Both of them have the same first and last name since their marriage, and friends are said to call them "Boy Tay" and "Girl Tay."
The couple's pregnancy journey
The couple announced their pregnancy in March, three years after they got married. They posted a cheeky caption along with the photos, "What's better than two Taylor Lautners?"
In June, they announced they were expecting a girl. Taylor said having a daughter was meaningful in particular because he had previously expressed that being a "girl dad" was his dream. The couple also held a pink-themed baby shower in August, which was hosted by influencer Jaclyn Hill. Tay later gave fans a tour of Lennon's nursery, which Taylor called his "favourite room in the house."
Taylor and Tay's love story
Taylor and Tay met in 2018 through Taylor's younger sister, Makena Moore. They started dating in the same year, got engaged in 2021 and tied the knot in November 2022.
Before Lennon's birth, Tay spoke openly about watching Taylor prepare for fatherhood. She said she believed he would be a great dad because of his kind and caring nature. The couple's journey to parenthood has now entered a new chapter with the arrival of their daughter, Lennon Taylor Lautner.
