And what’s in front of him right now is his family, including daughters Wylda, 13, and Romy, 12, as well as stepdaughters Angelica, 27, and Jessie, 18, from wife Sam’s previous marriage to Jay Jopling.
Since meeting on the set of the 2009 film Nowhere Boy—which Sam directed—the two have been questioned about their 23-year age gap. But according to Sam, it’s something that doesn’t come up much for the couple in their day-to-day life.
“I mean, it’s coming up now because you’re asking,” she told The Guardian in April. “And it comes up on the outside perspective of people who don’t know us, because I guess people will always…We’re a bit of an anomaly, but it’s that thing: after 14 years you just think, surely by now it doesn’t really matter?”
The 57-year-old shared that she has never been “cynical” about their relationship, and instead prefers the approach that “love conquers all.”
And for her, being with Aaron has made a huge difference in her life.
