Taylor Lautner And Wife Tay Welcome First Baby, Reveal Her Sweet Name

Taylor Lautner Welcomes First Baby

Taylor Lautner and his wife, Tay Lautner, are officially parents. The couple announced on Sept. 23 that they welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Lennon Taylor Lautner. The announcement came one week after their daughter was born, with the couple sharing the news and the first glimpse of their newborn daughter on social media.

“One week loving our sweet little Lenny,” the couple wrote in a joint Instagram post, revealing that their daughter was born on Sept. 16, 2026. The couple also shared their daughter’s full name, Lennon Taylor Lautner, along with her nickname, Lenny. Her middle name is particularly fitting given the couple’s own names. Both Taylor Lautner and his wife are named Taylor, although Tay is commonly known by her nickname.

The announcement included a sweet photograph of baby Lennon resting in a baby pink onesie on a matching blanket. Her tiny fingers could be seen poking out of the outfit as she lay comfortably surrounded by soft pink details. A small personalized sign was placed beside the newborn, featuring her name alongside a brown teddy bear and other baby-themed details. The intimate photo gave fans their first look at the couple’s daughter while keeping the focus on the family’s special moment.

Who Is Taylor Lautner?

Taylor Lautner is an American actor best known for playing Jacob Black in the hugely successful “Twilight” film franchise. Lautner rose to international fame through the five “Twilight” movies, which were released between 2008 and 2012. Based on Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling novels, the franchise followed the complicated relationship between Bella Swan, Edward Cullen and Jacob Black.

As Jacob, Lautner became one of the franchise’s most recognizable stars and gained a massive fan following during the height of “Twilight” mania. Before “Twilight,” Lautner had already worked as a child actor and appeared in television shows and films. He also provided a voice for animated projects and took on other major acting roles, including a part in the 2011 action film “Abduction.” Following his “Twilight” years, Lautner continued acting while also becoming more selective about his public life. In recent years, he has appeared in television projects and has focused on his personal life and wellness.

Who Is Tay Lautner?

Tay Lautner, formerly Tay Dome, is a nurse, mental health advocate, social media personality and entrepreneur. She has built an online following by sharing portions of her life, including her relationship with Taylor, wellness and mental health content. Tay has also spoken publicly about mental health and has used her platform to encourage conversations surrounding emotional well-being.

Tay and Taylor’s relationship has also been a significant part of their public presence. The two began dating in 2018 after being introduced through Taylor’s sister. The couple became engaged in November 2021. Taylor proposed to Tay at a setting decorated with candles, flowers and photographs from their relationship. They later married in November 2022 in California, beginning their married life together before eventually announcing that they were preparing to become parents.

The Couple’s Journey To Parenthood

They celebrated the announcement with a playful reference to their matching names, writing, “What’s better than two Taylor Lautners?”

The pregnancy announcement quickly attracted attention from fans who had followed the couple’s relationship since their early days together. Several months later, the couple revealed that they were expecting a baby girl. Taylor and Tay continued sharing occasional glimpses of their pregnancy journey before welcoming their daughter in September. Now, the couple has officially entered a new chapter as a family of three.

Meet Lennon Taylor Lautner

The birth announcement appears to mark the couple’s first public introduction of their daughter. By choosing the name Lennon Taylor Lautner, the couple gave their daughter a name that is both distinctive and connected to her family. The nickname “Lenny” also gives the name a more playful and personal touch.

For now, Taylor and Tay appear to be enjoying their first days as parents and sharing only a small glimpse of their new life with fans. After years of Taylor Lautner being known around the world for his role as Jacob Black, his latest major life milestone has nothing to do with Hollywood. He is now a father, and the couple is celebrating the arrival of their daughter, Lennon Taylor Lautner.
