Who is Aaron Taylor-Johnson's wife Sam Taylor-Johnson?
Their age gap romance has regularly hit the headlines over the years, with the Kick-Ass star dubbed Sam's “red carpet toyboy” when they first went public.
Some critics have gone as far to say the relationship is 'controversial'.
At the premiere of Nowhere Boy in October 2009, the director and the lead actor walked the red carpet as a couple.
Around the same time, Sam gave an interview with The Guardian: "I managed to hold off really until almost the end of the film.
"Maybe feelings were there but un-acted upon"
"Maybe feelings were there but un-acted upon. The thing is, we had quite a psychic link when we were working together. I knew from a flicker of an eyelash what kind of performance I was going to get. I felt that link almost from day one of meeting him."
In early 2010, the news is confirmed that Aaron and Sam are expecting their first child. Sam had previously welcomed two daughters in 1997 and 2005 respectively with her ex-husband Jay Jopling, whom she separated from in 2008.
The couple welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Wylda Rae in July 2010, and two years later in January 2012, they welcomed another girl named Romy Hero Johnson.
