Debby Ryan wasn't the first young, unconventional nanny who dove headfirst into looking after a group of kids and she certainly won't be the last. Nineties sitcom stars like The Nanny's Fran Drescher and Country Comfort's Katharine McPhee bookend the series but Disney Channel's Jessie was an introduction to the trope for many '00s kids. 

We're catching up with the Jessie crew to see what they're up to, now that they're all grown up.

Debby Ryan is still working as an actress, most recently starring alongside Dakota Fanning and Jake Johnson

Debby Ryan

Debby Ryan is a familiar face for those who grew up in the 2000s and 2010s, with iconic roles in Disney Channel's Radio Rebel, a two season-run in Netflix's Insatiable and a recurring role in The Suite Life on Deck. Simply put, Debby defined her era on Disney. 

The actress is still a regular onscreen, with roles in the 2024 John Green adaptation Turtles All the Way Down, sci-fi thriller Orion and 2026 drama The Sun Never Sets alongside Dakota Fanning and Jake Johnson. She is married to Twenty One Pilots drummer Josh Dun and they share baby Felix Winter who arrived in 2025.

Peyton List has found continued success onscreen in further teen-targeted series

Peyton List

Peyton List brought the eldest daughter of the Jessie family to life and Emma Ross appeared across the Disney-verse in Austin & Ally, K.C. Undercover and Bunk'd. 

Following her days on Jessie, Peyton has continued to act onscreen with roles on Netflix's Cobra Kai and Paramount+ fantasy teen series School Spirits. She is currently dating her Cobra Kai co-star Jacob Bertrand, announcing their relationship in 2022.

Cameron Boyce was well-known for his roles on Descendants and Jessie

Cameron Boyce

Cameron Boyce was a beloved star of Jessie and worked alongside fellow Disney Channel kid Dove Cameron in the Descendants trilogy, which followed the sons and daughters of famous Disney villains through fantasy adventures and teen dramas.

Cameron previously dated his Descendants co-star Brenna D'Amico. The actor tragically passed away in 2019 at just 20 years old, following a seizure which resulted from an ongoing medical condition Cameron was being treated for.

Skai Jackson starred as the rambunctious Zuri Ross in Jessie

Skai Jackson

Skai Jackson's Zuri Ross was the energetic youngest child of the Jessie family and joined several of her cast mates on Bunk'd between 2015 and 2018. Since then, she's voice acted on several Dragons TV shows as Summer and recently appeared on three episodes of Black Mafia Family.

She previously dated rapper Yerkky Yerkky, aka Deondre Burgin, and revealed they were expecting their first child in November 2024. By January 2025, their son Kasai had arrived.

Karan Brar's Ravi was well-loved as the voice of reason on Jessie

Karan Brar

Karan Brar starred in Jessie as the shy, nerdy Ravi, owner of the well-loved water monitor lizard Mr Kipling. Like several of his Jessie co-stars, Karan joined their camping adventures on Bunk'd but got his start in 2010's Diary of a Wimpy Kid, joined by Peyton in its two sequels.

He's since had credits on several animated children's shows like Mira, Royal Detective, Cleopatra in Space and Hailey's On It!. He most recently appeared in light-hearted horror Queens of the Dead. He made headlines with fellow Disney star Josie Totah in 2025 with a PDA-heavy TikTok but they later clarified it was a joke and the actor hasn't revealed any other details on his romantic life.

Kevin Chamberlin continues to work (unlike his onscreen character) and is enjoying married life with husband Michael

Kevin Chamberlin

The Die Hard: With a Vengeance actor grumpily got involved with the kids' hijinks as the family butler throughout Jessie around his efforts to do as little work as possible. Since he hung up his feather duster, Kevin has appeared in Grace and Frankie, The Prom and 2025 series Duster. 

Kevin met American producer, writer and actor Michael Gans in 1991, and they married 17 years later, saying 'I do' in 2008. He recently met up with three of his Jessie co-stars captioning a selfie: "It feels like a party every day with @debbyryan @karanbrar @peytonlist".
