What\'s Better Than Two Taylor Lautners? Three! The \'Twilight\' Star Announces Wife\'s Pregnancy

The world of Twilight nostalgia just gained a brand-new, adorable addition. Actor Taylor Lautner, who famously captured the hearts of millions as the passionate shape-shifter Jacob Black, has officially announced that he and his wife, Tay Dome Lautner, are expecting their first child together.

The couple, who have become internet favorites for their relatable relationship and identical names, shared the joyous news with their millions of followers in late March 2026. Taking to Instagram, the pair posted a series of stunning photographs from a recent pregnancy shoot, instantly sending fans into a heartwarming frenzy.

"What's Better Than Two Taylor Lautners?"

In a joint Instagram post that perfectly encapsulated their playful dynamic, the couple shared images of themselves posing in a sun-drenched, blooming field. The carousel featured Lautner tenderly leaning down to kiss his wife’s growing baby bump, as well as shots of them proudly holding up a series of sonogram images.

"What's better than two Taylor Lautners?" they cheekily captioned the post, letting the pictures speak for themselves.

The announcement was immediately met with an outpouring of love from fans, friends, and former co-stars. Notably, Nikki Reed, who played vampire Rosalie Hale in the Twilight saga, took to the comments section to share her excitement. "Oh my goodness... heart bursting," Reed wrote. "I love you guys. I can't wait to watch your journey as parents unfold…" Internet personality Jaclyn Hill also chimed in, adding, "I can't wait to spoil this baby."

A Romance Built on Normalcy

While Lautner was once the highest-paid teenage actor in Hollywood, his relationship with Tay Dome has been characterized by a refreshing sense of normalcy. Tay, a registered nurse who worked grueling 12-hour shifts during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, met the actor during his self-imposed hiatus from the entertainment industry.

The two were introduced by Lautner’s sister, Makena Moore, in 2018. At the time, Lautner was looking to step back from the intense spotlight that had followed him since his teenage years to focus on family, friends, and finding himself outside of the industry. "I met my fiancée out of it, so it all worked out," Lautner told PEOPLE in a previous interview.

The couple tied the knot on November 11, 2022, in a picturesque ceremony at Epoch Estate Wines in California's wine country. Since then, they have built a life centered around their shared passions, including their love for travel, their two rescue dogs Remi and Lily, and their mental health advocacy.

The Squeeze and Mental Health Advocacy

In recent years, the Lautners have made waves not on the silver screen, but in the podcasting space. Together, they host The Squeeze, a podcast dedicated to discussing mental health, wellness, and the realities of navigating life’s challenges. Tay has used the platform to distinguish herself as more than just a celebrity spouse, bringing her medical background and empathetic nature to the forefront.

Earlier in March, Tay even utilized their podcast to discuss the sensitive topics of pregnancy and infertility with a guest, showcasing her commitment to using their platform to support others going through similar journeys. Their openness has cultivated a dedicated community of listeners who appreciate their authenticity.

The Twilight Baby Boom

Lautner’s impending fatherhood marks another milestone in what fans have jokingly dubbed the "Twilight Baby Boom." It has been nearly two decades since the first film hit theaters in 2008, and the cast has firmly transitioned from teenage idols to navigating adulthood and parenthood.

Lautner joins a growing list of his former castmates who have welcomed children in recent years. Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen), Ashley Greene (Alice Cullen), Nikki Reed (Rosalie Hale), Kellan Lutz (Emmett Cullen), and Jackson Rathbone (Jasper Hale) have all embraced parenthood, trading in their vampire contacts and werewolf lore for diaper changes and school runs.

As the Lautners prepare to welcome their little one, fans of the iconic franchise are undoubtedly thrilled to see another member of the Cullen/Black cinematic family find happiness. While details about the baby's due date and gender remain under wraps, one thing is certain: this new chapter is poised to be their most exciting adventure YET.
