Taylor Lautner, Billie Lourd Split: Actor Celebrated 4th Of July Sans ‘American Horror Story’ Star
“Scream Queens” co-stars and real-life couple Billie Lourd and Taylor Lautner have called it quits. The “Twilight” alum was even spotted partying on his own without the actress on the Fourth of July.
On Thursday, a source confirmed to People that the 24-year-old actress and the 25-year-old actor have formally ended their romantic relationship. Despite their split, the source said that the two have decided to remain friends. “They aren’t together anymore but they are still friendly,” the source said.
Following the breakup, Lourd is said to be channeling her attention to her career. “She’s really focused on her work right now,” the source said. The actress is set to appear in the upcoming season of Ryan Murphy’s “American Horror Story” series.

Prior the announcement of their split, Lourd and Lautner have been pretty quiet on Instagram since late May. They previously updated their fans on social media with sweet couple photos. Then, early this week on the Fourth of July, Lautner was seen partying at Bootsy Bellows in Malibu sans Lourd.
The last time that Lautner posted something related to Lourd on Instagram was on May 24. The actor uploaded a sweet photo of them cuddling at the back of the car, and he captioned it, “Feelin lucky every day.”
The “Scream Queens” Season 2 co-stars first made their romance public in early December after they were spotted kissing at a party for the Fox TV series. Their co-actor Keke Palmer even captured their cuddly moments at the party on her Snapchat at the time.
At the start of their relationship, Lautner had been visibly supportive of Lourd, who mourned the loss of her mother, Carrie Fisher, and grandmother, Debbie Reynolds, that same month. Lautner was by Lourd’s side throughout the ordeal and even accompanied the latter during the joint memorial service on Jan. 6, as pointed out by Us Weekly.
“Taylor has been at Billie's house every day, taking care of her. He's by her side constantly, trying to help her through this,” a source said at the time. “He has been trying to figure out the best way to help her cope during this difficult time.”
