How did Aaron Taylor-Johnson meet wife Sam? Truth behind divorce rumors as couple puts Hollywood Hills home for sale

The couple is yet to release an official statement about their marriage but people on Twitter are already speculating

Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Sam Louise Taylor-Johnson's marriage is under scrutiny on Twitter but there seems to be little truth to it. The British actor started trending on Twitter on Tuesday, April 27, morning, and there seemed to be much tittle-tattle — most of which was unsubstantiated and baseless. In fact, a source close to the pair confirmed that the Taylor-Johnson’s are a "very well-respected, beloved, talented family unit".

First things first, there has been no official statement from either Aaron or Sam about their marriage falling apart. However, they did list their marital home in Hollywood Hills on the market recently for $7.5 million, which could have partly been responsible to fuel these rumors. Nonetheless, the hearsay was rather far-sighted and had no proof at all. Here's what really happened, the truth behind the rumors, and a look at their beautiful love story.

Truth or a blatant lie?

Social media was buzzing with tweets about a possible divorce between Aaron Taylor-Johnson and his wife, Sam Taylor-Johnson. "Good Afternoon Aaron Taylor Johnson better actually be divorcing his wife," read another tweet. "The SECOND Aaron Taylor Johnson gets a divorce the girls are going to POUNCE on him I don’t even think he’ll have room left enough to breathe," wrote another fan.

Meanwhile, there were a couple of others on Twitter who wondered if all these rumors were a lie. "Aaron Taylor Johnson is never trending on Twitter but when he does it’s based off of a lie I hate it here," read a tweet. 

Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Sam Taylor-Johnson's first meeting

Aaron and Sam met each other while shooting John Lennon's biopic 'Nowhere Boy' in 2008. He was just 18 years old at the time and already had a couple of projects under his belt while Sam who was 42 at the time was a renowned artist and director who was raising her two daughters.

The two immediately caught feelings for each other but stayed professional even when everyone on set knew about the romance brewing between them. "And as soon as we finished, he told me he was going to marry me. We had never been on a date, or even kissed," the director said in an interview. "And a year to the minute after we met, exactly one year to the minute, I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me," Aaron chimed in. 

"In the 10 years we’ve been together, we’ve only been apart for maybe two or three days. And those were the worst days of those 10 years," he said of his wife.

Their marriage was always under scrutiny

The couple married in 2013 at Babington House, Somerset. Speaking of the excessive public attention their union was subjected to, the actor said, "The attention was intrusive. But having to deal with that early in my career probably got me to a place where I can more quickly just go, 'Oh, f*ck it' instead of wanting to rip someone's head off for asking questions I don't like."

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Sam said she tried to not pay heed to all the nasty things that were being said about her marriage. "If I gave a second thought to other people, I would be the unhappiest person, probably still in a miserable marriage,' she told the outlet. "People like to talk about it. I'm like, 'Yeah, but it works better than my last marriage.' It's lasted longer than a lot of my friends' marriages," she added. 

Will Aaron Taylor-Johnson divorce his wife Sam?

The couple is yet to speak out about the rumors surrounding their marriage. While an official statement is awaited from Aaron and Sam about where their marriage stands, a representative close to them quashed all baseless rumors and said that they are a "very well-respected, beloved, talented family unit."

Moreover, there are a couple of fans who are saddened by the rumors and are rooting for their wedding to stand the test of time.

There was no proof for the tweets that started floating on the micro-blogging website rather abruptly and MEAWW certainly does not support these views shared on social media.

The couple has happily been together for over a decade now. The pair bought their Mediterranean villa in Los Angeles in 2013 for $4.3 million and had recently listed it for $7.459 million, per property records.
