Two Taylors, One Love Story: Twilight Star Taylor Lautner and Taylor Dome’s Red Carpet Fashion & Fairytale Romance

Who doesn’t remember the lovable werewolf Jacob Black from Twilight and the inspiration behind Taylor Swift’s soulful ballad, “Back to December”?

But here’s a twist even more heartwarming than the moonlit scenes. Taylor Lautner, the heartthrob of many, found his soulmate in the most adorable way possible – another Taylor. Yes, you read that right. Lautner married someone who shares his name, though it’s not the name of the pop star you might think of.

In May 2025, Tay Lautner was recognized for her advocacy work at the NAMI Mental Health Gala, receiving the Maybelline & NAMI Be Brave Award. The event was held at the Beverly Hills Hotel, and Robert Downey Jr. and Craig Dubitsky were honored for their efforts in mental health awareness.

Taylor Lautner’s Hollywood Career: From Twilight Fame to Fashionable Appearances

Born on February 11, 1992, Taylor Lautner achieved widespread recognition as the charismatic werewolf Jacob Black in The Twilight Saga from 2008 to 2012. He wears a shoe size 11.5 (US).

Taylor’s journey to stardom began with humble origins, featuring minor roles in TV series such as The Bernie Mac Show and voice roles in animations like What’s New, Scooby-Doo? His breakout came with films like The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D and Cheaper by the Dozen 2.

His fame soared with Twilight, where he starred alongside Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, but as the saga ended, Lautner’s star began to fade. Attempts to reinvent his career with films like Abduction (2011) and Tracers (2015) struggled at the box office and were often seen as efforts to capitalize on his Twilight fame.

However, his unexpected turn in the BBC sitcom Cuckoo from 2014 to 2018 briefly rekindled attention, showcasing his comedic talent alongside British comedian Greg Davies.

After Twilight, Lautner struggled to regain his earlier box office momentum, with projects like Abduction, Tracers, and the Netflix film Home Team receiving lukewarm reviews and limited impact. Despite the challenges, Lautner has remained selective about new roles, focusing more on personal life and occasional media appearances.

Love at First Game Night: How Taylor Lautner Met Tay Dome

During a break from Hollywood, Lautner spent more time with his family — a decision that led to his sister Makena introducing him to Dome. In 2022, Lautner told PEOPLE, “My sister called me and said, ‘Dude, I found your future wife.’ And the rest is history.”

Lautner revealed on The Kelly Clarkson Show in 2022 that his sister Makena set up a casual game night to introduce him to Dome, and the two immediately hit it off.

Although they met only a few years ago, Dome was already familiar with Lautner from his Twilight fame.

In a funny video on her Instagram in June 2022, Dome confessed she used to be Team Edward during Twilight’s peak. She joined the trend “Show your childhood crush and then the person you ended up with,” beginning with Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen and then switching to Lautner, who portrayed Jacob Black.

Dome wrote in the post, “I think it’s time to come clean …” and Lautner chimed in with, “Bout time I won something.”

Tay Dome Lautner: Nurse, Influencer, and Red Carpet Fashionista

Taylor Dome, who now often goes by Tay Lautner professionally after taking her husband’s surname, was born on March 17, 1997.

Though not a Hollywood star like her husband, she has built a meaningful career as a registered nurse, graduating from the College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita, California, in December 2019.

Dome celebrated her nursing school graduation on Instagram, sharing photos from the ceremony and thanking her family, friends, and Lautner for their support throughout her studies.

She called nursing “one of my biggest passions” and expressed excitement to start her career.

She also thanked Lautner for his support during her studies, from cooking meals to helping her study. Beyond nursing, Dome launched LEMONS by Tay in 2022, a digital platform offering mental health resources and self-care tips.

Fairytale Proposal: The Lautners’ Romantic Engagement & Wedding Style

Taylor Lautner and Taylor Dome took their love to the spotlight with a playful post on Halloween. Dressed as members of the Tune Squad from Space Jam, they made their romance Instagram official in October 2018.

After over three years of dating, Lautner proposed in their L.A. kitchen. He detailed the sweet moment in an interview with Vogue in November 2022, “Tay always told me she didn’t want anything big or elaborate; she preferred something intimate. One night, she suggested I just do it in the kitchen over dinner and a glass of wine. So I ended up doing it in the kitchen, but I did it big in the kitchen.”

He detailed the preparation, “With our friend and assistant’s help, I had an event arranged for her to go to so we could transform the kitchen while she was gone. We covered the kitchen with hundreds of roses and candles, and it was hardly recognizable. When she got home from her event, she was in for quite the surprise.”

Lautner shared engagement photos on Instagram in November 2021, with Dome’s emotional reaction captured as he went down on one knee. In the post, he wrote, “And just like that, all of my wishes came true.”

On their engagement anniversary on November 11, 2022, the couple exchanged vows at a California winery, and their friend Judah Smith officiated the ceremony. Their wedding, marked by love and beauty, occurred under a canopy at Epoch Estate Wines.

Describing the day as “beyond perfect,” Dome told the outlet, “I felt like I was in a fairytale. Everything was so beautiful – I was absolutely blown away. I remember looking around during the ceremony and just being in awe of everything.”

She continued, “As we exchanged rings, I just kept thinking, ‘Oh my gosh, I can’t believe we are actually doing this!’ We have dreamt of this day for so long, and it was so beyond perfect.”

The couple embarked on a new project as husband and wife with their podcast “The Squeeze.” Premiering on February 1, the podcast reflects their passion for honest conversations about mental health and wellness. They plan to share their experiences and host celebrity and expert guests to engage in meaningful discussions.

Is Taylor Lautner’s Wife a Swiftie? Inside Tay Dome’s Love for Taylor Swift

Given Taylor Lautner’s ties to Taylor Swift (they dated for a few months in 2009), fans might wonder if his wife is fond of the pop star. The answer is a resounding yes.

On an episode of Nick Viall’s podcast, The Viall Files, Taylor Dome revealed herself as an “OG fan” of Swift. She reminisced, “I went to one of her first concerts like ever. It was at the tiniest theater. My best friend loved her, and then I did too.”

Her appreciation extends to Swift’s music, with Speak Now ranking high on her list of favorites. She calls it “one of the best albums of all time.”

In July 2023, Dome and Lautner attended Swift’s Eras Tour concert in Kansas City. Lautner even appeared onstage for Swift’s music video premiere for “I Can See You,” where he starred alongside Joey King and Presley Cash.

Despite past romantic ties, the trio has fostered a close friendship. Swift introduced Lautner at the concert, praising his involvement in her music video and celebrating their shared first name.

After the event, Dome shared an Instagram photo of herself, Lautner, and Swift and another heartwarming snapshot of her younger self meeting the superstar in a 2010 concert.

In the post, she gushed, “@taylorswift you are not only one of the most talented people to ever walk this earth (truly don’t think there is anything you can’t do) but you are also one of THE kindest people.”

Dome added, “You welcomed my husband and I into your camp with open arms and the warmest heart. The way you are so down to earth and authentically yourself after all these years of being in the spotlight is inspiring. I am honored to call you a friend.”
