Aaron Taylor-Johnson shared a glimpse into his tropical vacation in the Maldives with his wife Sam Taylor-Johnson.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson was Kraven some alone time with his wife.
So, it only makes sense that the Kraven the Hunter star and Sam Taylor-Johnson enjoyed a romantic getaway at a beautiful resort in the Maldives.
Alongside a series of highlights from their stay at a Soneva resort, Aaron wrote on Instagram Dec. 31, “A little break in Paradise.”
The photo dump begins with the couple, who tied the knot in 2012, posing on a fallen tree trunk on the sandy white beach. The 34-year-old also shared a snap of the 50 Shades of Grey director, donning black shorts and a cheetah-print top, riding a bicycle on the boardwalk that connects the villas. Sam—who shares daughters Angelica, 27, and Jessie, 18, with ex-husband Jay Jopling, as well as Wylda, 13, and Romy, 12, with the Kick-Ass star—wasn’t the only one taking a spin, with Aaron posing on his bike during a ride through the jungle.
But their excursions weren’t limited to dry land as the pair also put on some scuba gear and had an underwater adventure near anemones that were bustling with clownfish. They were sure to conclude their evening by embracing the peaceful beach at night, with Sam, 57, looking out at the moon above the waves.
Although the couple’s 23-year age gap has raised eyebrows since the beginning of their relationship, they’ve been tuning out the outside noise.
“All that is my personal life, it’s sacred to me and it’s beautiful,” Aaron told The Telegraph in 2019. “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.”
Despite any concerns, the Marvel star quickly knew that Sam was his person.
“When I met Sam, I’d already lived a life far beyond that of most of my contemporaries – I didn’t relate to anyone my age,” he explained. “I just feel that we’re on the same wavelength.”
“I knew instantly with Sam that I’d found my soulmate,” Aaron continued. “I knew instantly that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this person. I remember it very well, and a year to the day [after] I met her I proposed. I knew I wanted a family with her, I knew I wanted kids, and a month later she was pregnant with our first child.”
Now, read on for more of Aaron and Sam’s kick-ass family moments.
May 2009
Love at first read? “I wasn’t expecting anything that day,” Sam Taylor-Johnson told Harper’s Bazaar of future husband Aaron Taylor-Johnson‘s 2008 audition for her directorial debut Nowhere Boy. “Just to see a bunch of actors pretending to be John Lennon.”
The 18-year-old impressed in more ways than one—nabbing the role and eventually the director’s heart. “I knew instantly,” she later told The Telegraph of him nailing the read. “I could see how much research he’d done already just by the way he was standing and the few words he said.”
October 2009
Though she would later tell Harper’s Bazaar they “were very professional through the entire film,” after they wrapped, she continued, “He told me he was going to marry me. We had never been on a date, or even kissed.”
Precisely one year after they met, he shared, “I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me.” The pair announced their engagement at their film’s London premiere.
June 2010
By the time he was 11, Aaron recounted to Esquire, he was already planning for a big family. So not only was he ready to embrace the role of stepdad to Angelica and Jessie, Sam’s daughters with ex-husband Jay Joplin, but he was eager to add a few of their own.
“I knew I was going to be a young father,” he explained. “I knew I was going to have many kids.” The couple welcomed daughter Wylda in July 2010.
December 2011
Receiving an OBE recognizing her artwork and photography from the future King Charles III at Buckinham Palace, Sam brought along Aaron and her eldest daughters.
December 2011
A year and a half after Wylda’s birth, daughter Romy joined the team in January 2012. “The great thing about Aaron is that he’s happy not working and being at home with the kids while I work,” the director told The Guardian in 2015. “We’re actually fighting over it. He’s like, ‘No no, I like being an at-home dad, doing the cooking and the school runs.’”
October 2012
Months after their June wedding in Somerset, England, the couple (at the London premiere of Skyfall) revealed they’d decided to combine their last names into one.
“I just don’t see why women need to take the man’s name,” Aaron explained to the London Evening Standard. “I wanted to be a part of her just as much as she wanted to be part of me.”
October 2015
Mrs. Taylor-Johnson will see you now. While promoting Fifty Shades of Grey, the director raved about her years-long romance.
“Being in an amazing relationship, having come out of a difficult one, it felt so good,” she noted to The Guardian. “And I feel like that stability has enabled me to get on with doing this momentous project.”
But, no, she never once considered casting her man as Christian Grey. “We both read it and knew right then that when she went into direct it, I wouldn’t be the one to step into those shoes,” he told Marie Claire U.K. “And that was fine. It didn’t feel like one of us was like, “I really wanted to do that’…I’m obviously really, really proud of Sam and it was great to see her take that project and make it her own, and not have to feel like just because there’s a role…I feel like I’m too young for that role anyway!”
January 2017
When the actor won his first Golden Globe, as the star of Tom Ford‘s Nocturnal Animals, he shouted out all of his girls.
“I want to thank my wife for being there with me, supporting me through this,” he said. “Thank you for putting up with me. Jesus, that was not very pleasant in this role, so you’re my soulmate and I love you very much.”
“I’m blessed,” he continued. “I have four beautiful daughters: Angelica, Phoenix, Wylda, and Romy, I love you all very much.”
September 2018
Before teaming up for A Million Little Pieces, the duo teased their future plans. “We are definitely working towards something interesting,” Aaron told E! News at the 2017 Santa Barbara International Film Festival. “Hopefully we can get it off the ground. I mean, this is the best director right here I’m desperate to work with again.”
June 2022
Forgoing the traditional tin, the pair celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary with a vow renewal. “Yesterday was the most beautiful day, summer solstice, our 10th anniversary,” Aaron wrote, sharing the photos on Instagram. “We renewed our vows to one another and confessed our love in front of our nearest and dearest friends and family it was a celebration of love and joy!”
Echoed his bride, “10 glorious years. My incredible husband, father to all 4 girls. I love you, I love you, I love you.”
April 2024
While the stars (at the London premiere of Back to Black) are aware others want to address their age gap, “When you’re solid with someone in your own love,” she told The Sunday Times, “you don’t think about it.”
