She Was Born & Raised In Hungary
Barbara grew up in Budapest, Hungary, where she was born and got married. She was discovered to model when she was just 13. She opened up about getting discovered in a 2010 interview with W magazine. “[I grew up] In an average family in Budapest. I was born there and we still live there. We often went out of town to a small village in the countryside to visit my grandmother and great-grandmother,” she said. “I was walking on the street with my mother in Budapest, near where I live, when Balazs, who’s now my manager (Icon Model Management), saw me. He asked me if I could go to their office and took some test photos. Then I started modeling.”
As part of their courtship, Barbara brought him to meet her parents in Hungary, she revealed in a 2019 interview with W. Dylan admitted that there was a bit of a language barrier, but the model still gave him advice on Hungarian traditions.

Dylan and Barbara’s love story began how many modern romances do: over social media. The actor revealed that he met her at a party and decided to shoot his shot. “She followed me, so I was like, I guess I’ll give her something. And I slid into her DM,” he said in the previously mentioned W interview.”I was like, ‘Hey, I don’t know if you’re in New York for very long, but we should hang out if you want to. Here’s my number.’ And she didn’t message me for six months.”

Her Favorite Models Are Kate Moss & Natalia Vodianova
