Taylor Lautner and his wife, Taylor “Tay” Dome, have opened up about their experiences sharing the same name in a recent report from Cosmopolitan.
According to the interview with Lautner, who also goes by Tay, having matching names has become an interesting aspect of their relationship. He shared, “It’s hilarious in a lot of ways, but sharing a name just adds to my feeling like she’s literally my other half and we are one and the same.”
The couple met after Makena Lautner, his sister, introduced them in late 2017; they began dating shortly after and tied the knot in November. Their third wedding anniversary was celebrated earlier this year.
Lautner elaborated, “Of course, we have different lives and independence. But it’s a really special thing.” His wife echoed this sentiment, jokingly saying, “We giggle about it all the time,” adding that they are “the same.”
When asked if taking their husband’s last name would be confusing given the current trend of brides not changing their surnames upon marriage, Tay responded with a chuckle. She said, “It was something I wanted. Being Taylor’s wife, I wanted his last name.” However, her husband countered with a playful reply: “You’re not my wife. I’m your husband.”
