Taylor Lautner (Michigan, 34 years old), the actor, and his wife, also named Taylor Lautner, have announced that they are expecting their first child together. The couple, who married in November 2022, has published a carousel of photos together, showing some images of the baby’s ultrasounds. “What’s better than two Taylor Lautners?” writes the actor The Adventures of Sharkoy and Lavagirlin the photo in which he leans down to kiss his wife’s belly on his profile, where he has more than 11 million followers.
The couple met thanks to Makena Moore, the actor’s younger sister, who shared the Taylors’ publication on a stories on Instagram where it says: “Your aunt can’t wait to meet you! I love you guys so much.” In 2018, they made their relationship public and, two years later, Lautner proposed to his wife in 2021. The interpreter’s wife’s maiden name was Taylor Dome until she got married and decided to take her husband’s last name, as is common in the United States. In 2022, the actor explained that, in order not to get confused, they agreed that they would call him Taylor and her Tay. “A lot of people just say ‘Tay boy’ and ‘Tay girl’,” Lautner explained during an appearance in 2022. “Both Taylor and Tay, or Tay boy and Tay girl, work,” he explained about how they differentiate them.
Tay Lautner, like many young people her age, was a fan of . But unfortunately for Taylor Lautner, his wife was team Edward —the team of her current husband’s rival in the movies, the vampire played by Robert Pattinson—. “I was too young for Jacob’s abs,” Tay, 28, said in a recent interview with . She grew up as an ordinary teenager far from fame, so when she found herself on the plane in 2022, she couldn’t help but feel dazzled. Almost 18 years after the premiere of the first film in which Lautner and Pattinson star alongside Kristen Stewart, the debate is still alive. In fact, on March 25, Pattinson said in an interview in Canal+ that “no one is team Jacob”. “That was just a strategy of marketing”he joked.
In the recent interview with CosmopolitanTay opened up about the difficulties of being married to a celebrity. “It’s funny that I try to differentiate myself from Taylor Lautner’s wife, although I am also Taylor Lautner,” says the nurse, who resigned from her profession after suffering severe post-traumatic stress, depression and anxiety caring for patients during the pandemic. “I want people to see me as I am and not just as the wife. Sometimes it’s difficult when you know that people’s intention is not to know you; they don’t want to really know me or participate in the podcast for me,” he says about The Squeeze, the program she directs with her husband.
The actor is ready to be a father and at the same time return to Hollywood with the series Taylor Lautner: Werewolf Hunter, the fictional program where, playing himself, he will face the greatest irony: fighting the same creatures that made him famous: werewolves. “When I met Tay, I thought, ‘I just want to be home with her, our dogs, our friends and our family, and make memories outside of a set.’ When I finally felt comfortable with that, I felt safe enough to return to the industry. Now I have my priorities clear: if I do a project and it doesn’t turn out the way I expected, I will still come home to my family, who will always be there,” he says in the conversation with Cosmopolitan.
