Taylor Lautner and wife Taylor Lautner share gender of baby and it’s sparked same reaction

Taylor Lautner and his wife, Taylor ‘Tay’ Lautner, have shared their reaction to finding out the sex of their baby.

The Twilight star and his wife, who announced their baby news in March, have given fans an exciting pregnancy update.

In an Instagram video shared with fans on June 7, Taylor and Tay sat on the sofa in front of a laptop as they clicked through the steps to find out their baby’s gender.

After several steps and one final click on the laptop, the couple - who legally share the same name - screamed in excitement as they read the news.

“Out little secret is now yours,” the couple captioned the sweet Instagram post.

Both parents-to-be cheered and sobbed after reading the result: the Taylor Lautners are expecting a baby girl!

When the Grown Ups 2 actor announced that they were expecting on 26 March, he captioned the post with a cute reference to their names while teasing a possible third: “What’s better than two Taylor Lautners?”

Heartwarming photos show the couple posing in a field together, holding up a series of sonogram images, with Taylor kissing his wife's pregnant stomach.

Fans responded to the gender reveal video by urging the couple to name their daughter Taylor.

“Taylor Lautner III ?” one Instagram user replied in the comments, as another excited fan said: “They’re gonna have a little Taylor."

“Is she gonna be named Taylor,” someone else wrote.

Similarly, another commenter shared: “Pls name her Taylor!!!!”

An interview recently resurfaced where Taylor explained how they handle the unique name situation.

Taylor's wife Tay's maiden name was Taylor Dome, but when she and the actor tied the knot in May 2023 after five years of dating, she took on her husband's last name, making her also Taylor Launter.

Shortly after the wedding, the then-newlyweds spoke on The Today Show about how they have exactly the same name.

Co-host Sheinelle Jones pointed and questioned: "Your friends and family, they call you (the actor) Taylor, and they just call you (his wife) Tay?"

Tay explained that it can be confusing, but to make things easier for people, she often goes by the shortened version of her name, and her hubby goes by Taylor.

They also go by 'girl Tay' and 'boy Tay,' to help eliminate any miscommunications.

She said, "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."
