Taylor Lautner & Wife Tay Lautner Welcome First Baby—Find Out Her Name

Taylor Lautner’s Wife Tay Lautner Is Pregnant, Expecting First Baby Together

This home team has officially expanded.

Taylor Lautner and Tay Lautner announced they welcomed their first baby on Sept. 23, sharing the news via social media—and her name adorably pays tribute to her parents' matching monikers.

"One week loving our sweet little Lenny," they wrote in a joint Instagram post, before revealing that their daughter's full name is Lennon Taylor Lautner. "9.16.2026."

And that's not all the Lautners shared of their new addition. Alongside the sweet caption, the couple also posted a snap of the newborn, whose tiny fingers poked out of a baby pink onesie as she laid on a matching blanket. To top off the cuteness, a tiny placard was placed next to the tiny tot that had a brown teddy bear and her name sewn into it.

Taylor and Tay, who wed in 2022 after four years of dating, had shared news of the pregnancy in late March with sweet photos featuring sonograms of their upcoming arrival.

Nodding to their shared name, the Twilight star wrote at the time, “What’s better than two Taylor Lautners?"

Throughout her pregnancy, Tay shared glimpses of her journey to motherhood, even dancing to a lyric from her husband’s ex Taylor Swift’s song “Wi$h Li$t” that said, “Have a couple kids, got the whole block lookin' like you.”

In the cheeky video posted April 20, she teased the possibility of expanding the Lautner brood, writing in the caption, “I’ll take 10 of you @taylorlautner.”

To which Taylor quipped, “Let’s start with 1 and go from there?”

The pair first met through Makena Moore, the sister of the Valentine’s Day actor, who threw a game night to facilitate their meet-cute.

"She called me and said, 'Dude, I found your future wife. You need to meet this girl,'" Taylor previously told People in January 2022. "And the rest is history."

He had been taking a break from acting at the time, which gave him the opportunity to get to know the future mother of his child.

"I wanted to take a step back and enjoy life and spend some time with my family and friends," he continued. "And I met my [then] fiancée out of it, so it all worked out.”

Indeed it worked out well, as Tay shared in her anniversary post in January 2023, "He supports me to be free and live out my wildest dreams while loving me so so well. Beyond thankful for you."

And way before they even met, the Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl alum had expressed his desire to have kids someday.

“I absolutely love kids, I love family,” he told Entertainment Tonight in 2016. "So, one day, I very much look forward to that."

Now that the day has arrived, read on to take a look back at the love story between the two…

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."

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."

"When life gives you lemons, what do you do with them?" the show's description reads. "We talk about it—'it' being our mental health and well being."

In addition to discussing their own personal struggles and journeys, the couple will welcome celebrity and expert guests to engage in conversations surrounding mental wellness.

"At the end of the day, we're all pretty similar; even those living in the lime-est of lights can be weighed down by sour lemons," The Squeeze's official site explains. "In addition to sharing coping strategies and stories, we hope that above all, this podcast offers the comfort of knowing you are not alone."
