Taylor Lautner’s Wife Tay Lautner Is Pregnant, Expecting First Baby Together
Hold on tight, spider monkey—because Taylor Lautner is about to become a dad.
The Twilight alum announced his wife Tay Lautner‘s pregnancy on March 26, sharing photos of the couple posing with a sonogram of their baby on the way.
As a nod to the parents-to-be’s similar names, he wrote on Instagram, “What’s better than two Taylor Lautners?”
Indeed, Tay (born Taylor Dome) took on her husband’s last name when they married in 2023 after five years of dating, legally making her another Taylor Lautner.
But for the pair, who were first introduced by Taylor’s younger sister Makena Moore during a game night in 2018, having multiple people with the same moniker under one roof isn’t as complicated as it seems.
“A lot of people just do ‘boy Tay’ and ‘girl Tay,'” Taylor explained during a 2022 appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show. “Either Taylor and Tay—or boy Tay, girl Tay—works.”
In fact, they even had some fun with Taylor’s former girlfriend Taylor Swift, referring to the singer as “blonde girl Tay” when she enlisted the actor for her “I Can See You” music video in 2023.
Kevin Winter/Getty Images“I know on paper, it sounds like a tough situation, but I not once was ever worried about it,” he said of having Tay meet his ex on an episode of The Squeeze at the time. “We’re just confident in our relationship. [My wife] is the coolest, chillest person ever. She also is a diehard fan of that person.”
But doesn’t mean Tay is Team Jacob when it comes to the Twilight saga. After all, the podcaster had a childhood crush on Robert Pattinson, who played her husband’s onscreen rival Edward, which made it all the more serendipitous when Tay had a near-encounter with his former costar on a plane ride.
“She was visiting me on the set of a TV show I did called Cuckoo in London,” Taylor told E! News in 2022. “When she got to me, she was like, ‘You’ll never guess who I was sitting next to on the plane.'”
And just like his Twilight character, Taylor has always wanted to imprint on someone special.
“I absolutely love kids,” he told Entertainment Tonight in 2016. ” I love family. So, one day, I very much look forward to that.”

Taylor Lautner and Tay Lautner (née Taylor Dome) first went Instagram official with their relationship on Halloween, with the Twilight star sharing a photo of the couple in costume as members of the Tune Squad from Space Jam.
Taylor met the registered nurse through his sister Makena Moore, who called him and said, “‘Dude, I found your future wife. You need to meet this girl,'” the Scream Queens alum recalled to People. “And the rest is history.”
And during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show last year, Taylor went into further detail about the role his sibling played in setting the lovebirds up.
“I love game nights,” Taylor explained. “She’s like, ‘Throw a game night, invite me and some of my friends over, and I’ll bring Tay. She’ll just be one of them, and you guys can just meet.’ We hit it off.”

The Valentine’s Day actor shared the happy news that the couple was engaged on Instagram, writing in his caption, “And just like that, all of my wishes came true.”
Along with his announcement, Taylor shared behind-the-scenes photos of the moment he proposed. In one image, Tay looked emotional with her hands placed over her mouth while Taylor was down on one knee. The other picture captured an intimate moment between the two, which showed Tay wrapping her hands around Taylor’s face.
“My absolute best friend,” Tay wrote on her Instagram. “I CANNOT WAIT TO SPEND FOREVER WITH YOU.”
During his interview on The Kelly Clarkson Show the following year, Taylor confirmed that his fiancée would be taking his last name. “We already share one name,” he told Kelly Clarkson. “We’re literally going to be the same person.”

Taking part in the social media challenge “show your childhood crush and the person you ended up with,” Tay made a loca confession about her Twilight allegiance in the infamous Edward vs. Jacob debate.
Her Instagram clip showed two snaps of Robert Pattinson as the brooding Cullen vampire before changing to a photo of Taylor as his werewolf character. Tay’s caption read, “I think it’s time to come clean.” Taylor commented, “‘Bout time I won something.”
Alas, Tay has yet to meet Rob, even though Taylor revealed to E! News that she once had the chance to when she sat next to him on a transatlantic flight but “didn’t say hi.”
“She was visiting me on the set of a TV show I did called Cuckoo in London,” Taylor recalled. “When she got to me, she was like, ‘You’ll never guess who I was sitting next to on the plane.'” Tay didn’t end up approaching The Batman star, though Taylor said he “would’ve loved” the serendipitous encounter.
For her part, Tay explained E! News that she didn’t talk to Rob because it would’ve sounded “so weird” to introduce herself as “Taylor’s girlfriend that no one knows yet.”

Ahead of their nuptials, Taylor enjoyed a bachelor party in Miami, Fla., with guests including former E! host Jason Kennedy and Spritz Society founder Ben Soffer.
The festivities included jet skiing, dining at the Japanese-inspired steakhouse Gekko and sitting court side at a Miami Heat basketball game—which added up to “the most incredible weekend I could have imagined,” Taylor wrote in an Oct. 25 Instagram Story.
Earlier that month, Tay had her own time to shine courtesy of a floral-themed bridal shower. In an Instagram post, Tay shared several photos from the special day with the sweet caption, “I can’t wait to marry you @taylorlautner”
The snaps caught the attention of her then-husband-to-be who left cheeky comment, “911: what is your emergency Me: my fiancé just posted [fire emoji] pics.”

“I felt like I was in a fairytale,” Tay told Vogue of their wedding day. “Everything was so beautiful—I was absolutely blown away. I remember looking around during the ceremony and just being in awe of everything.”
She continued, “As we exchanged rings, I just kept thinking, ‘Oh my gosh, I can’t believe we are actually doing this!’ We have dreamt of this day for so long, and it was so beyond perfect.”
