Actor Taylor Lautner and his wife, Taylor Lautner, have announced they are expecting their first child together. The couple shared the news in a playful joint Instagram post on Thursday, joking, “What’s better than two Taylor Lautners?” — a nod to the fact that they share the same name.
The post featured a series of photos showing Lautner kissing his wife’s baby bump while she held ultrasound images. Other photos showed the couple smiling together as they celebrated the upcoming addition to their family.
Friends and fans quickly flooded the comments with congratulations. Lautner’s former “Twilight” co-star Nikki Reed wrote that her “heart [was] bursting,” adding that she couldn’t wait to watch their journey into parenthood. Internet personality Jaclyn Hill also shared her excitement, writing that she looked forward to spoiling the baby.
Lautner married his wife, a registered nurse who often goes by “Tay,” in November 2022 after the pair made their relationship public in 2018.
The actor previously dated singer Taylor Swift briefly in 2009. In 2023, Lautner joked about the coincidence of sharing the same name with both his wife and his ex-girlfriend when he posted a photo of the three Taylors pointing at each other in the style of the popular Spider-Man meme after Swift invited him on stage during her “Eras” tour.
With their playful announcement hinting at a possible third Taylor joining the family, fans are already speculating about what the couple might name their baby.
