“It’s easy to slip up and to get in these ruts where you stop prioritizing [your mental health],” he begins. “Having each other in that journey is really helpful. We both often can identify each other when one of us is in a down cycle before we even know it, and we know what to do to pick the other one up.”
The duo, who tied the knot in November 2022, are currently spending the summer in Idaho. Taylor goes on to tell Parade that exploring the great outdoors and being in nature plays a big role in the pair’s overall wellbeing.
“For me personally, I think it’s why we put the emphasis on spending this summer the way that we are [right now, because] when I fall out of being outside in nature and being active, that is when I notice that my mental health struggles,” he continues. “So it has been a really beautiful thing for both of us this summer to put an emphasis on being active and being outdoors, being in nature. So I’m super thankful for that.”
Taylor and Tay’s summer adventure wouldn’t be complete without their two dogs, Lily and Remi, whom the Twilight alum refers to as the couple’s “children.” His love for their pups is the reason why partnering with Blue Buffalo Wilderness — the nation’s No. 1 most trusted natural pet food brand — was an easy yes.
“We have two dogs, so they’re our family. They come everywhere we do. It just makes sense to fuel them with the right ingredients the same way that Tay and I fuel ourselves,” he says. “So we thought it would be really cool to team up and follow this summer adventure series that I’m doing, because we wanted to spend a lot of the summer outdoors. It was a perfect fit, and I’m honored to be partnered with them.”
As for which products Taylor’s dogs can’t get enough of, he tells Parade that they love the Blue Buffalo Wilderness Adult Chicken with Wholesome Grains recipe, as well as the Wilderness Wild Cuts.
“The Wild Cuts have this gravy in them that makes them irresistible, and you can use them as toppers or just a little treat along the way,” he says. “But I would say that’s probably their go-to. I mean, they love the chicken recipe, but the Wilderness Wild Cuts are their little secret.”
Blue Buffalo is also running a promotion through Aug. 31 on its Instagram account, where social media users are encouraged to comment their favorite place to adventure with their dog, using #BLUEWilderness to enter the “Made for Adventure” sweepstakes. One lucky winner will be randomly selected to win a year’s supply of Wilderness dog food, as well as a Jeep Wrangler.
