And thankfully, no one was hurt, and there was no more violence than what happened and so it\u2019s all okay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"npuzLaxKHxgCDhG\" style=\"display:none\">Emergency services were called to the couple\u2019s home about 12.30am after a report of an attempted burglary and police apprehended a man at the scene.<\/p>\n<p class=\"npuzLaxKHxgCDhG\" style=\"display:none\">Sources told TMZ that Sprouse confronted the alleged trespasser and held him down until police arrived. Officers were told the 33-year-old actor had a gun and confronted the man with the weapon before tackling him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"npuzLaxKHxgCDhG\" style=\"display:none\">Police insiders claimed the situation was more like trespassing than an attempted burglary, but Sprouse and Palvin didn\u2019t want the man, who didn\u2019t make it into their house, booked for trespassing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"npuzLaxKHxgCDhG\" style=\"display:none\">Instead, LAPD officers arrested the suspect, who was described as a \u201ccreepy guy\u201d, on outstanding warrants. No injuries were reported after the incident and the suspect has not been named.<\/p>\n<p class=\"npuzLaxKHxgCDhG\" style=\"display:none\">Sprouse and Palvin, 32, met at a party in 2018 and married in 2023, and the Beautiful Wedding actor previously said he feels a sense of satisfaction waking up with Palvin every morning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"npuzLaxKHxgCDhG\" style=\"display:none\">He told E! News: \u201cI really like mornings in general. Mornings are really great, just because there is like a very calm and collected satisfaction of waking up next to your wife, which is a cool thing to say, by the way, like, \u2018my wife\u2019, and also in a Borat voice, it\u2019s fun too. <\/p>\n<p class=\"npuzLaxKHxgCDhG\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cBut when you roll over and you see your beautiful wife and she\u2019s asleep and then you see your dog and you\u2019re in your house and the things that you like, created, it\u2019s very calming and it\u2019s very nice and it makes you want to work harder.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cYou\u2019ve got to have levity in life.
