Taylor Lautner and wife Tay are expecting first baby as couple share sweet announcement

Taylor Lautner and his wife Tay announced that they are expecting their first child together in a sweet Instagram announcement. 

The 34-year-old Twilight alum - who tied the knot with Tay back in 2022 - revealed the big news in a joint post on Thursday as the couple gave a glimpse at a sonogram. 

In one image, the actor could be seen laying a gentle kiss on Tay's stomach as they posed for photos outdoors in a grassy field. 

The caption of the post read: 'What's better than two Taylor Lautners?' - a possible hint at the name of their baby. 

His wife - whose full name is Taylor Dome - could be seen wearing a sleeveless white dress that had ruched details at the top. 

Lautner coordinated with her look by sporting a plain white shirt as well as a pair of black trousers and white sneakers during the photo session.  

The couple took an assortment of sweet images while holding a sonogram towards the camera. 

Lautner was captured spinning around his wife as she flashed a grin and another picture showed the lovebirds sitting next to each other on a small hill. 

The warm sunshine shone down on the parents-to-be as they sent smiles in each other's direction. 

A black and white photo was additionally included in the Instagram carousel and the pair could be seen laughing amid a lighthearted moment. 

Social media users and celebrities jumped to the comment section to offer their congratulations, including some of Lautner's former Twilight castmates. 

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

Kellan Lutz wrote, 'Congrats brother! It's the best!' while Mackenzie Foy - who played Renesmee - added, 'Congratulations ✨.'

Call her Daddy podcast host Alex Cooper shared, 'SO HAPPY FOR YOU BOTH!!!!!' and Jessi Draper typed, 'I'm so happy!!!!!' 

Dylan Efron commented, '3 Taylor's!!!!' while singer Christina Perri penned, 'yayyyyyyyyyy.' 

Perri's hit track A Thousand Years had notably been used in the soundtrack for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part One. 

Patrick Schwarzenegger added heart-eyed emojis and Nicola Peltz - who is married to Brooklyn Beckham wrote, 'OMG.' 

Media influencer Jaclyn Hill also quickly jumped to the comments to add, 'I can't wait to spoil this baby,' followed by a red heart emoji. 

Lautner was first introduced to wife Tay through his sister and the couple went Instagram official with their relationship in 2018. 

Three years later, the actor popped the big question and the pair announced their engagement in November 2021. 

'I got tons of flowers and candles and a sign,' Lautner told Access Hollywood while offering details of the proposal. 

'So when she came home at the end of the day, after a long day of work, she walked into that. It was a lovely surprise.' 

The following year in November 2022, Lautner and Tay said 'I do' during a romantic ceremony at a winery in Paso Robles, California. 

'We're just excited to be husband and wife,' she told People at the time. 

'The wedding day was so special but we both very much believe that it's not just about that one day, it's about a lifetime together. We're excited to start forever. We are best friends.'

The actor also made a humorous reference to both he and his wife having the same first name. Upon tying the knot, Tay also took her husband's last name.

'Our officiant [joked] that he couldn't wait for the moment he got to say, 'I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Taylor Lautner.' And it's accurate!' Lautner also told People. 

During an interview with Cosmopolitan back in January, the couple revealed whether they were planning to have children in the future. 

'We haven't tried having children. We don't know if it's going to be a struggle, so there's no negative connotation around it,' Tay explained. 

Her husband then added, 'I'm ready when she is. I think we're getting closer.' 

Tay also shared, 'When you're with the right person, there isn't any pressure. It's the same thing with kids. 

'I'm really just loving life so much now. I've found this love for my career, which I think is so special. Not to say you can't do both...' 

In regards to if Lautner would want their kids to follow in his acting footsteps, he expressed, 'I'd definitely have reservations. 

'I feel like you can't say, "No, I'm not going to allow you to do something that you feel passionate about." But I would give a lot of other options.'
