Twilight star Taylor Lautner and his wife, Tay Lautner, are celebrating a monumental new chapter in their lives: the arrival of their first child. The couple joyfully announced the birth of their baby girl, Lennon Taylor Lautner, who was born on September 16, 2026, and shared the happy news with fans.
A Sweet Introduction on Social Media
The proud parents took to Instagram with a joint post to introduce their daughter to the world, offering the first glimpse of the newest member of the Lautner family. The adorable image featured baby Lennon in a soft beige onesie, accompanied by a charming embroidered hoop. This personalized detail showcased a teddy bear holding a pink balloon, with "Lennon Taylor" stitched underneath, adding a heartfelt touch to their announcement.
Alongside the sweet photograph, Taylor and Tay shared a loving caption, revealing their daughter's full name and birth date: "One week loving our sweet little Lenny. Lennon Taylor Lautner, 9.16.2026."
A Nod to Family with Lennon Taylor
The choice of "Lennon Taylor" for their daughter's name holds a special significance within the Lautner household. Earlier, during an appearance on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, Tay Lautner had hinted that her husband's name was "in the mix" for their future child's moniker. This decision further solidifies the couple's distinctive naming convention, as both Taylor and Tay share the same full name, Taylor Lautner, a fact that has led friends to affectionately refer to them as "Boy Tay" and "Girl Tay" to differentiate between them.
The Path to Becoming Parents
The journey to welcoming baby Lennon began for the Lautners with their pregnancy announcement in April, shared via an endearing photo of the couple holding a sonogram. They humorously captioned the post, asking, "What's better than two Taylor Lautners?" A few months later, in June, they revealed they were expecting a girl through an emotional Instagram Reel, much to the delight of their followers. Taylor Lautner had previously expressed his deep desire to become a father, sharing on Instagram Stories that his "dream has always been to become a girl dad."
Background on the Couple
Taylor Lautner's road to fatherhood and marriage began when his sister, Makena Moore, introduced him to Tay. The couple made their relationship public in 2018 and later became engaged in 2021. Their wedding took place in November 2022, officially uniting them as Taylor and Taylor Lautner, a unique bond now further celebrated with the arrival of their daughter, Lennon Taylor Lautner.
