After the “Twilight” series wrapped, Taylor Lautner took some time away from the spotlight to clear his head, get some perspective, and figure out how to move forward with his acting career. Apparently, his fanbase significantly downsized after the entire saga ended, leading him to feel a little lost. “When that’s [popularity] taken away from you at all, you start to question yourself and start to be like, ‘Oh, do people not care about me anymore?'” he told PopSugar. “It goes away a little bit. You notice it, and that’s the dangerous part, because that can really mess with your mind.”

Fortunately, his hiatus did him well, although it took him a few years to return to the scene. Not only did he get to spend more quality time with the people dear to him, but it also led him to his future wife. “I wanted to take a step back and enjoy life and spend some time with my family and friends. And I met my fiancée out of it, so it all worked out,” the actor told People in January 2022, a few months before they officially tied the knot. He also added that his sister was responsible for helping him meet the love of his life. “My sister Makena actually introduced us,” he recalled. “She called me and said, ‘Dude, I found your future wife. You need to meet this girl.’ And the rest is history.”
