercials and TV shows. They gained attention in *Grace Under Fire* as Patrick Kelly from 1993 to 1998. Their breakout role came in *Big Daddy* (1999), where they charmed audiences with their witty performances.
Cole recalled working with Sandler, telling *People* in 2022, “He strikes a very, really good balance between art and business,” and admired how Sandler “raises up all of his friends.”
In 2000, Cole briefly split from Dylan to star as Ross’s son Ben on *Friends*, where he developed a crush on Jennifer Aniston. He admitted, “I’m fairly sure I fell in love with Jennifer Aniston” and often felt intimidated on set.
Today, Cole stars as Jughead in *Riverdale* and is dating model Ari Fournier, while Dylan co-founded All-Wise Meadery and is engaged to model Barbara Palvin.
Stepmother shares heartfelt wedding vows with her four-year-old stepson, and his response is truly touching
There’s something uniquely moving about weddings that often brings tears of joy to everyone involved. Four-year-old Gage learned this lesson in a profound way during his father, US Marine Corps Sergeant Joshua Newville’s wedding to Senior Airman Emily Leehan in Ripley, New York, a few years back.
Little Gage was doing a great job of holding it together until the moment his father’s bride began reciting vows she had personally written for him. That’s when the emotions hit him hard.
As Gage stood proudly by his father’s side during the ceremony, he had no idea that Leehan had prepared a special set of vows just for him. When she began to share them in front of a teary-eyed audience, it quickly became overwhelming for the little boy.
As Leehan started: “I want you to be safe, and to try your hardest and to be a good person”, Gage could no longer contain himself and burst into tears, throwing his arms around her.
The audience collectively gasped, responding with a heartfelt “awww” as Leehan tried to comfort him, saying: “Don’t cry, baby”. At that moment, it was clear that Gage’s emotional outpouring was entirely understandable.
Leehan continued: “The last thing I hope you learn is that you are a special boy. You are so extremely smart, handsome, and kind to others. You have helped shape me into the woman that I am today, and while I may not have given you the gift of life, life certainly gave me the gift of you”.
It wasn’t just Gage who was overcome; both Leehan and Newville shed tears as they continued with their vows. Gage certainly captured the spotlight, not just with his adorable suit and innocent gaze, but also with a reaction that is sure to resonate with viewers everywhere.
According to ABC7, the newlyweds, Leehan and Newville, returned to active duty immediately after their wedding and couldn’t head off for a honeymoon right away. Instead, they went back to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst to begin their married life.
Despite the busy schedule, their ceremony was unforgettable. You can watch the heartwarming video of Gage’s reaction to Leehan’s vows below, be sure to have some tissues handy! It was a truly beautiful ceremony and a poignant reminder of love’s incredible power. We wish Joshua and Emily all the best in their journey together.
