Tay and Taylor Lautner have welcomed their first child together, a baby girl born on 16 September.
The baby's name
The couple announced their daughter is named Lennon Taylor Lautner, nicknamed Lenny, with her middle name paying tribute to both her parents' shared first name. Sharing the news on Instagram, Lautner wrote: "One week loving our sweet little Lenny. Lennon Taylor Lautner," alongside a first look at their newborn.
How fans reacted
The announcement drew a wave of playful reactions online. One fan wrote: "Lennon Lautner is truly the coolest name." Another said: "Obsessed that you kept Taylor in the name, you HAD to," while a third added: "The Taylor dynasty." Another joked: "Imagine going out with friends and being introduced as the Taylor Lautners are here."
Their pregnancy announcement
The couple announced they were expecting back in March, sharing a series of photos while holding up sonogram images and joking in the caption: "What's better than two Taylor Lautners?" They revealed the baby's sex in June before hosting a pink-themed baby shower in August, with Tay writing at the time: "Our little girl is already so loved."
How they navigate sharing a name
Tay and Taylor have joked for years about sharing the same first name since marrying in 2023. Speaking on The Today Show shortly after their wedding, Tay explained the pair typically use "Tay" and "Taylor" respectively, along with the shorthand "girl Tay" and "boy Tay" to avoid confusion among friends and family, saying: "Yeah, we've kind of got boy Tay, girl Tay going on. And that is how they differentiate it. But now I'm always girl Tay, and he's always boy Tay - even when we're not together."
