AceShowbiz - Aaron Taylor-Johnson, the "Bullet Train" star, celebrated the 18th birthday of his stepdaughter, Jessie Phoenix Jopling, on Tuesday, October 8 with heartwarming Instagram Story posts. The actor, who is 34, shared a throwback photo of a younger Jessie in his arms, captioning it, "Happy birthday BabyGirl."
In a more recent photo, Taylor-Johnson hugged Jessie in a grassy field, with the caption, "18 now...still my babygirl." Despite their close bond, fans expressed surprise online, noting the 23-year age gap between Taylor-Johnson and his wife, Sam Taylor-Johnson, 57.
The couple met in 2008 while working on Sam's directorial debut, "Nowhere Boy" in which Taylor-Johnson played a young John Lennon. They married in 2012 and are parents to two children, Wylda and Romy. Sam also has two daughters from her previous marriage to Jay Jopling, Angelica and Jessie.
In a recent interview, Sam spoke about the age gap and how it has not affected their marriage. She stated that their daughters "don't seem to care" about the criticism and have expressed their love and support for their parents.
Taylor-Johnson has also expressed his appreciation for the normality of family life, saying that it feeds his soul and keeps him disciplined in the gym. Despite the scrutiny they have faced, the couple has remained private and secure in their relationship.
