Taylor/Natalie is the RPF pairing of Taylor Hanson and his wife Natalie Bryant Hanson. It is most often referred to by the portmanteau Naylor.
The two began dating in 2000 after meeting at either a concert or mall fashion show (stories vary)[1], and got married on June 8, 2002. They have seven children -- Jordan Ezra (2002), Penelope Anne (2005), River Samuel (2006), Viggo Moriah (2008), Wilhelmina Jane (2012), Claude Indiana Emmanuel(2018) and Maybellene Alma Joy(2020).
Fans have mixed feelings about their relationship, although after over a decade and six children most accept that it isn't going to end any time soon, even if there is still widespread skepticism about it.[2][3][4][5] Natalie's social media accessibility and mommy blog Nat On The Wall seem to have raised her profile amongst the fans.
Ship Appeal and Controversy
There are persistent rumors about the circumstances surrounding their marriage, whether or not their son Ezra is Taylor's and whether or not Taylor is faithful.[6] Most interestingly, following their wedding, theories surfaced that there were multiple girls playing the part of Natalie, similar to the "Calder triplets" rumor in the One Direction fandom.[7]
Because of all these rumors and controversies, this couple provides plenty of fic fodder. Stories that center around their shotgun wedding and early marriage are quite common.
