Taylor Lautner Opens Up About the ‘Annoying’ Reality of Having the Same Name As His Wife

Ryan Brennan | January 21, 2026

Taylor Lautner is happily married — but it can get a little “annoying” at times. 

The 33-year-old “Twilight” actor appeared on a 2023 episode of the “Good Guys” podcast with hosts actor Josh Peck and influencer Ben Soffer when he was asked about sharing a first and last name with his wife.

“Does it ever get annoying having the same name as your wife?” Peck asked Lautner. 

Lautner initially said no, but immediately pushed back.

“It’s just only starting to because now that we officially have the same exact name, packages are becoming tough,” he explained. 

“We need to figure something out because when I’m buying stuff for her and she’s buying stuff for me, we’re going to have some surprises spoiled if we open the wrong Taylor Lautner package,” he added. 

Taylor Lautner and his wife, Taylor Dome, met while he was on a hiatus from acting in 2018, according to People

The actor proposed on Nov. 11, 2021 and the couple tied the knot exactly one year later on Nov. 11, 2022 — at which point she adopted Lautner’s last name. 

But packages aren’t the only complication that has come as a result of their shared name. 

“TSA, airports are a little — they’ll be like, ‘So, which one of you is Taylor?’ And we’re like, ‘Both of us,’” he joked. “‘Okay, well which one of you is Taylor Lautner?’ And we’re like, “Also both of us.’” 

Lautner went on to reveal that he and his wife, who goes by Tay Lautner, sometimes get flagged by security because it “seems fishy.” 

“We, like, literally have to explain ourselves,” Lautner continued, to which Peck joked, “Oh, I’d get divorced over that.”

Taylor Lautner’s wife, Tay, is a registered nurse and mental health advocate, according to People. 

The “Cuckoo” actor opened up about the couple’s origin story in an interview with People, published in January 2022, where he revealed that they were introduced through his sister, Makena Moore. 

"I wanted to take a step back and enjoy life and spend some time with my family and friends," he shared at the time. "And I met my fiancée out of it, so it all worked out."

"My sister Makena actually introduced us," he continued. "She called me and said, 'Dude, I found your future wife. You need to meet this girl.' And the rest is history."

Tay graduated from the College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita in 2019 with a nursing degree

“This angel just graduated Nursing School and I couldn’t be more proud,” Lautner wrote of his then-girlfriend on Instagram.

“I’ve seen the ups and downs, the tears and joy the last two years has brought you and I truly do not know how you do it,” he added. “You have the worlds largest heart and I’m so thankful to have you in my life.”

In February 2023, the couple started their own podcast, “The Squeeze,” together.
