“She had Lily already when we met and Lily quickly became my best friend,” Lautner says. He teamed up with Hill’s Pet Nutrition this year to promote the Clear The Shelters Campaign, which encourages people to adopt from local shelters. The two live together with their two rescue dogs – Lily, who was his fiancée’s dog before they got together, and Remi, their second dog – and Lautner has thrown himself into animal rescue work. “We’ve been together for four and a half years,” he says. Lautner’s sister introduced the two when she brought her along to a game night at Lautner’s house.
He was searching for something meaningful, and that’s when he found love with his now fiancée, a nurse who worked brutal hours helping patients during the pandemic. “I sound like I’m on ‘The Bachelor’ – doing things for ‘the right reasons,’” he laughs, a famous line often cited on the reality dating show, a guilty pleasure of his. And that’s why I think the step back is just a good refresh and just to make sure you’re doing things for the right reasons.” “It was a learning curve for all of us as a family. I think even for them it was uncharted territory for parents that have a 16-year-old going through that,” he says. “My parents definitely just put it into perspective. While he says he’s grateful for the role of shapeshifter Jacob Black in film series – and the paychecks that came with it – he decided to take a step back from Hollywood after starring in all five “Twilight” films. His parents, he joked, would tell him, “We don’t care that you’re on the big screen. “In ‘Twilight,’ I was the youngest – I was 16 – and so my parents were a huge part of (grounding me) and even when I was filming movies, when I was home, I still had to take out the trash. He says he leaned on his parents to keep him grounded. In 2008, he starred in the first “Twilight” movie and his life changed dramatically, as the franchise’s rabid fans turned him into a teen icon. Lautner began his acting career at 8 years old, working in commercials, doing voiceovers and eventually landing the role of Shark Boy in “The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl” when he was 12. “I like being able to come into town and do my thing when I want and also be able to get away when we want as well and have some peace and quiet.” “I like a little bit of space,” he tells CNN. He tells CNN that he likes to pop into the city for a meeting here and there, but that he is happy seeing himself as a regular guy – with just enough Hollywood pull to put it to good use. Lautner is 30 years old, engaged, has dogs and lives a quiet life outside Los Angeles. In order to keep weight on after long days filming and working out, he’d need to consume 5,000 calories a day and would fill up on greasy Carl’s Jr. When Taylor Lautner started acting in the “Twilight” movies, he was just 16 years old.
