Taylor Lautner Has Been 'Like a Husband' to Billie Lourd After Her Mom's Passing

Billie Lourd has really had a shoulder to lean on in boyfriend Taylor Lautner.

In fact, her family says he’s acted “like a husband” to the 24-year-old actress in the wake of her mother Carrie Fisher‘s death late last year.

“As any uncle, you’re suspicious of the guy hanging around your niece,” Todd Fisher told E! News. “She’s cute and all that. She’s had other boyfriends, good boyfriends, but I’m certainly going to give that guy the extra look-over. I don’t give a sh-tt what his background is.”

“The truth of the matter is, the guy is pretty spectacular,” he said about Taylor. “He’s a really deep person, and he has supported her amazingly. He’s stepped up and acted like a husband would act. Not that that’s what’s going on, but it’s just an amazing support system for her, and I’m glad he’s in her life. That’s not easy for me to say, if you think about it!”
