Twilight Stars Can’t Stop Gushing Over Taylor Lautner’s Baby News
A new member of the Twilight coven is on the way: Taylor Lautner and wife Tay are expecting, the actor revealed with maternity photos of him kissing her baby bump as she held a sonogram.
Jacob Black is going to be a dad. Taylor Lautner and his wife, Tay Lautner, just announced they are expecting, and yes, the post leans into the whole two-Taylors bit. Also yes, the woman who grew up Team Edward married Jacob and is now having his baby. Cinema is cyclical.
The announcement
On Thursday, March 26, Taylor posted a mini photo shoot to Instagram: him kissing Tay’s baby bump while she holds up a sonogram. The caption did the heavy lifting.
'What’s better than two Taylor Lautners?'
For the record, he also tossed in a white heart for good measure.
Quick Twilight refresher (for the three of you who somehow missed it )
Before Taylor married Tay in 2022, he spent his late teens turning into a very jacked werewolf named Jacob Black in the Twilight movies, adapted from Stephenie Meyer’s novels. Those films were basically a supernatural love triangle between human Bella (Kristen Stewart), vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson ), and Jacob (Taylor).
Tay? She was a die-hard fan back then — and she was Team Edward. She talked about it on a January 2025 episode of their podcast, 'The Squeeze,' calling the books and movies some of her all-time favorites. She also made it clear that, in her head, 'Jacob' and 'Taylor' are two entirely different humans — watching those films before knowing him as an adult will do that.
They’ve been thinking about this for a while
Back in 2024, Tay told Us Weekly she was nervous about the parenting part — specifically, how to raise kids who can speak up for themselves and actually feel comfortable talking to their parents. She said it scares her, and that she’s been grateful for guidance from friends and from Dr. Daniel Amen, with a focus on helping kids build independence.
Then, on the March 18 episode of 'The Squeeze,' Tay reflected on how they kept their wedding private because so much of their life is public — and wondered how she would handle things once she was pregnant and navigating those first-time-parent moments. Cut to this week: wondering phase officially over.
How the Twilight family took the news
- Peter Facinelli (Carlisle Cullen) reacted in the comments with a flood of hearts and party emojis and a big congrats, basically going full proud TV-dad. Taylor shot back a very all-caps-energy 'love you' with a heart.
- Jackson Rathbone (Jasper Hale) joked that they should name the kid 'Taylor Taylor Lautner Lautner' — and added that parenthood is the best thing in the world, telling Taylor he’s going to be a fun dad. Taylor replied with laughing emojis, which, fair.
- Nikki Reed (Rosalie Hale) said her heart was bursting and that she can’t wait to watch their parenting journey unfold. Worth noting: Taylor had Nikki on 'The Squeeze' back in November 2025, so this is a recent reconnection carrying over to a big life update.
Bottom line
A former Team Edward fan fell for Team Jacob, married him, took their time, talked through the tough stuff on their podcast, and now they’re having a baby. Somewhere, a Twilight-era Tumblr just blinked awake.
