Taylor Lautner and Wife Tay Announce First Baby After Four Years of Marriage
Twilight actor Taylor Lautner and his wife, also named Taylor, have joyfully announced they are expecting their first child together. The couple, who have been married for four years, shared the exciting news with their combined 12 million Instagram followers on Friday, posting a series of heartwarming images that quickly went viral.
Social Media Announcement and Celebrity Reactions
The announcement featured beautiful photos of the couple frolicking in a field, with Taylor kissing Tay's growing baby bump as she held up ultrasound photos. The caption playfully read, "What's better than two Taylor Lautners?" prompting an outpouring of congratulations from fans and fellow celebrities alike.
Among those celebrating were Twilight co-star Nikki Reed, who played Rosalie, who commented, "Oh my goodness?❤️ heart bursting. I love you guys. I can't wait to watch your journey as parents unfold." Singer Natasha Perry added, "The best news ever ever ever! I'm smiling so big my cheeks hurt," while E! News host Erin Lim Rhodes exclaimed, "YEZZZ!!! CONGRATS TAY AND TAY!!! Can't wait to meet baby Tay!"
Relationship Background and Recent Projects
The couple's journey to parenthood follows their wedding on November 11, 2022, at Epoch Estate Wines in California, exactly one year after their engagement. They first met in 2018 after being introduced by Taylor's sister, Makena Moore. Since tying the knot, they have launched a podcast called The Squeeze, where they discuss mental health and wellbeing topics, blending their professional and personal lives.
In a December 2024 interview with People, the pair opened up about the challenges of working together, noting they've had to establish boundaries to "when to stop talking about work" to maintain a healthy balance between their careers and downtime.
Humorous Challenges of Sharing a Name
With both sharing the name Taylor Lautner after Tay changed her surname from Dome, the couple has faced some amusing logistical hurdles. Taylor humorously recounted on the Good Guys podcast how packages and travel have become tricky, saying, "Packages are becoming tough. We need to figure something out because when I'm buying stuff for her and she's buying stuff for me, we're going to have some surprised spoiled if we open the wrong Taylor Lautner package."
He added that during TSA checks, agents often question, "Which one of you is Taylor Lautner?" to which they respond, "Both of us," leading to confused and skeptical reactions. Despite these minor inconveniences, the couple continues to embrace their unique bond as they eagerly anticipate the arrival of their first child.
