Debby Ryan and Josh Dun welcome first baby girl. ‘We were ready to become three’

Ryan Brennan | December 15, 2025

Debby Ryan is officially in her mom era. 

The 32-year-old former Disney star, best known for her role as Bailey Pickett in “The Suite Life on Deck” and the titular character in “Jessie,” took to Instagram on Dec. 13 to announce the birth of her first child.

In the caption, she revealed that she gave birth to a baby girl named Felix Winter Dun via a home birth. 

"We sat under the full moon — the cold supermoon — reminiscing on our life as a family of two, and told the child I was harboring that we were ready to become three,” she wrote in the caption.

“By midday, Felix was born under christmas lights with snow outside our bedroom window, right into her father’s hands,” she said of her husband — the drummer for the musical duo Twenty One Pilots.

Debby Ryan’s baby announcement comes three months after she announced her pregnancy and five years after the couple tied the knot. 

In her recent post, the “Radio Rebel” actress described Dun as an “incredible teammate” and shouted out her birth team for their support. 

“I’ve been a lot of things but her home, a grow light, a portal to bring a new soul into the world — these are my greatest honors. Welcome to earth lil moonbeam. Love you forever,” she concluded. 

Debby Ryan’s husband also shared a sweet message about their baby girl on Instagram. 

“There is not a single thing I’d ever change about her, except her diaper. She can do truly whatever she wants in life, but I’ve got some extra drumsticks and practice pads ready just in case,” he wrote.

Debby Ryan chose a unique winter name for her winter baby

In the caption of her post, Ryan described her newborn baby girl in more detail. 

Her hair is made of silk and her breath smells like vanilla ice cream and every chirp, squeak and whimper is music and everytime I look away and look back, she’s gotten smaller somehow,” she wrote of Felix. 

“I know too soon, I’ll look away and look back and she’ll be bigger and bigger still so for now I’d like to spend my days trapped under the immovable 8 pounds of Felix Winter Dun,” she added.

The name Felix Winter is about as unique as it gets for a winter baby girl. 

The name Felix comes directly from the Latin word felix, meaning “happy” or “lucky,” and comes from the same root origin as the Spanish word feliz, as in Feliz Navidad — a phrase that means “Merry Christmas.” 

Combining Felix with Winter makes it perfect for a winter-inspired or Christmas-themed baby name

And it’s not the type of name you’ll see often. 

According to the Social Security Administration, Felix was given to 2,081 baby boys in the U.S. in 2024 (making it the 177th most popular boy’s name), but was only given to 10 baby girls. 

Meanwhile, the name Winter (as a first name) was given to 816 baby girls and 60 baby boys.

Josh Dun and Debby Ryan went on their first date in 2013 and made their relationship Instagram official later that year before announcing their engagement in December 2018, according to People.
