Taylor Lautner and Tay Lautner have revealed that their first baby is a girl. The couple shared the news on Sunday, 7 June, in an emotional Instagram Reel, with the word “girl” flashing on screen in pink before Lautner pulled his wife into a hug.

The reveal also marked a small but meaningful milestone for a couple whose relationship has unfolded in public steps. Lautner met Tay in 2018 while he was taking a break from acting, proposed in 2021 and married her in California in 2022. The pair announced in March that they were expecting their first child together, and Sunday’s post made the pregnancy feel suddenly more immediate to fans watching along.

In the video, the couple kept the baby’s sex secret until the end, turning the reveal into a surprise rather than a straightforward announcement. Afterward, Taylor Lautner wrote on his Instagram Stories, “My dream has always been to become a girl dad,” and the moment landed as both celebration and confirmation of what he had been hoping for.

The choice to hold back the news until Sunday gave the reveal its punch. “Our little secret is now yours,” the couple wrote, and the message fit the tone of the post: intimate, a little playful and clearly meant to be shared only after the couple had had their moment. Lautner’s “We did it,” in the clip underscored that the announcement was less about spectacle than about a private joy made public.

For Lautner, the update adds another chapter to the life he has built since stepping back from acting in 2018. The Twilight star has spent years away from the franchise-fueled spotlight that once defined him, but the pregnancy news and Sunday’s reveal put him back in the kind of headline-making moment fans still follow closely. The missing detail now is simple: the couple has not said when the baby is due.
