At the American Music Awards on May 25, 2026, Twenty One Pilots drummer Josh Dun said Debby Ryan gave birth in their bedroom and that their daughter will travel with the family while he tours.
"My wife is awesome," Dun told E! News, adding: "She gave birth in our bedroom. And we have a five-and-a-half-month-old who's also great. She flew out here yesterday and did great. It's a lot of fun." Dun named their daughter Felix Winter Dun and said she was born in December 2025.
The detail that Ryan delivered at home and the couple’s plan for life on the road matters because it changes the practical picture for a touring musician: Dun said the baby "will make stops on our tour with us," and that the travel plan is "kind of show-by-show basis." He added, "but I like the idea of her traveling young and getting used to travel, getting used to seeing new places."
On the numbers side, the child is five-and-a-half-months-old, born in December 2025, and Dun made the comments on May 25, 2026 at the awards show; the interview was published the next day. He used plain language to describe what parenthood has meant to him: "It's amazing, it's magical and awesome watching life come into the world," he said, and called the experience "unbelievable."
Context helps explain why Dun’s remarks landed where they did. Dun is a member of Twenty One Pilots, and his bandmate Tyler Joseph is already a father of three with his wife, Jenna Black. Debby Ryan had previously given insight into their home birth when confirming their daughter’s arrival, so Dun's comments add color and a touring plan rather than new medical detail.
The tension in the story is practical and personal. Touring musicians have longstanding logistical challenges; adding an infant creates questions about childcare, schedules and health that Dun acknowledged indirectly. He said, "I think, for me, I understood what women go through to give birth, and it's intense," and praised mothers generally: "A lot more respect for all moms out there. I will say that it's no joke." He also praised Ryan directly: "She's crushing it."
How the couple resolves those practical questions is already indicated in Dun’s answers. Rather than announce a rigid arrangement, he described a flexible approach: "It's kind of show-by-show basis," he said, and reiterated that he likes the idea of the child growing accustomed to travel early. He also signaled that Ryan will travel with the tour in at least some stretches, saying she "flew out here yesterday and did great."
The clearest takeaway is a simple one: Debby Ryan delivered at home in December 2025, and the couple intend to bring their daughter, Felix Winter Dun, on the road in a selective, show-by-show way as Josh Dun continues to tour. That plan answers the immediate question the comments raised — parenting and touring will coexist, but on their terms and with a deliberately flexible rhythm.
