No one expected Twilight hottie Taylor Lautner to stay single for long! Rumor has it that the 18-year-old has been heating things up with an older actress -- who just so happens to have a very famous father. And now it seems the relationship is getting serious.

Buzz that Lautner is dating his Abduction costar Lily Collins, daughter of music legend Phil Collins, has been circulating for months. The 21-year-old actress (who played Sandra Bullock's teenage daughter in The Blind Side) recently spent some time with her werewolf beau on the Breaking Dawn set. Now sources say Lautner took the plunge and had a sitdown with Lily's music legend dad.

Though Phil has a history of being tough on his daughter's love interests, insiders told Marie Claire that the musician actually approved of Lautner.

"Taylor was nervous about meeting him," a source said. "But they got along well."

Lautner and Collins became fast friends when she was cast opposite him and things turned romantic after a few months.
