They met in 2008 during auditions for the film Nowhere Boy, which Sam directed and in which Aaron starred as a young John Lennon; he was 18 and she was 41 at the time, and they began dating after filming wrapped in 2009, becoming engaged in October of that year.

The pair have two daughters together: Wylda Rae Taylor-Johnson, born in July 2010, and Romy Hero Taylor-Johnson, born in January 2012.

Aaron is also a stepfather to Sam‘s two daughters from her previous marriage to art dealer Jay Jopling: Angelica Mara Jopling (born 1997) and Jessie Phoenix Jopling (born 2005).

Standing at 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 meters) tall, Taylor-Johnson has often undergone physical transformations for his roles.
