Former Disney star Debby Ryan became a mother
The actress from Disney's 'Jessie' and Josh Dun, drummer for the band Twenty One Pilots, have been together since 2013
Actress Debby Ryan and musician Josh Dun, drummer for Twenty One Pilots, welcomed their first daughter. The baby girl, named Felix Winter Dun, was born on Saturday, December 13th, in a home birth, as announced by the former Disney Channel star in a heartfelt message on her social media. Ryan, 32, shared a post filled with intimate photos and a lengthy account detailing the experience. “We sat under the full moon—the super cold moon—reminiscing about our life as a family of two and told the little one I was carrying that we were ready to become three,” she began. “At noon, Felix was born under Christmas lights, with snow falling outside our bedroom window, right into his father's hands.” A birth surrounded by love. Accompanying the announcement, the actress posted a video showing Josh Dun, 37, supporting and comforting her during labor in a tub. In her message, Ryan praised her husband's role, describing him as an "incredible partner" and noting, "He somehow didn't get dragged into the tub or drown, and he's taking such good care of his girls on this side of things." The actress also extended her gratitude to the team that assisted her: "I was strengthened by an amazing birthing team and by the strength and wisdom of women who have supported me on this journey, near and far." The post included touching family photos capturing Felix's first moments in the world. In one, the newborn is asleep with her hands under her chin; in another, Josh Dun lies with the baby on his chest, while the family dog ??rests nearby, reinforcing the warm and homey atmosphere of the announcement. Ryan poetically described these first hours of motherhood: "Her hair is silky and her breath smells like vanilla ice cream, and every coo, squeal, and whimper is music." And he added, reflecting on the fleeting nature of time: “I know that very soon I will look away, and when I look again it will be even bigger, So for now, I'd like to spend my days trapped under Felix Winter Dun's immovable eight pounds.”
Closing her emotional post, the actress shared a profound reflection: “I have been many things, but to be their home, a light of growth, a portal to bring a new soul into the world:these are my greatest honors. Welcome to Earth, little moonbeam. I will love you forever.”
The arrival of Felix Winter Dun marks a milestone in the couple's love story. They began their relationship in 2013 and married secretly in December 2019. Ryan had announced her pregnancy on September 8th through an Instagram post, maintaining a low profile about her journey until this intimate announcement of her daughter's birth.
