The musician and the "Crazy Rich Asians" star never announced they were expecting a child. Plus, the pair have remained quiet about their relationship status, so it's hard to say if they are still a couple.

Speaking about the experience, Ryan said, "So I was like, oh, maybe this isn't a healthy way to live. So 'Shameless' came out of that; I'm very happy with that song."
