Josh Dun is painting a picture-perfect portrait of new parenthood — crediting Debby Ryan as an 'awesome' mom while staying humble about his own journey. The home birth reveal adds an organic, earth-mother vibe that counters typical celebrity birthing narratives.
The fact that Josh immediately pivoted from the baby talk to discussing touring logistics suggests this family is already adapting to life on the road with an infant. Bandmate Tyler Joseph has three kids — expect Twenty One Pilots to become a traveling nursery.
Baby Felix Winter Dun was born in December 2025, making her approximately five-and-a-half months old at the May 25, 2026 AMAs interview. Josh is 37 years old; Debby gave birth at home in their bedroom.
Josh Dun just gave us the most intimate details of his family life while standing on a red carpet — because when you're a rock star with a newborn, apparently there's no such thing as privacy.
Twenty One Pilots drummer Josh Dun hit the 2026 American Music Awards red carpet at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on May 25, and he came armed with updates about his expanding family — including one detail that definitely wasn't in any hospital birthing plan. In an exclusive joint interview with E! News alongside bandmate Tyler Joseph, Dun revealed that wife Debby Ryan gave birth to their daughter Felix Winter Dun in the couple's bedroom.
"My wife is awesome," Josh, 37, told reporters at the May 25 event. "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." The drummer seemed genuinely awestruck by the entire experience, admitting that watching life come into the world was "amazing" and "magical." But Josh didn't sugarcoat the reality either — especially when it came to his newfound respect for mothers everywhere. "I think, for me, I understood what women go through to give birth, and it's intense," he confessed.
"A lot more respect for all moms out there. I will say that it's no joke." That's a refreshingly honest admission from a rock musician who, just months ago, was probably more accustomed to counting drum beats than contractions. As for how Debby — the actress best known for her run on Disney Channel's Jessie — is handling motherhood?
Josh had nothing but praise. "She's crushing it," he emphasized without hesitation. The couple welcomed Felix in December 2025, making their baby girl roughly five-and-a-half months old by the time Dad took the stage at the AMAs with Twenty One Pilots.
Now comes the interesting part: life on tour. Josh revealed that bringing baby Felix along for the ride is already happening, though they're taking it "show-by-show basis." He added that he likes "the idea of her traveling young and getting used to travel, getting used to seeing new places." For context, Tyler Joseph — who joined Josh for this interview — is already a dad of three with wife Jenna Black, so Twenty One Pilots may soon be the most family-friendly tour bus in rock.
