People reports that 20-year-old Kick Ass star Aaron Johnson and his fiancée, 43-year-old Sam Taylor-Wood, have welcomed a baby girl. Wylda Rae was born Wednesday in London. The couple has been together since 2009. This is the first child for Johnson and the third for Taylor-Wood — the mom also has two daughters with ex-husband Jay Jopling.

And upon birth the baby has a smaller age gap with the dad than the dad has with the mom. This couple creeps me out.
I read about them after I saw Kick Ass and I thought it was really weird. It’s hard enough having a child when you’re 43 but having a 23-year age difference with your spouse on top of that… I don’t know. Just for the record I’d find it equally creepy if it was a 43 year old man having a baby with his 20-year old (probably 18-19 when it started) girlfriend. Actors are strange folk.
These topics are so confusing but this hleepd me get the job done.
Word, JB.
Note: never have a baby with a person who already has a child too old to be physically yours.
That is math that we can all live by.
my mom is 6 years older than my dad, and he is only 10 years older than my oldest sibling. My mom was 16 when she had my brother. My father was 21 when they got together and adopted my siblings. And most people don’t realize that my dad and (HALF)brother are really not that far apart in age.
seriously how can you not gag while reading this!! gross! the 11 year old is going to have a step dad that is 9 years older. my own brothers are 13 years and they are completely related!! it is just gross! why would a 20 year old marry a 43 year old anyway?
Why? I don’t know. Maybe for the same reason a book series about a 100+ year old vampire, marrying and impregnating an 18 year old high school girl is popular.
Unless that vampire is frozen at age 17.
His LOOKS are frozen at 17. The fact that the Cullen kids pretend to be in high school after decades is creepy. And does no one in Forks realize that the doctor never ages and his kids never freaking graduate?
Uh, they move from different places when they’re suppose to “graduate”, which is WHY they had that inside joke with all their graduation caps. Apparently you’re not a vampire fan.
I’m with you, Quirky…. AshleyBrooke, you may be a very nice girl, but you’re missing the point. The fact that they have to move away all the time, so they can run the same con in another community is gross.
He is closer in age to his baby than his wife.
shame on you EW. the only reason this is news, is because of the age gap so that people use the comment section to judge something that it’s none of our business.
You aren’t a tabloid EW so stop acting like one.
No, the reason this is news is because he’s an actor. This is not the first time EW has posted wedding/divorce/baby announcements.
What readers then do with the news is their business, but personally, I think if the guy was 43 and the woman was 19, you wouldn’t see such a fuss being made.
This is very creepy to me. A 20 year old having a kid with a 43-year-old woman? Not savvy at all.
lol, what?
It’s really wrong to joke about her starring in “Predators” right????
No, it’s actually quite appropriate. She was directing the 19-year old lead in her debut film one year ago and now “ta-da,” they have a baby together!!! Nope there’s nothing weird about this relationship at all.
Yeah, unfortunately, the whole thing reeks of her setting him up. And, I gotta say, if you google them and check out the pictures, she’s obviously way more into him. She honestly comes off as a stage 5 clinger.
Those wacky Brits!
lol!!!! its creepy and awful :S
She actually has two daughters with her ex, and I think one of them is in her teens …
2 daughters, age 13 and 5.
Creepy and awful? So people are okay with gay people being able to live their lives however they choose but there’s a problem with two consenting adults getting married and having a baby?
The problem is that everyone’s a critic. They’re both entitled to live their lives however they please.
What in God’s name are you talking about?
I don’t see how you could’ve possibly missed the point. But i’ll explain it again: people are describing this relationship between two consenting adults as creepy and awful. My point is how is it creepy or awful? We live in a society where it’s completely okay for people of the same sex to marry and live their lives however they see fit. And yet, two consenting adults have a child and get married and because of the age difference, it’s suddenly wrong? We live in a world where it’s completely okay to be most anything that you want to be. Suddenly, everyone’s a critic with their own judgments of someone else’s life. They are free to live their life and have as many children as they see fit. It’s their life. That’s the point I’m making. I don’t see how you could’ve possibly missed it.
What I was confused by was that your initial statement made it seem like it was somehow bizarre that (some)people accept gay relationships. I read it as “So you accept those gays but not age differences?” I agree that the age difference shouldn’t matter. Glad to see my first reading was wrong and that you’re all for personal choice and freedom too. Sorry I misread it.
@Confused. Are you f*cking serious? He’s not even old enough to buy her a drink. He’s a tween and she’s old enough to be his mom. Just give them a few more years and he’ll be hooking up with his stepdaughter…then let’s see if you are still stinging that tune about consenting adults.
No, he is not a tween. Tweens are 9-12 years old. This guy is an adult.
a fitting name, Confused.
Agreed.
Confused–you have a severely valid point. As for those who didn’t understand what was said above, I can’t see how you missed it. Confused was dead-on. Why IS it okay by mainstream standards (and yes it is okay, cuz it’s all over the tv) for homosexual couples to be happy and couple up, but everyone has kittens when the not-so-new May-December romance is in reverse? Gahd…Judgmental lot, you people are. Let it go…live your own lives.
Okay, first, let’s be honest. We are NOT a society that accepts homosexuality. Gays are not even allowed to marry in the vast majority of US states. Second, yes, they are both adults, but technically, even though an 18-year-old is considered an adult, we all know that doesn’t mean they act like it. Aaron may claim that he is mature for his age, but so am I…that doesn’t mean I am ready to procreate and spend the rest of my life with someone more than twice my age. He’s just barely out of his teens and should be focusing on other things. They are both in completely different arcs of life, and realistically, she should know better. She should have let him live life as a young man who is still coming into his own before she stuck him with a ball and chain. It’s not a question of being awful and creepy as it is poor morality choices. He may think he’s completely happy now, but in a while I’m afraid he’s gonna start wishing he was a free man again. But since there is a child involved, I wish them prosperity. I usually don’t comment on things like this but I’m bored at work and I think Aaron’s gorgeous lol.
This is the exact thing I’m talking about when I say everyone’s a critic. I don’t know them personally, but what I do is that any type of limitation you put on yourself doesn’t apply to anyone else. How do you know that he’s not ready for such a relationship? Have you been dating him for the last couple of years? You say he should be focusing on something else, and that’s just silly. Focus on what? I don’t understand why some people are so bothered by the idea of an older woman marrying a younger man. Let them be.
Of course we criticize, it’s in our nature. Fortunately for me, I do it out of concern. Nature is something you cannot fight, try as you might. And nature also puts the odds against these two. They have barely been dating a year and they already have a child. That enough is a catastrophe. Then, factor in their ages. This is a woman who has had two children, one a teenager, and has battled cancer, bless her heart. She has lived so much more of life than he has and will expect him to understand certain things as her spouse that he could not possibly comprehend. If her daughter got pregnant by a MUCH older man, she would have some serious concerns as well. He has a fresh career that I assume he wants to focus on, he should be having fun with his friends, sowing his wild oats, educating himself. Things she got to do but he didn’t. He and I are the same age and I can’t imagine anyone our age being in his position and being completely happy. On top of that, the whole thing is completely rushed. Like I said, I wish them happiness, but it’s in my nature to be concerned about little things such as this as well as more important issues.
Here here x
Geez, that’s unbeilvelabe. Kudos and such.
As awkward as it may be, they’re both apparently consenting adults, and what they do is their business.
Don’t you all have enough problems of your own !
THANK YOU! Another person who agrees! If Aaron Johnson’s happy, I’m happy. I think him and Sam look kinda sweet together.
God, who cares? If they feel emotions (including but not limited to the concept of “love”) they should be allowed to live in peace.
