Twilight star Taylor Lautner may be happily married now, but the former teen heartthrob has had quite a few famous girlfriends along the way.
From being the subject of Taylor Swift‘s heartfelt breakup song Back to December, to short-lived flings with actors like Ashley Benson and Lily Collins, Lautner, 31, is now happily settled with wife Taylor Dome – who also goes by, you guessed it, Taylor Lautner.
Lautner’s taste for Taylors is something he has happily poked fun at, and in anticipation for Swift’s re-recorded Speak Now‘s release – which features a song written about him – he’s recently made comments revisiting that time in his dating history. So let us revisit it too.

Sara Hicks
Lautner dated Sara Hicks in high school, but the couple broke up just before he found fame playing Jacob Black in Twilight.
The on-again, off-again couple remained close over the years, constantly sparking dating rumours whenever they were spotted together again.
While she was a cheerleader for the LA Clippers at some stage, not much is known about what Hicks is up to now.

Selena Gomez
Lautner met Selena Gomez when he was on location in Vancouver shooting the Twilight sequel, Twilight: New Moon. Gomez was shooting Ramona And Beezus and happened to be staying in the same hotel as Lautner’s co-star Kristen Stewart.
The two didn’t date for all that long in the end, with Gomez confirming they split after a few months of seeing each other.
“We would go out to lunch and dinner, but I knew he had paparazzi following him, and I had paparazzi following me,” Gomez said at the time. “People were getting a little crazy.”
But she only had fond words for her ex. “He is so sweet,” Gomez said. “Taylor has made me so happy. I didn’t know I could be that happy.”

Taylor Swift
After meeting on the set of Valentine’s Day in 2009, the two Taylors hit it off and dated for a short amount of time before breaking up at the end of the year.
Swift’s song Back to December from 2010 album Speak Now is about their relationship, with Lautner confirming it years later.
Recently in an interview ahead of Swift’s re-recording of the album, Lautner said he felt fine about the song being rerecorded and potential new music being dropped, but was “praying for John [Mayer]“, another ex-boyfriend of Swift’s who was allegedly the inspiration for her greatest heartbroken hits on the record.
“I think it’s a great album,” Lautner said. When he was asked if he could be the subject of unheard music, he then said he felt “safe”.
When promoting the album back in 2010, Swift said she considered Lautner to be one of her closest friends. “He’s wonderful, and we’ll always be close,” she said.
We love to see an amicable breakup!

Lily Collins
In another movie set meeting turned fling, Collins and Lautner started dating while filming Abduction in 2011.
Lautner said the two had immediate chemistry but ended things just one week before the film premiered in September 2011.
Maika Monroe
Lautner and Monroe were spotted looking cosy early on in 2013, most notably spotted holding hands at a basketball game, but neither of them confirmed or denied if they were dating and how long for.
Marie Avgeropoulos
Noticing a pattern yet? Avgeropoulos was another co-star of Lautner’s, with the two falling for each other after playing love interests in Tracers.
After meeting in the summer of 2013, the two broke up in early 2015.
Billie Lourd
Meeting on the set of Scream Queens in 2016, Lautner supported Lourd through her mother Carrie Fisher‘s death in December 2016, before they broke up around July 2017.
Since then, Lourd got back with her ex-boyfriend Austen Rydell, who she dated before she met Lautner, and the couple now have two children together.
Taylor Dome
In 2018, Lautner announced he was dating Taylor Dome, a nurse from California.
Lautner met Dome through his sister Makena Moore, who met Dome and thought she’d be perfect for Lautner.
Lautner and Dome announced their engagement in 2021, and got married in a lavish ceremony in November 2022.
The two now host The Squeeze together, a podcast based upon talking about mental health and wellbeing.
