Taylor Lautner has his sister, Makena Moore, to thank for his relationship.
Moore first introduced Lautner to his now-wife, Taylor Dome, while he was on a hiatus from acting.
“I wanted to take a step back and enjoy life and spend some time with my family and friends,” he told PEOPLE. “And I met my fiancée out of it, so it all worked out.”
The couple went public with their relationship in 2018, and the Twilight actor popped the question in November 2021. Lautner shared the news with fans by posting photos of the proposal on Instagram. “And just like that, all of my wishes came true,” he wrote.
Lautner and Dome wed at a winery in California on Nov. 11, 2022.
So, who is the leading lady in Lautner’s life? Here’s what to know about Taylor Dome.

She’s a registered nurse

Dome isn’t a Hollywood star, but a healthcare worker. After completing her studies in 2019, Dome became a registered nurse, and thanked Lautner in a post on Instagram for his support throughout her schooling.
“Thank you for encouraging me when I felt like quitting. Thank you for all the meals you’d make me when I was too busy studying. Thank you for quizzing me and trying to pronounce medical terms and abbreviations,” she wrote alongside a photo of the two embracing.
In May 2021, Dome posted several snaps of herself at work on Instagram in celebration of Nurses Week. She praised her fellow healthcare professionals in the caption, writing, “Thank you for all you have given, your drive to keep going, and your heart of gold.”
She’s a mental health and self-care advocate
In addition to her work as a nurse, Dome is an influencer who focuses on self-care and mental health. In January 2022, Dome launched LEMONS by Tay, a self-care and mental health website. Per her Instagram announcement, the site is “an open and honest space” where she shares mental health exercises, tips and resources.
She was introduced to Lautner by his sister
Dome is a close friend of Lautner’s sister, Makena Moore, and the actor gives his sister full credit for introducing the pair.
“My sister Makena actually introduced us,” he revealed to PEOPLE. “She called me and said, ‘Dude, I found your future wife. You need to meet this girl.’ And the rest is history.”
Lautner went into greater detail during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show in 2022. He told Clarkson, “It’s just me and my sister so we’re super close, and she always said that she was gonna introduce me to my future wife, and I was like, ‘Sure.’ ”
The actor said Moore used Lautner’s love of games to bring him and Dome together.
“I love game nights. She’s like, ‘Throw a game night, invite me and some of my friends over, and I’ll bring Tay. She’ll just be one of them, and you guys can just meet,’ ” he recalled. “We hit it off and the rest is history.”
She’s Lautner’s “biggest fan”

While Dome doesn’t work in entertainment, she’s very supportive of her future husband’s career, and regularly posts on Instagram about Lautner’s accomplishments. In January 2022, she shared an Instagram post in celebration of her fiancé’s latest project, Home Team.
“Proud is an understatement. Proud of this movie and all the warm-hearted laughter it brings. Proud of you for getting back out there and doing what you love. Proud of the amazing man you have become,” she wrote. “I’m your biggest fan.”
In April 2022, Dome and Lautner hit their first red carpet together. She shared a photo of herself and her beau at the CMT Awards, writing, “First carpet with my favorite person by my side.”
She was a fan of the Twilight films — and of Edward Cullen

Although Dome and Lautner first met a few years ago, Dome knew who the actor was long before their introduction. Lautner admitted on The Kelly Clarkson Show that Dome was a fan of the Twilight films, which launched him to stardom in 2008.
In November 2020, Dome shared a throwback photo on Instagram of her wearing a Twilight sweatshirt. She captioned the flashback, “#tbt #twilightforever.”
In a hilarious video posted on her Instagram in June 2022, Dome admitted that she was once Team Edward over Team Jacob during Twilight‘s heyday. Participating in the “Show your childhood crush and then the person you ended up with” trend, she started the video with images of Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen before cutting to photos of Lautner, who played Edward’s rival, Jacob Black.
“I think it’s time to come clean …” Dome captioned the post, with Lautner commenting, “Bout time I won something.”
Lautner’s proposal left her speechless

