On Sunday, September 1, 2025, the 32-year-old actress took to Instagram to share the happy news with fans. The post featured a carousel of intimate photos highlighting her growing baby bump.
Other pictures showed Josh holding a tiny pair of baby shoes, as well as a close-up of a sonogram image—capturing the couple’s excitement for their new arrival.
Ryan kept her caption short and sweet, writing: “Dun dun + one.”
The clever wordplay not only announced their pregnancy but also paid homage to Josh’s last name, making fans gush in the comments section.
Debby and Josh’s Love Story
Debby Ryan and Josh Dun’s relationship has long captured the hearts of fans. The couple married in Austin, Texas, in December 2019 after dating on and off for several years.
Although they initially kept their wedding private, they later shared exclusive details with Vogue magazine, including romantic photos and behind-the-scenes moments.
For her wedding ceremony, Ryan wore a stunning Elie Saab gown featuring an off-the-shoulder neckline, a voluminous skirt, and an elegant train. Later, she swapped the gown for a sleek silk slip dress by Are You Am I, perfect for dancing the night away.
Josh described the day as unforgettable, telling Vogue: “The ceremony was the perfect balance. I felt like it was game night at our house, and this was the ultimate game—and boy, did I win!”
Josh Dun on Their Marriage
Josh has been candid about how marriage with Ryan has defied his childhood expectations. In a 2022 interview with Kenny Sipes, he reflected on how their relationship feels playful and youthful, despite their adult responsibilities.
“I always tried to envision what marriage would look like from when I was a kid, and it never really looked quite like this,” Josh admitted. “Debby and I are just kids. We live in an adult house and decorate it like kids and do kid stuff in it. We couldn’t sleep the other night so we just hung out in the kitchen and jumped around and ate snacks.”
His reflections highlighted the couple’s ability to balance fun and romance while building a strong foundation for their future family.
A Proposal Straight Out of a Fairytale
Josh proposed to Debby during a trip to New Zealand in December 2018. Ryan later shared the news on Instagram with the caption: “I said yes! Well technically I said ‘NO WAY’ twice but I meant yes.”
The proposal set the stage for a whirlwind romance that culminated in their intimate Texas wedding—and now, their exciting journey into parenthood.
Fans React
Within hours of Debby’s Instagram post, fans and fellow celebrities flooded the comments section with congratulations. Many praised the actress for her sweet and playful announcement, while others reflected on how surreal it feels to see a childhood Disney star entering motherhood.
The news also sparked excitement among Twenty One Pilots fans, who have closely followed Josh’s personal and professional journey alongside bandmate Tyler Joseph.
