Josh Dun said Debby Ryan gave birth to their baby girl in the couple’s bedroom, describing the moment as intense and unforgettable during an interview at the 2026 American Music Awards on May 25.
Dun said Ryan, whom he called “awesome,” flew out the day before and was doing well, adding that their five-and-a-half-month-old daughter will likely join them on tour at times depending on the schedule. The remarks, published May 26, came as the Twenty One Pilots drummer gave one of his most personal updates yet about life at home with Ryan and their child.
The couple welcomed their daughter in December 2025, and the source identifies the baby as Felix Winter Dun. Ryan had already shared some insight into the home birth when she confirmed their daughter’s arrival, but Dun’s comments added new detail about what the birth looked like inside their own home and how the experience changed him.
Dun said watching childbirth gave him a new respect for mothers, calling it no joke and saying he now understands more clearly what women go through. He said seeing their daughter grow and become more aware of him has been a feeling unlike anything he has experienced before, and he described it as magical and unbelievable.
That shift also reflects the life stage Dun and Ryan are in now. He said the baby’s travel plans will be decided show by show, but he likes the idea of her getting used to being on the road early. He also said his bandmate Tyler Joseph is already a father of three with wife Jenna Black, a reminder that the couple is entering parenthood alongside a wider circle of friends who have already been there.
For Dun, the biggest takeaway was not the tour logistics or the public update. It was the birth itself, and the way it changed what he thinks he knows about women, family and watching a child begin to understand the world.
