Taylor Lautner and Wife Tay Welcome Their First Child

Taylor Lautner and his wife, Tay Lautner, have welcomed their first child, a daughter named Lennon Taylor Lautner. The couple shared the news in a joint social-media post on September 23, one week after Lennon was born on September 16.

The announcement introduced the baby by her full name and affectionate nickname, Lenny. It also turned the couple’s familiar joke about sharing the name Taylor into a new family detail: their daughter now carries Taylor as her middle name.

A family milestone after their spring announcement

The Lautners revealed the pregnancy in late March with photos that included sonogram images. In the months that followed, they also announced that they were expecting a girl and offered occasional glimpses of the pregnancy through their podcast and social accounts.

The actor and the registered nurse, whose maiden name is Dome, married in 2022 after four years together. Their relationship has become closely associated with their shared first name, a coincidence they regularly reference with humor in interviews and online posts.

The couple kept the birth announcement simple. Rather than detailing the delivery, they focused on the first week at home and released one photograph of their newborn. That measured approach gave followers the central news while preserving most of the family’s first days away from public view.

What the name reveals

Lennon’s middle name creates a direct link to both parents. It is a small but personal choice that makes the announcement more distinctive than a conventional celebrity birth reveal. It also continues a running theme that has followed the couple since their engagement and marriage.

For Lautner, best known globally for playing Jacob Black in the Twilight films, the announcement marks a major change outside his screen career. For Tay, it begins a new chapter alongside her work in wellness advocacy and the couple’s shared podcast.

No further information about the baby or the family’s immediate plans was announced. For now, the Lautners’ message centers on the arrival of Lennon and their first week as a family of three.
