How do they keep their marriage alive?

Over the years, the couple has been very vocal about both their love and support for each other.

In 2025, the Suite Life of Zack and Cody star shared a very sweet message to PEOPLE to send to his wife when she walked the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. “I love you, baby. Break a leg tonight,” he said, sharing that Barbara actually did “break her foot” four weeks earlier.

Last year in February, the couple told PEOPLE how they have kept their marriage alive, and said that they are away from each other.

“When I travel, he's there with me, and we're not away from each other,” Barbara said. “When he's on set, I try to visit him.”

“We have this rule that we're not supposed to be away from each other longer than two, three weeks,” she shared.

The former Disney star once shared that he loves having his wife with him on set. “It's definitely easier, but also, the funny thing is, the kind of big secret about the acting industry that being on set is actually really boring, so I always kind of feel bad,” he said. “I'm always like, I hope she's having fun.”

Dylan said that it's “really nice going back to the trailer, seeing Barbara, rehearsing lines, hanging out.” “It just makes the whole day a lot easier for me. But that's me being selfish,” he added.

“I come in and save the day and entertain him,” Barbara joked.
