Taylor Lautner and his wife, Tay Lautner, have welcomed their first child, a daughter named Lennon Taylor Lautner.
The baby girl arrived on September 16, the couple confirmed in a joint social media announcement one week later. Tay Lautner, 27, shared the news on Instagram with a tender photo of the newborn resting on a muslin cloth beside an embroidered sign reading “Lennon Taylor.”
“One week loving our sweet little Lenny,” she wrote in the post.
The name carries deliberate weight for the family. While the couple shares the first name Taylor — he is Taylor Daniel Lautner, 33, and she is Taylor “Tay” Dome Lautner — they stopped short of making it their daughter’s given name. Instead, they placed Taylor in the middle position, giving the infant a distinct first name while preserving the family thread.
The Lautners revealed their pregnancy in May with a coordinated Instagram reveal. “What’s better than two Taylor Lautners? Three,” the actor captioned his post at the time, referencing the couple’s matched names. They later disclosed they were expecting a girl.
The pair married in November 2022 at Epoch Estate Wines in California, eight months after announcing their engagement. Their courtship began in 2018, and they went public with their relationship on Instagram in 2021. Tay, a registered nurse turned social media personality, has documented their relationship and family milestones across her platforms.
Taylor Lautner rose to global fame as Jacob Black in the “Twilight” saga, appearing in all five films of the blockbuster franchise. Since the series concluded in 2012, he has taken selective acting roles while maintaining a lower public profile than some of his co-stars. The birth marks his transition into fatherhood more than a decade after the peak of his teen-heartthrob era.
The couple’s naming choice places Lennon Taylor Lautner in a small celebrity cohort of children whose names honor parents without direct duplication. The “Lenny” nickname Tay used in her announcement suggests the family intends a casual, approachable tone for the infant’s daily life despite the formal register of her full name.
Fans responded warmly to the reveal across social platforms, with many noting the circularity of three related Taylors in one household. The actor has not yet posted separately about his daughter’s arrival, leaving the initial announcement to his wife’s account.
The Lautners have been open about their desire to start a family since their wedding. In interviews during her pregnancy, Tay discussed adjusting to public attention and the couple’s efforts to maintain boundaries around their personal life. The arrival of Lennon Taylor represents the culmination of that long-stated goal.
The September birth date places the child under the Virgo zodiac sign, a detail several fan accounts noted in commentary on the announcement. The embroidered sign in Tay’s photo appeared professionally made, suggesting advance preparation for the reveal.
Neither Lautner has announced plans for additional time away from professional commitments. Tay has continued posting lifestyle and wellness content through her third trimester, and her husband has several projects in various stages of development. The couple resides in California.
