In 2003, Taylor continued to flourish in the martial arts circuit where he ranked number one in the world for NASKA's Black Belt Open Forms, Musical Weapons, Traditional Weapons and Traditional Forms and, at the age of twelve, he became the three time Junior World Champion. He was soon invited to train with seven-time world karate champion Michael Chaturantabut (aka Mike Chat) and, at the age of eight, he was asked to represent his country in the twelve years and under division in the World Karate Association where he became the Junior World Forms and Weapons champion, winning three gold medals. At the age of six, Taylor began studying martial arts at Fabiano's Karate School and he, along with his family, quickly noticed his unique and natural talent for the sport. He is of English, German, Dutch, and Scottish descent. He, and younger sister Makena, were raised in a well-mannered, Roman Catholic household in Hudsonville, Michigan.

The couple tied the knot in a ceremony in California on Novemexactly one year after the couple became engaged. And that’s where our story really started." "I didn’t think she would say yes, but she did. And I was like, by the way, if you want to come and visit me - which was such an insane thing - I hadn’t known you for a month," he says to his wife. "I had to go to London to film the show that I was doing. Or three weeks after we started dating?" he asks Tay. "Our love story started in London just three weeks after we met. The pair were able to revisit London while traveling, a city Taylor Lautner says was a special place in their relationship. "It feels like a new chapter of our lives," Taylor Lautner says, even though he says the couple have been dating since 2017. The newlyweds share they’ve had a busy six months since getting married in November, including starting their podcast and traveling around the globe. And yeah, it's nice to have somebody that shows you the way." "It's been good because she's shown me the ropes of things that I like, didn't get to experience a lot growing up," he says of living life with Tay. The couple has now adjusted to living a self-proclaimed "normie" life, including doing their own laundry, an activity Taylor Lautner says he "loves," though he's pretty hard on the sarcasm. "It's not that cool," he says of having previously lived a famous lifestyle. If Taylor lived like a celebrity, I probably wouldn't be with him," she says while laughing. "In everyday life, I don't feel that because we live very normal lives. While Tay Lautner acknowledges she's now living out the romance trope and fan dream of being a "normal person" who winds up with a celebrity, she tells it's never felt that way. "I had known him for awhile, but the first time that Girl Tay met him I was thinking, ‘Please hold it together.’ And it was like she had met any random person." In addition to be being a Twihard, she also was a big Bieber fan. He references a moment with Justin Bieber that she says happened on one of their first dates. "We’ll just be in front of like the coolest person ever, and she could care less," he says. Taylor Lautner agrees his wife is "abnormally normal" around celebrities, and admits he is more of a "fan girl" around famous people. "Taylor is different from Jacob in my head," she says, referencing the werewolf he plays in the famous series. The couple has been together since, and Tay Lautner says she thinks the reason she thinks their relationship worked so well in the beginning is because she’s “really bad at celebrities and knowing who people are.” His sister suggested he invite the registered nurse to a game night in 2017, and for the first few days, he has said she didn't know he was interested in her - she thought he was just being nice to his sister's friends. The Lautners were first introduced through Taylor Lautner's sister Makena, who called him one day to say she had found his "future wife," who also had his same name, he previously told. "He’s the talent," Tay says with a smile. "Girl Tay does most of the work," he says, referring to their families' nicknames for each other. The couple says they haven’t argued over the podcast yet, which Taylor Lautner says comes down to how they divide up the work ("We haven’t argued about anything yet - knock on wood," Tay clarifies).
