The glittering world of Hollywood is notorious for its fleeting romances, but one couple continues to defy the odds. Disney Channel alumna Debby Ryan and Twenty One Pilots percussionist Josh Dun have not only built a lasting marriage but have done so with a significant age difference that often raises eyebrows.
Ryan, who captured hearts as Bailey Pickett on The Suite Life on Deck, is actually two years younger than her rockstar husband, contrary to popular belief. Born in 1993, the actress is now 31, while Dun, born in 1988, is 36. Their paths first crossed back in 2013, and the connection was instant.
From Secret Dates to a Fairytale Proposal
The pair masterfully kept their budding romance under wraps for months, a rarity in Tinseltown. Their love story culminated in a breathtaking engagement in December 2018. Dun proposed on a picturesque cliffside, a moment the musician later described as the most nerve-wracking performance of his life.
They sealed their commitment with an intimate wedding ceremony just a year later, in December 2019, choosing to celebrate their union away from the glaring spotlight.
A Decade of Defying Expectations
Now celebrating nearly ten years together and five years of marriage, their relationship stands as a testament to enduring love in an industry known for its turbulence. They frequently use their platform to showcase their supportive partnership, often sharing affectionate tributes and behind-the-scenes glimpses of their life together on social media.
Their story proves that sometimes, the most unexpected connections—whether in age or career background—can forge the strongest bonds, creating a modern Hollywood fairytale that continues to inspire fans across the globe.