After popping the question, Lautner shared the details of his proposal with Access Hollywood. He also confessed that his wife had a hard time saying “yes” — but not because she wasn’t interested.
“She always has said, ‘I don’t want anything special. I don’t want anything big and grand. Do it in the kitchen,’ ” he shared before noting that the kitchen plays a special role in their relationship.
“I love cooking, so I make us food all the time in the kitchen and we just eat at the counter,” he said. “And she’s like, ‘One night after we eat in the kitchen, that’s all I want. Simple.’ ”
Lautner did propose according to his now-wife’s wishes, but he added a little flair.
“I got tons of flowers and candles and a sign. So when she came home at the end of the day, after a long day of work, she walked into that,” he said. “It was a lovely surprise.”
The Abduction actor admitted it took a while for Dome to respond, which caught him off guard.
“It actually did take her a little longer than expected to say ‘yes’ because she was weeping so hard. She couldn’t even walk up to me,” he recalled. “So I was on my mark and I have to leave the mark to go get her to lift her up from crying … It took a sec, but it was super sweet.”
She changed her last name to Lautner
In August 2022, Lautner revealed on The Kelly Clarkson Show that Dome planned to legally change her last name after their wedding.
“Cause we already share one name, so it’s gonna be extra complicated,” Lautner told Clarkson. He called the situation “ridiculous,” even joking, “I’m a narcissist.”
Following Dome’s official name change, Lautner spoke about the unexpected inconveniences of sharing an identical name with his wife.
“Packages are becoming tough. 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 shared on the Good Guys podcast.
The actor continued: “TSA … they’ll be like, ‘Which one of you is Taylor Lautner?’ And we’re like, ‘Both of us.’ They’re like, meh, this seems fishy. We’re gonna send you to security.”
She had a floral-themed bridal shower
On Sept. 25, 2022, Dome celebrated her pending nuptials with a floral-themed bridal shower.
She showed off her all-white outfit on Instagram — a cute puffy-sleeve mini dress and strappy heels. “I can’t wait to marry you @taylorlautner 👰🏻♀️,” Dome captioned the carousel of images.
Lautner left some flirty remarks in the comments section.
She married Lautner at a winery in California
On Nov. 11, 2022, Lautner and Dome wed at Epoch Estate Wines outside of Paso Robles, California.
Dome stunned in a custom Winnie Couture A-line gown, which she paired with an elbow-length veil and a tulle cape.
“We did a first look [before the ceremony] because I knew if the first time I saw her was when she was walking down the aisle, I would have lost it,” the Twilight star, who wore a custom Dolce & Gabbana tuxedo for the big day, told PEOPLE.
Roughly 90 people attended the wedding, including Jason Kennedy and his wife, Lauren Scruggs, who were members of the bridal party.
“Everything felt so surreal,” Dome said. “The flowers, the vines, the sky. We were both very involved in the process so we had high expectations, but it exceeded them for sure.”
The bride added: “We just wanted the day to feel celebratory, no pressure or anxiety. Everybody there meant so much to us.”
After six months of marriage, Lautner and Dome shared their wedding video in a joint Instagram post on May 11, 2023. In the clip, the couple can be seen posing for photos in a field and exchanging vows. “Six months down, forever to go💍🤍,” Dome wrote in the caption.
She and Lautner traveled to Mexico for their honeymoon
Shortly after their wedding day, Mr. and Mrs. Lautner hopped on a plane to Mexico, where they were spotted enjoying the beach. The Twilight star sported blue swim trunks, while Dome wore a mint-green one-piece.
She and Lautner have a podcast together
On Feb. 1, 2023, Dome and Lautner debuted their podcast, The Squeeze, which focuses on themes of mental health and well-being.
“In addition to sharing coping strategies and stories, we hope that above all, this podcast offers the comfort of knowing you are not alone,” read the caption in a Jan. 25, 2023, post from the podcast’s Instagram page.
In the first episode, the Twilight alum recalled the moment when Kanye West interrupted his then-girlfriend Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech during the 2009 VMAs. He recalled presenting the award to Swift and stepping back before watching Kanye “jump” onto the stage.
“I can barely hear it. I can’t see them, I’m just assuming that this whole thing was a practiced and rehearsed skit because why else would Kanye West be jumping up on the stage, interrupting Taylor Swift?” he said.
Lautner recalled laughing until Swift turned around and he saw her face. “I was like, ‘Oh,” he said. “No, that … wasn’t good.”
She’s a Taylor Swift fan

Dome revealed that she is an “OG fan” of Swift on an episode of Bachelor alum Nick Viall’s podcast, The Viall Files.
“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,” she said.
Dome also spoke about which of Swift’s songs she likes best, calling the album Speak Now “one of the best albums of all time.”

In July 2023, Dome and Lautner (who dated Swift for a few months in 2009) attended the pop star’s Eras Tour concert in Kansas City, Missouri. At one point, the Twilight actor joined Swift onstage to premiere a music video for the track “I Can See You.” Lautner stars in the video alongside Joey King and Presley Cash.
“He was a very positive force in my life when I was making the Speak Now album, and I want to say he did every single stunt that you saw in that music video,” Swift said when introducing her ex to the crowd. “He and his wife have become some of my closest friends, and it’s very convenient because we all share the same first name.”
On Instagram, Dome gushed about Swift following the concert.
“@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,” she captioned two images — one of the three Taylors and one from the 2010 concert where she first met Swift.
Dome continued: “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.”
After experiencing what Swifties are calling “post-Taylor Swift show depression,” or “PTSD,” Dome and Lautner snagged tickets to one of the singer’s Los Angeles shows in August 2023.
She and Lautner have matching tattoos
For her 26th birthday, Lautner surprised Dome with a tattoo session at their home in California. The tattoo artist gave the couple matching ink — their wedding date (11.11.22) printed in a delicate font. Both Lautner and Dome got the tattoo on their left wrist.
Her biggest pet peeve is when Lautner takes out the trash and doesn’t replace the bag
While playing “How Well Do You Know Your Co-Star” with Marie Claire, Lautner revealed Dome’s biggest pet peeve.
“[It’s] when I take the trash out and I don’t put the new trash bag into the bin,” he shared. To which Dome replied: “That’s it.”
She added that Lautner used to be notorious for leaving an empty toilet paper roll on the holder.
“He doesn’t do that anymore,” Dome said. “The trash bag we’re still working on.”
She and Lautner appeared on Call Her Daddy
In December 2023, the couple appeared on Alex Cooper’s podcast, Call Her Daddy. Dome and Lautner opened up about their relationship struggles, including the Twilight alum’s tendency to be “needy.”
“I’m working on it. I’ve always been a little bit insecure. [I’ve] struggled with jealousy. I’ve always had that within me. It used to eat me alive,” he said. “I’m definitely needier. [My love languages] are physical touch and words of affirmation. [Hers] is acts of service.”
