Aaron Taylor-Johnson always knew he was going to be a “young father.” The Kraven actor is a proud parent to four kids—two of whom are his stepchildren.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson fell in love with his wife Sam on Nowhere Boy when she directed him playing a young John Lennon. They wedded in 2012. The two are pretty private about their family life, and for a good reason. “We live behind walls,” he told Harper’s Bazaar. “Literally, figuratively, and deliberately. You’ll never see our children or any of our most personal moments on social media or in the press. We have our professional lives and our life together, and we keep them apart.”
For the first time, the eldest two made an appearance during their father’s red carpet premiere of Kraven. As for why the youngest couldn’t go, he told E! News, “Due to the rating, I can only let the ones that are old enough to watch it.” But they won’t miss out on the fun, as he said, “When they come of age, they’ll be able to see it.”
Here’s a list of Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s children and what they do for a living.
Angelica Jopling is Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s stepdaughter. She was born on April 24, 1997, to Sam Taylor-Johnson and her ex-husband Jay Jopling. She describes himself as a writer and curator on her Instagram, and according to LinkedIn is the founder of Incubator is a London-based gallery devoted to showcasing the work of exceptional emerging artists. She expressed her support for her stepfather in an Instagram post, “i am SO proud 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆”
Jessie Phoenix Jopling is Sam Taylor-Johnson and Jay Jopling. On her 18th birthday, Sam made a sweet Instagram post about her daughter. “You are everything and more,” she wrote I love you. I am so proud to be your Mummy.”
Sam and Aaron Taylor-Johnson welcomed their first child Wylda Taylor-Johnson in 2010. In an interview with Esquire, he explained his decision to become a father at the age of 20. “I knew I was going to be a young father,” he said. “I knew I was going to have many kids.”
Aaron and Sam Taylor-Johnson welcomed their second child Romy in 2012 just months before their wedding.
