Taylor Lautner and Taylor Lautner make cryptic post after announcing pregnancy

Taylor Lautner has announced he’s expecting his first child with his wife, who also just so happens to be called Taylor Lautner.

The former Twilight star, who made his name on the hit franchise, shared the news on Instagram with a series of sweet photos alongside his partner and namesake.

Could another Taylor Lautner be on the way?

The couple, who are separated by a five-year age gap, were seen smiling and walking through a scenic field, proudly holding up a sonogram of their baby.

In one image, Lautner is also pictured proudly kissing his wife’s stomach.

While the photos were enough to delight fans, it was the caption that really captured attention, and subsequently sparked speculation.

“What's better than two Taylor Lautners?” they wrote, leaving some wondering whether it could be a playful hint at their baby’s name.

Whether it’s a joke or not, fans couldn’t help but point out the possibility of a third Taylor Lautner joining the family.

Showbiz responds to the couple's baby news

The post also included a black-and-white photo of the couple laughing together, adding to the heartfelt announcement.

Messages of congratulations quickly poured in, including from Lautner’s former Twilight co-stars.

Kellan Lutz commented: “Congrats brother! It's the best!”

Nikki Reed added: “Oh my goodness, heart bursting. I love you guys. I can't wait to watch your journey as parents unfold…”

Mackenzie Foy simply wrote: “Congratulations,” followed by a star emoji.

Meanwhile, podcast host Alex Cooper shared her excitement, commenting: “SO HAPPY FOR YOU BOTH!!!!!”

In a past interview, Lautner’s wife, 29, revealed she wasn’t always on Team Jacob during the height of Twilight mania.

“I was too young for Jacob’s abs,” she admitted.

Lautner himself joked about the timing, saying: “Yeah, when I was walking around in my little booty jean shorts and ripping my shirt off and my abs were on big screens, she’s 11 years old, throwing a ‘Twilight’ birthday party.”

With a trio of Taylor Lautner’s excitedly being mooted by adoring fans, they will have to wait until the backend of 2026 to discover if the couple opt to bestow their shared name on their newborn baby, or whether they decide to go with something a little more original.
