Sam Taylor-Wood pregnant with her 19-year-old Nowhere Boy's baby
By Lucy Hutchings on Thursday 7 January 2010
Sam Taylor-Wood and her 19-year-old fiancé, Aaron Johnson, have announced that they are expecting their first baby together.
The 42-year-old film director confirmed that she is pregnant through a spokesperson, who commented: 'We can confirm that Sam is pregnant with her and Aaron's first child. Both are very, very happy.'
Taylor-Wood and Johnson met on the set of Nowhere Boy, her directorial debut in which he starred in the lead role as John Lennon. The couple announced their engagement in October 2009.
This is not the first child for the celebrated artist and film director. She has two daughters - Angelica, 12, and three-year-old Jessie - from her 11-year-marriage to art dealer Jay Jopling, which ended in September 2008.
It emerged that the parents-to-be were dating back in May 2009, with Taylor-Wood immediately dismissing the much-discussed age-gap, stating: 'I've always lived my life as fearlessly as possible. I don't really listen to other people's opinions, just follow my heart and my instincts.'

Oh, come on, just LOOK at Aaron - would you seriously say no?
Sam's a beautiful, talented lady and they've fallen in love. It's lovely. I wish them the best of luck.

If he were 5 or 10 years older it wouldn't seem so bad but he's still a teenager! He's got a very young face too, it really looks like she's his mother.
I very much doubt it'll last, he's still got a lot of growing up left to do, that's sure to change things.

If she was a man people would be chasing her with burning torches screaming 'paedophile', it's so two faced they way we regard this subject.
She's a sad old woman who should be looking after the two kids she's got not running around town after 19 year olds. He will not be with her when he's 25, and what a surprise a 19 year old going out with a director who saw 300 people for the part and claims 'he just really stood out'...whatever
