Sam and Aaron got engaged in 2009 and went on to get married in 2012. They also have two girls, Wylda Rae and Romy Hero, who were born in 2010 and 2012 respectively.

The two have acknowledged their 23 year age gap in the past. In an interview with The Telegraph, Aaron Taylor Johnson said:

“All that is my personal life, it’s sacred to me and it’s beautiful. But there is a lot of negativity around from other people. That’s their problem and their issues and however they perceive life. I live my life to its fullest and I operate from my instincts and from my heart, and I try to be as open as possible.”

Sam went on to add:

“I can’t dwell on what other people think or say. With Aaron it just literally felt like we were so connected, straight away. I didn’t know what it was then- we were connected when we were working and it was professional, and that connection grew more powerful as time went on and never diminished.”
