Taylor Lautner has announced that he and his wife Taylor Dome Lautner are expecting their first child. Sharing the news in a joint Instagram post, the actor, best known for his role in the Twilight franchise, posted a series of images alongside Tay, who he married in 2022.
Their announcement, shared on Thursday (26.03.26), included photographs of the couple holding a sonogram and posing together outdoors.

The caption read: “What’s better than two Taylor Lautners?” – a possible reference to their shared name. Tay wore a sleeveless white dress, while Taylor coordinated in a white shirt, black trousers and white trainers.
Messages of support followed from friends and former co-stars.
Nikki Reed, who appeared alongside Taylor in the Twilight series, said: “Oh my goodness – heart bursting. I love you guys. I can’t wait to watch your journey as parents unfold… .”
Kellan Lutz added: “Congrats brother! It’s the best!” Mackenzie Foy, 25, said: “Congratulations.”

Taylor and Tay have shared aspects of their relationship publicly since their marriage, often posting updates on social media.
Taylor rose to global fame for his role as Jacob Black in The Twilight Saga, becoming one of the franchise’s most recognisable stars.
Before his breakout, he began as a child actor, appearing in family films such as The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl and developing skills in martial arts, which informed many of his early roles.
Taylor’s performance in Twilight and its sequels established him as a major Hollywood presence, particularly among younger audiences.
He later took on lead roles in projects including Abduction, aiming to transition into action-driven films.
In recent years, Taylor has stepped back from leading roles, instead focusing on selective projects, television appearances and podcasting, while maintaining a strong fan following built during his early career peak.
The success of the Twilight series was built on the popularity of the series with fans of the young adult vampire romance novels on which it was based, with the books blending supernatural themes with teen drama before expanding into a global film series.
