Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Wife Sam Pack on the PDA During Rare Public Outing

Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Sam Taylor-Johnson took their very married energy out for a walk in London, and yes, the cameras caught the PDA. If you ever wondered how private these two really are, consider this a rare peek: arm-in-arm, cuddly, and a quick kiss for good measure.

Spotted in Notting Hill

On Thursday, April 16, the couple were photographed strolling through Notting Hill in full off-duty mode, per pap shots published by Page Six. Aaron (35), fresh off 28 Years Later buzz, went incognito-adjacent in green sweats, a gray sweatshirt, a suede jacket, a baseball cap, and sneakers. Tote bag in one hand, wife linked on the other. Sam (59), the filmmaker behind Fifty Shades of Grey, matched the low-key vibe in olive sweats, a black tee, a black jacket with a fur collar, braids, tinted sunglasses, and strapped sandals.

The photos pretty much read like a relationship highlight reel: she tucks into his left side; he wraps an arm around her ( a Nowhere Boy throwback pairing, if you remember how they met); and at one point, they sneak a kiss while continuing the walk. Cute, efficient, very them.

Low-key, but not invisible

For a duo that met in 2008 and married in 2012, they have kept most of their home life to themselves. They post the occasional vacation photo, show up on red carpets when it makes sense, and otherwise stay out of the noise. Public PDA is not their usual setting, which is why this Notting Hill moment got attention.

Family snapshots

Aaron and Sam share two daughters together: Wylda (born 2010) and Romy Hero (born 2012). In December 2024, the couple hit the New York City premiere of Aaron's Kraven the Hunter and brought Sam's two adult daughters, Angelica and Jessie (from her previous marriage to Jay Jopling). All four posed together, smiling for the photographers. Their younger daughters, meanwhile, have not done any red carpet appearances.

About the age gap (because everyone always asks)

Sam is 23 years older than Aaron. He turns 36 in June. People keep prodding them about it; they keep not caring. Sam put it pretty plainly last year:

'Neither of us look at each other in that way. It is just a connection of souls and hearts and our life is our life where we are just moving through it in a gorgeous loving way... When people make films, or talk about it or question it or dissect it, it is so strange to me. When people fall in love, they fall in love.'

- Sam Taylor-Johnson to Time, May 2024

Aaron said something similar years back, and it still tracks:

'I just know that it works. I just feel secure and loved and safe. We have this very deep connection. We are just in sync.'

- Aaron Taylor-Johnson to Mr. Porter, 2017

So, yes: still together, still affectionate, still doing it their way. The Notting Hill photos are just the latest quiet check-in from a couple that usually lets the work do the talking.
