Baby joy for Taylor Lautner — he and wife Tay welcome first baby, share update
Taylor Lautner and wife Tay have welcomed their first child — and there’s a sweet baby update to go with the news.
So, in what feels like a natural next step in the ever-entertaining saga of celebrity baby announcements, Taylor Lautner and his wife Tay Lautner have officially joined the club. The pair, who have done absolutely nothing to make it easy for the press (or anyone else) with their near-matching names, introduced their first child to the world—a baby girl with a name that is, frankly, peak Lautner energy.
They first broke the news of Tay's pregnancy back in March 2026, and now they've decided to share a bit more—albeit in their own cautious, privacy-loving style. Both Tay and Taylor posted to Instagram, revealing their daughter's name and birthdate with a sweet photo of a needlepoint rather than her actual face (a clear nod to their thoughts on internet privacy, but we'll get to that in a tick). The caption let us know the new arrival is called Lennon Taylor Lautner, and yes, they've already taken up calling her "Lenny". Strong move.
‘One week loving our sweet little Lenny. Lennon Taylor Lautner. 9.16.2026.’
In case you missed it, that September 16th birthdate means Lenny is already a week into her job of delighting the internet, or at least her Instagram-following relations. The middle name "Taylor" is a deliberate reference to mum and dad (if your whole brand is being a pair of Taylors, why stop now?), which, fair play, is very much on-brand for these two.

Minding the Privacy Line
Unlike some celeb parents, the Lautners haven't exactly thrown open the gates to their daughter's life. Tay in particular has been open about her anxieties around sharing too much. On her podcast, The Squeeze, she admitted that broadcasting anything this personal online was a step into slightly terrifying territory:
In an episode of the Unplanned Podcast, Tay made it clear she plans to keep her child out of the public eye, at least for now. She said she's got mates who plaster photos of their adorable offspring all over the internet, and that's fine for them, but she's just not having it—though even she's open to changing her mind someday. For now, though, if you're after a baby-face pic, you'll need to look elsewhere. The Lautners are keeping things subtle and stitched on a sampler, not splashed in pixels.
