Aaron later revealed that he proposed exactly “a year to the minute after we met.”
However, the couple waited three years after their initial engagement to finally tie the knot.
They married at Babington House, Somerset, on June 21, 2012, and both took the name Taylor-Johnson.
Aaron said their loved ones were “really lovely and supportive” of their relationship, with Sam adding, “They know how intensely we feel.”
Since they met, Aaron has achieved great success in the movies.
In March 2024, it was being strongly tipped that he would be the next James Bond.
A source said: “Bond is Aaron’s job, should he wish to accept it. The formal offer is on the table and they are waiting to hear back.
“As far as Eon is concerned, Aaron is going to sign his contract in the coming days and they can start preparing for the big announcement.”

Sam was married once before to gallerist Jay Jopling in 1997.
The art dealer is known for founding the White Cube gallery in London.
The former couple have two daughters together, Angelica and Jessie, born in April 1997 and 2007 respectively.
Her first marriage lasted 11 years before the couple confirmed to the public they were parting ways amicably in September 2008.
Do they have children?
Sam and Aaron also have two daughters together.
Just months after announcing their engagement, they confirmed that they were expecting their first child together.

Aaron and Sam then welcomed another girl Romy Hero, 18 months later.
